You will appreciate the basic energy and finesse of this wine." Wine Advocate

"Perfumed, with flowers, dark berries and some raspberries. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and firm tannins. Hints of chocolate and berries. Flavorful finish. Needs a little time to open, but already precise and focused." James Suckling

The Tralcetto Montepulciano is concentrated and beautifully complex - the popular classic of the house. Already in the powerful bouquet of sweet and sour cherries, it reveals its original grape. True to the open and authentic style, it reveals a very good flavour system with powerful fruit. A wonderful Montepulciano with a nuanced spectrum of aromas and a remarkable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Spiced black cherries, cloves and camphor introduce the 2021 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. It smooths over the palate with juicy red fruits and sweet spices propelled by vibrant acidity.

"The bouquet of the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silìneo opens as if chiseling into an ashen stone to find a mix of blackcurrants and exotic curries. It has a soft texture, is airier and more refined than expected, with juicy blackberry fruit accompanied by sour citrus and savoury herbal notes. Grippy tannins linger under hints of violet and lavender as the 2019 finishes structured but not austere. The Silìneo is mainly Sangiovese with a little Mammolo and Corolino." Vinous

"Aromas of ripe berries and cherries with vanilla undertones. It is full and juicy with a big palate and a creamy finish. Multi-layered, if a little old-fashioned." James Suckling

Zenato's world-famous Valpolicella Superiore, produced in the Ripasso method, is a rich wine with the best value. It is peppery, with earthy tones and gravel giving way to black cherries and savoury herbs. It reveals deep, silky textures balanced by vibrant acids, while ripe red and black fruits resonate under a hint of lavender. Zenato's Ripassa is concentrated and intense, but at the same time conveys elegance, leaving a fresh note of violet candy on the palate that lingers long. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Valpolicella Superiore Ripassa is dark and brooding in the glass with rich plum and mocha tones accompanied by crushed ash. Inside, it is surprisingly juicy and energetic, combining sour cherry with notes of sage and black olive over a core of vibrant acidity. The 2019 leaves the cheeks tingling and finishes full of tension and spice as the balsamic notes slowly fade." Vinous

"An elegant red, medium-bodied and fresh, with light, fine tannins framing a juicy range of sun-dried cherry and cranberry fruit, red licorice, eucalyptus and spiced orange peel notes that linger on the finish." Wine Spectator

"A beautiful blend of red berries, bright orange peel and spicy cedar on the nose, leading into a full, round and silky palate with very fine tannins that are well integrated into the texture. Lots of flavour and good length. Hard not to settle for a glass or two of this. Sustained. Drink now." James Suckling

Attractive salmon colour, pleasant bouquet, elegant, fresh on the palate, juicy beautiful fruit, lively acid structure, subtle extract sweetness in the finish. A versatile food companion with a great enjoyment factor! SUPERIORE.DE

"Light salmon rosé. Juicy, fruity scent of red plums and ripe mirabelles, also a nice phenolic is recognisable here. Also on the palate the full juicy fruit of stone fruits and green and white berries (gooseberry). Also something vegetal like green herbs and leaves. It also shows a fine minerality. Partner for seafood and light fish dishes." Vinum

A bright, brilliant wine with golden reflections. The aroma is characterised by floral notes, summer fruits and honey. Rich and fresh on the palate with a full round finish - very drinkable! SUPERIORE.DE

"A concentrated wine with citrus, candied fruits, ripe pear, green fruits, and a chalky texture with a pleasantly phenolic finish." Decanter

Terlaner Cuvée (formerly Terlaner Classico) is the wine that best embodies the identity and personality of this iconic agricultural cooperative in South Tyrol. It has been closely associated with the history of the winery like no other wine since its founding year in 1893. Since the 2013 vintage, its grapes have come from selected vineyards in the Vorberg, Kreuth and Winkl sites. Aromas of tropical fruit and passion fruit, peach, pear and sweet almonds are surrounded by a salty, mineral vein, giving this beautiful white wine finesse and the typical Terlan character. SUPERIORE.DE

Here comes one of the most beautiful interpretations of the white grape variety Carricante. Fresh, dynamic wine from Etna with a multi-faceted aroma of citrus, white peach, yeast, flint and smoke. Cool grapefruit, taut acidity and impressive mineral hints in the dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Etna Bianco opens with a whiff of crushed stones and raw almonds, giving way to crushed green apples. It soothes with its round, enveloping textures. Zesty acidity and salty mineral tones add a reverberation of tension. It leaves a subtle tart tinge of sour melon while finishing pleasantly fresh and saline." Vinous

"Bright straw yellow with golden reflections. In the nose of tropical fruits, orange peel, ripe apple and some fumé. On the palate very mineral, fresh and salty, animates to drink, balanced, long final." Falstaff

"A restrained nose with notes of tar and fresh pavement, then lemons and limes, opens to a palate bright with citrus but also stony and peppery, before a long finish carried by powerful acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2021 Etna Bianco is fresh and beautifully balanced with white peach and grapefruit contrasted with minerals and volcanic ash. This crisp white wine proves very drinkable and enjoyable thanks to the almost salty finish that would go well with fried prawns or Thai spring rolls. It matures on the fine lees for six months. The fruit comes from three different contrade: Arrigo (in Linguaglossa), Verzella and Pietramarina." Wine Advocate

"It has aromas of grilled pineapple, papaya and chamomile with distinct smoky and ashy undertones. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Spicy, with fantastic flint and smoke character." James Suckling

"The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso gorgeous wine shows how compelling this vintage is on the Tuscan coast. Effusive and deep, the 2021 is beautifully layered from start to finish. Gentle touches of mocha, new leather, cedar, tobacco and dried flowers add complexity throughout." Vinous

"Attractive aromas of dark berries with crushed walnuts, spicy herbs and dusty earth tones. Medium to full-bodied with a firm grip of tannins that are fine and polished. A juicy acidity cuts through the linear finish. Fresh with a stony minerality that shines through on the finish." James Suckling

"The wine shows itself from the start with powerful but also very fresh fruit notes of dark cherries and blackberries. The quality of the primary fruit is perfect, especially in this balanced vintage, and you get powerful flavours that go well with grilled meats. The wine has tremendous structure, acidity and elegant tannins." Wine Advocate

Concentrated ruby red with garnet reflections. To the predominant black cherry and berry scent, the wood contributes very slight hints of roasted coffee. Full and very intense flavour of dark berries, very slightly of violets and plums, the compact tannins are supported by balsamic notes, fine liquorice tones in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very attractive, ripe aglianico with dried berry, chocolate and some walnut. It’s full, layered and delicious." James Suckling

"Ashen soils, crushed stone, animal musk, plum and exotic savory spices can all be found in the dark and sultry 2016 Aglianico Riserva Contado. It’s velvety yet not weighty, energized by bright acidity with tart black fruits, minerals and grippy tannins that saturate the senses. There are unseen depths here which are currently restrained by the Contado’s hulking structure, yet there’s also a harmony that tempts the imagination as to what’s to come. Currants, wild herbs, salted licorice and hints of tobacco linger long. This is like a well-muscled stallion, yet it needs some time in the cellar to soften." Vinous

Ruby red interspersed with garnet slivers, intense and concentrated bouquet of red berries, liquorice and some flint. On the palate, the pleasingly juicy extract with beautifully balanced wood tones and floral notes is evident. An excellently vinified Cirò Classico Riserva with very noble tannins and harmonious acidity - just as the friend of southern Italian wines loves it. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Cirò Riserva Duca Sanfelice is dark and brooding, with hints of crushed stone giving way to blackcurrant and a touch of mentholated herbs. It is round and soothing, with juicy acidity and ripe red and blue fruits running throughout the wine. The fine tannins provide a gentle draw, while the finish is long and fresh. The tart blackberry flavours slowly fade away. The quality/price ratio here is fantastic." Vinous

"Pure Gaglioppo from romantic old vines, bush-grown, with fine maceration followed by 36 months of ageing in steel tanks, notes of red plums on the nose, with hints of cinnamon, pepper leaf and menthol. Salty on the palate, with a fruity menthol finish." Luca Gardini
