Convincing Montepulciano d'Abruzzo of high quality at a very attractive price. Typical, strong fruit aroma, full-bodied taste and spicy structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Beautiful ruby red color with violet reflections. Rich bouquet of red roses, black cherries, berries, rhubarb, black pepper. Hints of undergrowth and smoky tones. In the mouth with soft texture, balanced and with spicy tannins." Bibenda

Deep ruby red colour with violet tinges. 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

"Intense garnet with purple. In the nose of ripe forest fruits, undergrowth, strawberry jam, in the aftertaste of noble mushrooms. Opens up hearty and red-fruity on the palate with well integrated tannin, not too bulky, nicely balanced, drinkable, good food companion!" Falstaff

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 pattern of success 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 captivating. On the palate, the clear and unambiguous structure is captivating and in the further drink a silkiness that catapults it from a standing position into the hearts of Bardolino lovers. SUPERIORE.DE

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

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

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

Primitivo Felline smells of ripe berries, flowers, figs and raisins. Its extremely dense taste is supported by present but sweet tannins and a fresh and tart plum finish. The classic of the winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"Il Preliminare" - "The Preliminary Remark". Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti's wines remind with their names of his father's notary world.

Made predominantly from white vinified Aglianico grapes, fragrant with white flowers, orange peel, peach and bitter almond. Fine texture, bright and dancing on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine scent of melon and flowers. On the palate deep, creamy texture, generous and fresh. A delicious white wine from Argiolas, mainly Nasco with a small part of Vermentino. SUPERIORE.DE

"A full-bodied white with tropical-fruit notes of ripe pears, mangoes and jack fruit on the nose. Touch of smoke and fresh herb. Creamy and balanced by tangy acidity. Sliced white grapefruit, too. Delicious." James Suckling

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

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

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

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

Intense purple with violet reflections. On the nose numerous dark red fruits like blackberry, currant and ripe cherry. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste which, together with the slightly increased residual sweetness, gives an exciting yet dry impression. Velvety and balanced, with quite a long finish. An ideal wine for the dark months and an excellent companion for strong, full-bodied and aromatic dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

The Verdicchio Podium has a strong personality with its fragrance of citrus fruits, broom and lime blossom, tropical fruits and almond. The taste is perfectly balanced and dynamic in its different components, spicy and of unbeatable harmony the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Flinty nose. Rich, honeyed, peachy palate with citrus undertones. Concentration and pithy length." Decanter

"The 2018 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Podium is spicy and wildly fresh, wafting up with zests of lemon and lime, followed by dusty yellow flowers and white smoke. Its textures are velvety and round, verging on oily, while remaining wonderfully poised and finessed throughout. There's almost a feeling of vibration on the palate, as notes of ripe green apple with a hint of tropical citrus and savory spices amass in the mouth and linger long. The sheer density of fruit, along with balanced acids, make the 2018 a perfect contender to cellar, but it is showing beautifully today." Vinous

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

"Macerated cherry and raspberry fruit is accented by wild rosemary and a stony mineral element in this red. There is a fluid feel, yet it's also firm, and the tannins emerge on the finish." Wine Spectator

Re Manfredi is a masterpiece made from the autochthonous Aglianico grape variety. Its label is emblazoned with the coat of arms of the ruling house of Emperor Frederick the Hohenstaufen, who was at home here. Deep ruby red, fragrant, intense and complex bouquet, rich fruit, robust structure, fine tannins and clean, pleasant bitter tones in harmony, very dense, elegant, spicy and complex with a subtle woody tone. A beautiful, characteristic red! SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red, persistent, fruity bouquet with notes of wild berries, violets, cloves and cinnamon, as well as sweet tobacco aromas. On the palate concentrated, fleshy, tannic, dark fruit. In the finish, the spicy tones merge with a pleasant fruity note. All in all a promising drop at a very attractive price! SUPERIORE.DE

"Very rich, dark ruby red. In the nose after fine wood spice and ripe raspberries, cherries, forest fruits, some liquorice in the aftertaste. On the palate it opens beautifully, juicy and clear, handy tannin until the final, delicate post-drying." Falstaff

"Cherry, leather, iron and earth flavors shout Sangiovese, yet there is a saline element too. Linear, dry and persistent. Shows fine balance." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of cherries and watermelon follow through to a medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The bouquet is savory yet slightly restrained in its youthful state, as notes of crushed raspberry give way to peppery floral and herbal tones, with a hint of spiced orange. On the palate, silky textures flood the senses with pure cherry and wild berry, as saline-minerals and fine tannins slowly settle in, kept lively through balanced acidity. The finish is long and structured with saturating dried red fruits resonating, turning more toward the savory spectrum, as youthful tannins clench the senses. The 2016 Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva is a blend of 80% Sangiovese with equal parts Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s classic in every way and geared up for a long stay in the cellar." Vinous

Apulian top wine from 60 to 70 year old vines! Zinfandel Sinfarosa Terra Nera offers a bouquet of overripe fruit and tobacco with an impressively fresh, but at the same time dense taste with sweet tannin and good persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Good full red. Aromas of blueberry, black cherry, steel shavings and blood orange. A creamy-sweet fruit bomb but not at all over the top, offering a remarkably light touch to its flavors of red fruit and herbs. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and a nicely persistent savory character." Vinous

A cuvée of Corvina, Sangiovese, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, rich in finesse, which seduces the nose tirelessly with aromas of fruit and herbs, while the palate presents a remarkable substance and richness with a blend of lightness and tension. Impressive how this vintage edition does justice to the expressive and harmonious style of the house and the old Veronese tradition. SUPERIORE.DE

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

Bright, aromatic, almost exuberant Falanghina, which focuses on its well-defined, brilliant fruit and its pleasantly pleasing nature. Fine summer meadow fragrance, citrus fruit tones on the palate and a dry grain note. Very lovely and full of character at the same time! SUPERIORE.DE
