The rugged, red-tinged rocky landscape of Ripe in the immediate vicinity of the vineyards gave its name to the Riparosso. Its intense bouquet of delicately fresh character is beguiling, the velvety and mild taste absolutely seductive. SUPERIORE.DE

This white Re Manfredi, made from Müller-Thurgau and Gewürztraminer, is exceptional and outstandingly successful. Iridescent straw yellow with a beguiling apricot and rose scent. The well-structured, fresh taste is full-bodied, aromatic and spicy. SUPERIORE.DE

Barbera Sovrana is a fruity, very pleasing wine with a deep ruby colour and a powerful nose of ripe cherries and earthy tones. On the palate, it is balanced and of medium length. SUPERIORE.DE

"A crisp, nimble red with ripe red berries and some floral notes. Hint of cocoa powder, too Long, clean and fresh finish. Always a good barbera." 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

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

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. Purple dark red. Spicy scent of cherries, thyme, wild mushrooms and earth, the typical, genuine taste is powerful and concentrated with subtle sweetness. This wine is already a great pleasure, but still has potential for the next years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Smoky spice notes to the ripe raspberry fruit on the nose with hints of roast chestnuts and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, slightly dry tannins and a bright bead of plum-skin and raspberry fruit that together give a tight, fruity finish. Sustainable. Flavorful and fun, but a bit rough at the edges just now. Needs a bit more time to meld together. Try from 2023." James Suckling

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

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

"Dark, purple ruby; intense, resinous raspberry fruit, inviting; juicy, intensely fresh-fruited, finely tart." Merum

"Delicious Nero d'Avola with perfumed black fruit, stained with licorice and herbs. Medium-bodied with an exquisite balance of fruit, well-integrated tannin and spot-on acidity." James Suckling

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

Pale yellow, crystalline colour. Harmonious aroma of citrus fruits, especially grapefruit. Powerful on the palate, fresh, long lasting and mineral reverberation accompanied by a wonderful almond/pepper note. SUPERIORE.DE

"A lemony fruit base, but it's the hints of mimosa, pungent earth and almond that really attract. The same character on the palate, which is medium-bodied and shows a touch of tannin-like firmness, carrying a tight bead of citrusy flavor into the long finish. Serious Soave here that pricks all the senses." James Suckling

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

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

"Dark ruby red with violet. In the nose with a clear use of wood, light malt, milk chocolate, then violets and wild berries. On the palate supple and with a rich melting, comes in many layers, then in the finish unfortunately a bit consuming due to the wood use." Falstaff

"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

Medium ruby red. Sweet and spicy aromas of raspberry, milk chocolate, red cherry and violet. Complex and sweet, with very soft tannins, high but harmonious acidity and beautiful generosity and elegance to the red cherry, savoury and floral flavours. A deep, sweet, rich wine with supple tannins that are wonderfully harmonious after brief aeration. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright red-ruby. Offering nuances of licorice, graphite, and coffee complementing sour red cherry aromas and flavors as opposed to the ripe red cherry more typical of Primitivos made from from grapes grown on white calcareous-rich soils." Vinous

Fine, lean and racy Chianti Classico from organic cultivation - and one of our special favourites for over 15 years. Engaging aromatics, dense, firm body, deep and juicy, with well-defined tannins and a fresh and appetising finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, fresh ruby with a fine garnet rim. Very clear and inviting nose, full of fresh raspberries, dark plump cherries, some spicy herbs in the background. Juicy in attack and course, lots of polished tannin, good tension, salty and long." Falstaff

"Youthful mid crimson. Crushed stones and raspberry on the nose and stony raspberry fruit with firm tannins on the palate. Ends almost a little mouth-watering. Confirms its trademark as an elegant wine." Jancis Robinson

"Ripe wild berry, blue flower and dark spice aromas form the nose along with whiffs of new leather. Tangy and easy drinking, the savory palate offers mature Marasca cherry and licorice alongside lithe tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"A very typical and beautiful Chianti Classico with cherry, burnt-orange and polished-wood aromas that follow through to a full body with round tannins and a fresh, vivid finish." James Suckling

Rich ruby red. Bouquet of rose hips and ripe raspberries, juicy and gripping on the palate. For us, another beautiful facet of the Chianti Classico, as it must be: authentic, drinkable and with excellent value! SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium red; fruity-woody-barrelled, inviting; powerful, richness, good depth, barrelled, juicy, quite good tannin, very nice." Merum

"Sparkling ruby with a slight garnet shimmer. Shows a fine scent of blossoms on the nose, some violets, wrapped in goji berries and ripe raspberries. Clear and straightforward on the palate, showing fresh fruit on the attack, fine-meshed tannin, firm and sturdy on the final." Falstaff
