Doctor Wine

Deep ruby red colour with violet hues. Clean, intense and persistent on the nose, with notes of red fruits, blackberries and sour cherries. Full and fruity on the palate, with notes of tobacco and liquorice on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is incredibly pretty with its display of crushed violets, mint, wild strawberries and wet stone. It’s a soft and fleshy effort that keeps the energy high, as zesty acids usher in a pure display of red and blue fruits. Hints of tannin mix with sweet spices and minerals to create a pleasantly tactile feel, as this tapers off fresh and slightly savory." Vinous

"Plum, blackberry, bay leaf and spices on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Juicy with lively acidity and a fruity, spicy finish." James Suckling

An inexpensive and at the same time consistently high-quality white wine from an autochthonous vine is the Pecorino from Villa Medoro. Stimulating in aroma, ample and juicy in taste. A great wine for every day. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for this Bardolino Classico come from the Tacchetto vineyard, located at the foot of the Adige Valley near the village of Cavaion. The success pattern of this extremely popular red is easy to describe: a unique terroir of sand, scree and limestone and an always well-ventilated site. Intensely fragrant and engaging. On the palate, the clear and unambiguous structure and, as the drink continues, a silkiness that catapults it from a standing start into the hearts of Bardolino lovers. SUPERIORE.DE

The straw yellow Soave Classico smells light and floral of citrus, apple, jasmine and elderberry. Soft and creamy on the palate with subtle almond tones and a mineral vein, all embedded in a fresh, crisp acidity. A vibrant, sophisticated white with aromatic character and a tasty bite. Certified organic since the 2019 vintage. SUPERIORE.DE

"Crisp and lightly chalky, this seamless, light-bodied white offers juicy notes of ripe melon and nectarine, with hints of honeysuckle, pickled ginger and blood orange peel." Wine Spectator

"Fresh lemon, white-peach and dry-stone aromas follow through to a medium body with a tight mineral framework and a clean bead of lemony fruit to the end." James Suckling

The grapes for Vigna Pedale come from vines that are over 30 years old. The vines are planted in a small tree system, which allows only a few grapes per vine. The harvest does not begin until mid-October, very unusual for a site this far south. Spicy scent of thyme, wild mushrooms and earth, the typical, unadulterated taste is powerful and concentrated. This wine is already a great pleasure today, but it still has potential for the next few years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Purple dark red; reductive, stale fruity notes, reminiscent of cherry juice; juicy, sweetness, fruity, also length." Merum

"Bright garnet. Noble, finely spicy nose of ripe raspberries, delicate incense, chalky undertone, reverberating with elderberries. Balanced on the palate, with pressure, showing juicy, pithy tannin, also salty, spreads out widely, elegant, with a long finish." Falstaff

"Good bright, dark red. Smoke, raspberry, wild herbs, flint and menthol on the refined nose, accented by black pepper. Densely packed, with strong but harmonious acidity nicely framing the flavors of strawberry, minerals and herbs. Youthfully chewy tannins provide a serious spine and support the flavors on the long back end that features laser-like precision." Vinous

Characteristic straw yellow with bright reflexes. Delicately fruity, clear bouquet of medium ripe pear, some apricot and a nutty note. In the drink fresh and of unmistakable finesse, with tender-herbal notes and animatingly juicy. A crisp-fresh Tuscan with beautiful harmony and pleasurable drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

Dark, intensely sparkling ruby red. On the nose cherries, blackberries, blueberries and spices, rounded off with a nice mineral and balsamic touch. Youthfully cool on the palate, initially even rather purist, it becomes smoother with increasing air intake and reveals its spicy vein. For us, in its unmistakable style of young Bordeaux wines, it is the classic dry companion to grilled or roast dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Plummy fruit on the nose with undertones of charcoal and spice. Medium-bodied with bright fruit flavors and light, fine tannins that are well integrated. Vegan. Clean and crisp malbec." James Suckling

Concerto is an extremely elegant, perfectly balanced Lambrusco. Purple ruby, fine foam. Clear and flawless its dark fruity blackberry aroma, round, fresh and animating the dry, tart-spicy taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark purple with a persistent head. In the nose of rich cherries and plums, blackberry syrup, also has something of elderberries, delicate yeasty notes in the finish. Juicy on the palate, with tension, shows well-integrated perlage, has persistence throughout." Falstaff

"Black cherry aromas. Frothy mousse, plums and concentrated black fruits on the palate." Decanter

Golden yellow Falanghina with greenish reflections and pleasantly fresh broom scent. Well-structured on the palate, very rich and complex with balanced acidity and aromas of pomegranate and very delicate blossom notes in the finish. Svelato - open and undisguised, as its name suggests. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of peach, apricot and sage translate to a medium-to full-bodied palate. Good acidity and intensity and a surprising, delicious burst of candied pineapple at the end." James Suckling

Dark, concentrated Nero d'Avola with a rich bouquet, inviting, intense raspberry fruit and sweet tannin. A full-bodied red with nice spice and a great value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Wild peppery herbs and flowers waft up from the 2018 Nero d'Avola. This impresses with a soothing display of ripe black fruits, enlivened by vibrant acidity. Purple-tinged inner florals form toward the close. Salty mineral tones, blackberries and hints of sour citrus linger long as this tapers off with a bitter twang. The 2018 is harmonious and very easy to like. It may not be a wine for the cellar, but it will certainly win a lot of hearts right out of the gate." Vinous

When a winery only makes two wines, the "second wine" is rarely of bad parents. This is also the case with Etichetta Bianca, which is hardly inferior to its bigger brother from the single vineyard Minaia. Delicately fruity nose of citrus and elder with a nice herbal spiciness. Soft and full on the palate, the fresh acid wire makes it a wonderful food companion. In the middle finish, the typical Bergaglio refinement and mineral vein. SUPERIORE.DE

Light yellow in the glass; fresh, fruity scent of pear and peach, fine taste. An elegant white wine full of character, light and easy to enjoy. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red, with a fruity-herbal scent, spicy taste and fresh acidity, this evergreen from the Maremma (not only as a perfect food companion) convinces us every year anew. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright garnet with a transparent core. Opens with a rich aroma of freshly roasted malt coffee, black elderberry and cherry liqueur, with hints of tobacco. Stretches pleasantly over the tongue, shows itself supple and balanced, interwoven in the tannin, of medium weight, reverberates extensively, has potential." Falstaff

Sparkling ruby red with an intense aroma of ripe wild berries, concentrated, full-fruited yet elegant taste that finishes in a fresh, smooth finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is soft and rich with blackberry, baked cherry, dusty terracotta and grilled fennel seed. The wine shows much of that earthy character that is associated with the two complementary grapes used in this blend. Benuara offers great value." Robert Parker

Taglio del Tralcio is a highly aromatic drop from the Aglianico grape. It smells of dark forest berries, with delicate hints of leather and rosemary. Warm and gentle, it shows a beguiling fruit and persistence on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

S. Maddalena Classico "Huck am Bach" is a pretty, feminine wine. Small red berries, hints of sweet spices and flowers in the bouquet, soft, round and fruity on the palate and very passable length. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderfully complex Soave from vines over 20 years old. Sparkling light yellow with green reflections. In the restrained reductive bouquet of bitter almond, flint, jam of fruits with white and yellow flesh, dried fruits and pastries. The palate is dry, warm and soft, fresh, spicy and slightly astringent, with a full, balanced body. With increasing aeration, it reveals its great complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense aromas and flavors of red peach, almond paste and bright, floral notes. Medium-to full-bodied with a dense core of peachy fruit and a long, silky finish that features the more savory, almond and floral elements. Very intense, but never too much. Delicious Soave that's so easy to drink." James Suckling

"Better known for its range of Valpolicella and Amarone, Tenuta Sant'Antonio also has a property planted to Garganega on the stony calcareous soils of Monte di Colognole, on the western edge of the DOC zone. Vecchie Vigne is a low-yield, barrique-aged, 5,000-bottle selection. The 2018 has attractive citrus and white blossom notes next to the oak on the nose, and a solid palate with chunky concentration and good ageing prospects." Decanter

Soave Monte Carbonare is a beautiful, rich and mineral white wine. Complex aromas of apricots, citrus and orange, structured, expansive and fresh on the palate. Good ageing potential and highly drinkable! SUPERIORE.DE

"Incredible melange of fruit on the nose here. Fresh pear, melon, peach and more exotic notes of papaya and even banana. Add to that aromas of dried flowers and river stones. Medium-to full-bodied and layered with lip-smackingly fresh, exotic fruit up front and a dense bed of sweeter fruit and mineral underneath. The intensity doesn't let off for minutes. Best decanted." James Suckling

Bright, shiny yellow, fine fragrance of white fruits and blossoms. Fresh, well-balanced taste with pleasantly lively acidity, delicate bitter almond note in the finish and a fine mineral vein in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, luminous straw yellow. Expressive and floral on the nose, of peach blossom, juicy lemons, a hint of crisp pear, also lightly reminiscent of freshly cut grass and mint in the finish. On the palate with a fresh, crisp core, with a salty, racy course, spans a harmonious arc, long and clear, a classic." Falstaff

"Aromas of white spring flower, citrus and wild herb waft out of the glass. Tangy and crisp, the savory, linear palate delivers juicy white grapefruit, yellow peach, fennel and dill alongside bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Dreamlike Barbera, dedicated to the last work (La Luna e i Falo = Young Moon) of the writer Cesare Pavese. This wine symbolises the connection to the earth and to one's own origins. Dark purple. On 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, finesse-rich and persistent with a first-class acid structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rather complex nose here with a black-fruit core that’s colored by a variety of aromas, from hazelnuts to clay-like minerals, violets and perfumed bark. The same complexity on the almost full-bodied palate with luscious, sweet-fruit flavors and a controlled finish with very fine, lightly firm tannins. Long, savory aftertaste. Nicely done. This is serious barbera that will age nicely for some years. Gets better and better every vintage." James Suckling

Minaia is the top vineyard of the same name in the Gavi DOCG area and the flagship of the Bergaglio winery. Bright yellow with green reflections. On the nose, fine citrus, peach, pear and almond tones, slightly reductive. On the palate, precise and with a lot of race and class, as befits one of the appellation's leading wines every year. The long finish is complex with a beautiful minerality. SUPERIORE.DE

Misco, the white top product of the house and a Verdicchio matured in stainless steel, exudes an elegant bouquet of floral and aniseed tones. On the palate, a great interplay of juice and power, spicy tension, fresh citrus notes and aromatic firmness. It is among the best of its denomination every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Herbal nose, mineral notes. Palate shows grapefruit focus, flinty undertones, a fruity finish." Decanter

"Spicy and full of unbridled energy, the 2019 Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco wafts up with an inviting display of crushed green apples, candied ginger, incense, stone dust and almond paste. It's a silky and medium-bodied effort that soothes all that it touches in ripe orchard fruits, but it then cleanses the palate with a blast of salty acids. pepflorals and hints of lime linger, as the mouth waters for more. While the Misco is already firing on all cylinders, it wouldn't hurt to lose a few bottles in the cellar for a year or two." Vinous

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 pale pink. Slightly floral on the nose, of grapefruit and lemon zest, lightly of strawberries, fine. On the palate juicy, with fine fruit melt, slightly salty, uncomplicated, yet not banal, lingers long on the finish." Falstaff
