“Silineo” Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2019
Rich and dense ruby red, open and accessible nose with beautiful blackberry fruit, light tea notes in the background. Also in the taste a beautiful fruit, reminiscent of ripe, dark cherries, then hearty tannin and a round finish. You simply can't get more classic Vino Nobile for this price. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep aromas of black cherries and herbs; juicy on the palate, the firm tannins form a symbiosis with the acidity, combines polish and character into the long final." Vinum
"Dark, powerful ruby. Shows emphatically fragrant notes of cedar, boxwood and pine needles on the nose, some lemon. Juicy fruit on the nose, then opens up with slightly drying tannin on the final." Falstaff

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

Ripassa della Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2019
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

“Alta Mora” Bianco Etna DOC 2021
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

“Contado” Aglianico Riserva Molise DOC 2016 · MAGNUM
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

Rosso di Montepulciano DOC 2021
As always, the Rosso from Cerro is good and very drinkable. Smoky, spicy and chocolate notes in the pleasantly fruity bouquet, typical of the grape variety, juicy and persistent on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE
"Radiant clear ruby red. Rich heart cherries adorn the nose, then black forest berries and delicate herbal spice. Discreet on the palate, distinctly soft tannin, harmonious, light-footed, juicy on the palate." Falstaff
"Some blueberry and black cherry with a steely edge. Medium body. Firm palate." James Suckling
"Like opening a fresh pack of violet candies, the 2021 Rosso di Montepulciano opens in the glass dusty and tinged with blue and purple floral perfumes. It washes across the palate, silky and pliant, with ripe wild berries and inner lavender tones. The finish is lightly tannic yet fresh, with a lingering candied blackberry note. " Vinous

“Duca Sanfelice” Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva DOC 2020
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

Italy and wine. They just belong together. In no other country is wine so taken for granted. Italians are connoisseurs. Italian cuisine is world famous. Lunch and dinner are often really celebrated. And there's no meal without wine. This has a long tradition in Italy. Everywhere. From South Tyrol to Sicily. Some regions have built up a great international reputation with special autochthonous varieties that are native only to these regions. Above all Tuscany with Chianti, Brunello or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Or the Super Tuscans after models like Sassicaia, Ornellaia or Tignanello, which can keep up with the best red wines from Bordeaux.
World-famous are also the top wines from Piedmont, Barolo and Barbaresco, which are often compared in their finesse and elegance with much more expensive wines from Burgundy. Or Amarone from the valleys near Verona, Soave and Bardolino from Lake Garda. Or the cool red ones (yes!) from the Sicilian up-and-coming region around the hot volcano Etna.
Italian wines are diversity.
Due to the different climate zones and soils up to the mountains of Valtellina, but also close to the Mediterranean Sea or big lakes, there are various wine variants. Italian White wines as well as red wines, sparkling wines or dessert wines. In San Gimignano as well as in Puglia. From South Tyrol to Sardinia. There is actually no region in Italy without demanding viticulture.
Back to the roots. Old grape varieties and organic wines are "in"
For some years now, excellent wines from organic cultivation have been on the rise. Old grape varieties are rediscovered and celebrate successes, some winegrowers literally fanatically cultivate their wine in amphorae and bring great so-called "natural wines" into the bottle. All this makes Italian wines so typical, wonderful food companions with fine fruit and drinkability are the recipe for success. And all this with a very good price-performance ratio. The best wines of Italy never let boredom arise, from the "icon wine" to the up-and-coming boutique winery: exciting wine experiences await you! SUPERIORE.DE
