The Casal di Serra is a wonderfully fruity, well-structured Verdicchio with fine minerality and freshness. Very tasty and of good structure. Thanks to the discreet aroma it is a good companion for many occasions. SUPERIORE.DE

"Vibrant and lively fruit, melon, white peach, citrus. Zesty acidity, juicy palate, dry and well balanced, with quite a long finish." Decanter

"Made with organically farmed grapes, this boasts intense aromas of jasmine, Rennet apple and white peach. The juicy, concentrated palate delivers grapefruit, Concorde pear, ginger and a hint of sage alongside fresh acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Individual drop of autochthonous vine: ruby-red violet, aromatic vinous scent with notes of roses, violets and undergrowth. Warm on the palate with clear tannin, soft and accessible. A wine you like to drink over and over again. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fruity and flavorful with blackberry and tar flavors. Medium body, light tannins and a fruity and fresh finish." James Suckling

"Bright and floral, with violets and sweet herbs. Crisp and fragrant, plush texture. Very good value, top example of its style." Decanter

Bertanis Ripasso is a true classic. The grapes come from the hills around Valpantena and from the direct Valpolicella Classico area. The production at Bertani is carried out according to the traditional method: The young Valpolicella wine, already fermented, is mixed with the skins, which are now naturally dried, giving it a richer and more concentrated aroma. It then undergoes a second so-called "ripasso" fermentation, which is triggered by the yeasts still present in the shells.

Intense purple with violet reflections. In the bouquet numerous dark red fruits like blackberry, currant and ripe cherry. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, which with the slightly increased residual sweetness gives an exciting yet dry impression. Velvety and balanced, with a rather long aftertaste. An ideal wine for the dark months and an excellent accompaniment to strong, intense and aromatic dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blueberry and leather notes, with prominent oak tones yet good fruit concentration. Crisp acidity, and crunchy young tannin." Decanter

Wonderful, energetic Sardinian cuvée of Vermentino and Chardonnay with great freshness and dynamics. Floral nuances, apple, pear and light mint aroma pamper the senses. SUPERIORE.DE

"Wonderful wildflower bouquet with peachy and grapey notes. Vivacious, bright, tingling and full of flavour. Young and delicious, it dances on the palate. One of the best Vermentino blends I’ve tried." Decanter

Baccanera is an aromatic Piedmont cuvée made from Barbera, Merlot, Nebbiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the spicy fragrance notes of tobacco, plum and a hint of cloves. Multilayered on the palate with fresh fruit, beautiful structure and well integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark crimson. Peppery, rich dark fruit with top notes of sour cherry and mere hints of oak. Plentiful red and dark fruit on the palate and definitely concentrated, but strikes a good balance with the almost integrated acidity and coating, ripe tannins. A truly hedonistic offering." Jancis Robinson

"Powerful, juicy black fruits nose. Rich and rounded, full-bodied palate with some well-judged oak and a spicy, long finish." Decanter

"Lots of blackberries, blueberries and hints of sandalwood following through to a full body with lots of juicy tannins. A flavorful finish. A serious red that needs two or three years to soften." James Suckling

Dreamlike Barbera, dedicated to the last work (La Luna e i Falo = Young Moon) of the writer Cesare Pavese. This wine symbolizes the connection to the earth and to the own origin.

Dark purple. In the nose complex aromas of dark red, plump, juicy cherries, finest spices, plums and black forest berries. In the mouth polished, dense and with lots of fruit. Present but silky tannins, finely enclosed by the fruit, full of finesse and persistent with a first-class acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blueberry, blackberry and lavender aromas. Full-bodied, round and delicious. Juicy finish." James Suckling

"Very ripe, toasty nose, smoky blackberry fruit. Rich and generous, this has excellent fruit and concentration. The oak tannins give structure and there’s sufficient acidity to give flair and length." Decanter

The Sassella Le Tense is aged for one year in small oak barrels. Beautiful aromas of candied cherries and spices, complex and flattering on the palate, the tannins firm and enveloped by the fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

"Raspberries, rose and geranium nose with earthy and plummy flavours followed by a dry and orange finish with hint of dried anice." Decanter

"Loaded with spice box, wild herb and graphite aromas, this medium- to full-bodied red is bright, with tangy acidity, offering flavors of fresh and candied strawberry fruit, trimmed by light, taut tannins that firm the minerally finish." Wine Spectator

Barbera d'Asti Superiore Le Rocchette shows great energy and concentration. Dark fruits, spices and a concise minerality in the racy bouquet. Lively and very juicy on the palate, all components in admirable balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh, intense nose of raspberry, violets and lavender scents, and elegant and energetic palate, juicy, smooth, with satisfying savoury finish." Decanter

"Blackberry and licorice aromas lead to a fresh, juicy palate that has a neatly arranged red-cherry core. A little tar and earth character and a smooth resolve." James Suckling

"The 2016 Barbera d'Asti Superiore Le Rocchette is a gorgeous example of Barbera from Asti. Floral and savory, with attractive earthy underpinnings, the 2016 offers tons of complexity and nuance in a mid-weight style that is hugely appealing. Sweet dark plum, espresso, licorice, dried herbs and menthol all open up in this super-expressive, understated Barbera from Olim Bauda." Vinous

Lively ruby with bright violet reflections, in the nose rich fruity aromas, typical of wild berries and sour cherries. On the palate fresh, balanced and well structured, with silky tannins and spicy accents. A classic of the appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid crimson. Savoury and a little reductive at the moment, but this is a cask sample. Gorgeous succulent sweet red fruit and gripping tannins. Very long, juicy and gripping." Jancis Robinson

"Reoccurring rainy periods throughout the growing season made it challenging for organic producer Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi. He credits the constant winds inherent to the area of Monti in Gaiole-in-Chianti for helping keep the grapes clean and healthy through to harvest. While not immediately charming, Rocca di Montegrossi's annata demonstrates impressive concentration and tannin structure for this vintage. It is very youthful with great energy and freshness on the palate but still fairly tightly wound. I'd give it a few more months in bottle before approaching." Decanter

Rosso dei Notri is a solid, concentrated drop with bite and strength, which gives a lot of pleasure with its fleshy, long lasting taste, the pleasant overall harmony and the reasonable value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Powerful, bright ruby red. In the nose appealing notes of dark berries, fresh and powerful. On the palate much smooth tannin, finely meshed, builds up well, long aftertaste, juicy." Falstaff

The 2018 is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Aimed at younger drinkers, it's intended to be immediately approachable: only 10% of the wine spent time in oak, and not for very long, so the emphasis is on a fruity, accessible style. The nose is delicately balanced between dark blackberries, blackcurrants and bright red berries. Juicy flavours and vivid acidity give a nice freshness to this medium-bodied wine. Decanter

"The 2018 Rosso dei Notri  is a very fresh and tonic red that surprisingly comes from fruit harvested two weeks later than normal. And Merlot is not always happy to stay on the vines for longer than it has to. It's a fruit-forward wine that was aimed more at freshness instead of concentration, making it a good pair for a simple margherita pizza. You get terrific value here." Robert Parker

Dosage Zero - a rare and "bone-dry" version of Prosecco Superiore without any dosage during the second fermentation - shines with a delicate bouquet of light fruit and floral notes. Tasty and dynamic on the palate, in perfect harmony with filigree perlage. Goes perfectly with light Mediterranean cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense bright silver-gray with persistent perlage. Crunchy, intense nose of fresh lime, delicately smoky with nuances of flint, in the aftertaste fresh fruit. On the palate it is crisp and balanced, with a harmonious and well integrated perlage, harmonious in its attack and development. Falstaff

"Bright green fruit, refreshing citrus, cedar, and wisteria on the nose. Fresh crisp apples and pears on the palate, long and elegant." Decanter

Intense ruby red Vino Nobile Riserva with a spicy bouquet of dried fruit, cinnamon, cloves and liquorice. On the palate smooth and with multiple nuances, beautiful fullness, structure and intensity, smooth tannins. Very sophisticated pleasure at an excellent price. SUPERIORE.DE

"Smells homely of ripe stone fruit, leather and spices; the supple tannins perfectly integrated, precise fruit finish. "A very dignified style, can mature. Vinum

"Bright ruby red. Restrained nose, reveals only soft notes of violet. On the palate juicy and slightly salty, it has a crisp arch, fruity, with a slight after-drying in the aftertaste". Falstaff

"While I have a slight preference for the 2016 annata, Gracciano della Seta's 2015 Riserva is a fantastic wine. It hails from two of the estate's four crus and includes fruit from their 50-year-old vines. After spending a year in smaller tonneaux, it spends a further twelve months in large casks. Well-defined aromas of fennel, clove and celery echo on the palate. Polished tannins embrace dense, mouthfilling black currants and plum, finishing with captivating nuances of lavender." Decanter
