Fresh, floral-scented rosato from Castel del Monte, beautifully accessible and wonderfully fruity in flavour. A correctly vinified everyday wine that we really enjoy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright pink colour. Rich flavour of wild strawberries, ripe pears and yellow flowers. Delicate fruit melt and mild acidity on the palate, grapefruit flavour, cool core, lacks some pressure in the mid-palate, fine tannin, persistent." Falstaff

"A fruity rosé, exuding aromas of strawberries, watermelon and cranberries. Soft and juicy on the palate, with medium body and a nicely dry finish." James Suckling

Deep red colour, fascinating complex aroma spectrum on the nose. Dominated by the ripe berry scent, with hints of plums and tobacco. Powerful and intense on the palate, rich in extract, with juicy soft tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Ilico opens with a burst of crushed blackberries, underbrush and ashen stone. It's silky-smooth with polished red fruits that form beneath an air of inner violet florals. This finishes long and staining yet only lightly structured with a bump of residual acidity that maintains a lovely balance." Vinous

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

Very bright red with lively, persistent foam. Fragrant of wild strawberries, cherries, pomegranate juice, wild flowers and aromatic herbs. Fresh and fruity on the palate, taut and elegant. Beautiful length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, fresh pink; red fruity notes, also some yeast; fine foamy, discreet fruit, practically dry, drinky, pleases." (JLF) Merum

Rich straw yellow, fresh, floral fragrance and clear fruit of white peaches and some honey. The intense taste is taut and fresh with mineral hints, round, juicy and long in the finish. The complexity of this wine for this price range surprises us very much, this is Puglia of the new generation. Good length and Storage potential - ideal with grilled fish dishes, Mediterranean vegetable pans or even light terrines. SUPERIORE.DE

"An appley nose with some orange zest, mango and a hint of honeysuckle. Plump and round on the medium- to full-bodied palate highlighted by tropical citrus with a saline edge and some chopped herbs in the finish." James Suckling

Rosso Piancarda is intensely flavoured and perfumed, with medicinal cherries and raspberries complemented by dusty roses and sweet cedar wood notes. On the palate, Piancarda turns to the savoury spectrum. Salty and full of savoury minerality, it shows spicy red fruits, a hint of plum and a lively acidity that keeps the expression fresh. The grippy tannins remain until the final, while the notes of sour citrus fruits and tart berries slowly fade away. SUPERIORE.DE

"Shimmering ruby red colour with a deep dark core. Juicy plums on the nose, with a hint of ginger and a slightly animal note. Grippy and savoury on the palate, with dense tannins, lush fruit and a pleasantly juicy final." Falstaff

"The 2020 Rosso Conero Piancarda, a Montepulciano grape variety, rises from the glass with a dusty mix of dried roses, redcurrants and a hint of nectarine, creating a truly inviting bouquet. The wine is silky and elegant, almost creamy, yet sublime and cool, with mineral forest berries and a saline note adding a savoury touch towards the end. The 2020 leaves a layer of fine tannins as inner flowers arch across the palate and a minerality slowly fades. The warm vintage has given this wine a particularly soft character, but the structure and acidity of the Piancarda are beautifully balanced and should favour medium-term cellaring. Put a few bottles in the cellar, you'll thank me later. " Vinous

One of the most characterful dry Lambruschi in our range every year. Bright cherry red colour with a brightening rim. A wide-ranging aroma of rhubarb and red apple, with fine floral notes, roses and a finish of wild strawberries and raspberries. Wonderfully fresh and fruity flavour with a very juicy finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling cherry red with a persistent perlage. Fragrant and intense on the nose, with floral notes of dried rose petals and fruity nuances of orange zest and fresh cherries. Lots of ripe strawberry on the palate, with fresh acidity and pleasant salinity, fine tannins and a long final." Falstaff

"Clear, raspberry-accentuated red berry nose with floral and herbal nuances, a hint of blackberries and a hint of juniper. Cool, fresh and tart-fruity in the mouth, fine mousseux and some grip, vegetal to herbal and floral nuances, some parsley, animating acid bite, good persistence, ethereal traces, clear salt in the background, very good finish with tension." Wein-Plus

"Fresh pink; fresh raspberries; quite fine, fruity sweetness, juicy acidity, drinky" (JLF) Merum

"The Lambrusco del Fondatore 2022 has a bright ruby red colour and shows sweet notes of black cherries, smoke and a hint of violet pastille. The palate is flooded with a silky pearl of bubbles, which gains traction with salty, mineral tones, while notes of raspberry and liquorice play around the palate. The 2022 rejuvenates with admirable length and a pleasing chewiness that lingers with hints of candy and inner rose." Vinous

"This zippy sparkler opens with aromas of freshly squeezed cherries that envelop the senses as floral and herbal aromas slowly come into frame providing contrast to the bright fruit notes. Plump mixed berries jump on the palate as the creamy texture and soft bubbles transport the palate to the next level." Wine Enthusiast

Brilliant raspberry pink colour. Subtle aroma of small red berries and some citrus with mineral and floral tones. The elegant, red-fruity, salty and fresh flavour is clear and polished on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very light pink; subtle red berry flavour; smooth foam, fruity-sweet, long, drinky, very nice." (JLF) Merum

"Sparkling, light cherry red with a fine-grained and long-lasting perlage. Fresh raspberries and strawberries on the nose, with citrus fruit in the background. Well-balanced on the palate, with a pleasant perlage and well-integrated tannins, drinky and fun." Falstaff

"Aromas of wild strawberries, sour cherries, orange peel and fresh thyme open the nose of this fresh and lively sparkling wine. The palate is tangy with crushed raspberries, roses and a hint of game, finishing with an electric acidity that keeps the palate fresh and lively." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2022 Lambrusco di Sorbara Vecchia Modena Premium is remarkably pretty with dusty rose and dried strawberries forming its bouquet. This is full of zesty tension, with a core of tart wild berry fruits complicated by brisk acidity and mineral tones as hints of sour citrus add tension toward the close. It finishes crisp and clean, leaving the palate perfectly reset for another round. Nicely done." Vinous

Characteristic straw yellow with light reflections. Delicately fruity, clear bouquet of medium ripe pear, some apricot and a nutty note. Fresh in the mouth with unmistakable finesse, delicate herbal notes and animatingly juicy. A crisp, fresh Tuscan with beautiful harmony and an enjoyable drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Vermentino is a very pretty wine. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint and spice are nicely laced together in this open-knit, soft white from Morisfarms." Vinous

The grapes for the Vigna Pedale come from vines that are over 30 years old. The vines are planted in a sapling system, which allows only a few grapes per vine. The harvest does not begin until mid-October, which is very unusual for this location so far south. Purple dark red colour. Spicy aroma of cherries, thyme, wild mushrooms and earth, the typical, unadulterated flavour is strong and concentrated with a subtle sweetness. This wine is already a great pleasure today, but still has potential for the coming years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a drop of violet. On the nose with nuances of Amarena cherries, beetroot, also with great spice, like mustard seed, after a little time then on noble wood nuances, appears stony. Clear juiciness on the palate, with plenty of fruit at the core, cool finish, balanced and with race, firm pressure on the final." Falstaff

"On the nose, smoky spice notes to the ripe raspberries with hints of roasted chestnuts and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied with fine, slightly dry tannins and a bright bead of plum skin and raspberry fruit that combine for a tight, fruity finish. Lasting. Flavourful and entertaining." James Suckling

This white Re Manfredi, made from Müller-Thurgau and Gewürztraminer, is exceptional and outstanding. Iridescent straw yellow in colour with a beguiling apricot and rose aroma. The well-structured, fresh flavour is full of fruit, aromatic and spicy. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a fragrant white, exuding lychee, peach, melon and orange-blossom aromas. Exotic and tasty, with medium to full body and an oily texture." James Suckling

Carmelo Morgante's spicy and dark Nero d'Avola opens with a burst of blood orange, crushed blackberries, balsamic herbs and violet blossom. It is silky smooth yet cool in flavour. Crisp wild berries and tangy citrus fruits form the contrast. A youthful tension unfolds on the palate, while tart cherries and cranberries mingle with sweet tannins. It reveals much more depth, concentration and balance than you would expect for this price.

Delicate salmon pink. Fragrant notes of citrus, rose petals and strawberries on the nose. In the mouth it has a nice minerality, crispness and freshness. A good dose of acidity and its complexity predestine it to be a characterful and racy companion to aromatic fish and vegetable dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright baby pink. In the nose of Mediterranean maquis, fresh cherries and citrus fruits, in the reverberation slightly of pumice. In good balance on the palate, with a slight tannic trip and good drinking flow." Falstaff

"Notes of candied red berries and dried orange peel. Some dried herbs, too. Medium-bodied, waxy and ripe with a richness to the fruit and a creamy finish." James Suckling

Deep dark red, complex, almost beguiling aroma reminiscent of full, ripe raspberries and strawberries; finest spice, creamy, chocolaty, very haunting. Soft, incredibly dense and opulent on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Cerasuolo di Vittoria - a seasoned local red with great tradition and just as much character. Typical fragrance of the wines from Vittoria: Aromas of red berries, cherries, prickly pear, ginger and fruit sweets. Tasty, extremely complex, fresh, lively and yet balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Cerasuolo di Vittoria wafts up, more savory than sweet, with smokey earth tones and crushed rocks giving way to black raspberry. This washes across the palate with mineral-tinged red and blue berry fruits complicated by inner herbal tones. Brisk acidity maintains energy throughout as the 2021 tapers off with a salty flourish, leaving licorice and spice hints to linger." Vinous

"Bright ruby red with violet shimmer. Intense nose of fresh strawberries and raspberries, then slightly spicy and a hint of bitter chocolate. Salty on the palate, with a fine acid spectrum, well-integrated and fine-grained tannin, long final." Falstaff

"Aromas of black cherries and blood orange slices. Medium to full body, undertones of orange peel and a juicy finish. Clean, focused and genuine. Delicious all round." James Suckling

Straw yellow, vinified from Chardonnay and the indigenous vine Nascetta. Intense, floral, characteristic bouquet with a scent reminiscent of raspberries and blackberries. Dry, but full and persistent on the palate, Il Fiore leaves impressions on the palate that invite further enjoyment. 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

"Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. Very floral nose, pink grapefruit, elderflower and other herbaceous notes. Mouth-filling, balanced, complex, intense and very dense. Long finish highlighting the contrast between fruity and juicy." Falstaff

"Sweet nuts and lime blossom fill the glass with heady soft clouds of aroma, but the palate has a textural certainty that is anything but soft. The volcanic soils have given the wine a mineral framework, a symmetrical matrix of flint and phenol in which the flesh is deeply embedded. White pears, almond cream, white peach and lime. A hint of finely ground pepper. Fine silvery strands of acidity that thread the whole into a glittering carpet of light. "Sotto voce" splendour now, it will only get more complex, honeyed and exciting in the years to come." Jancis Robinson

"Sun-dried lemon, spiced mandarin and ripe melon on the nose, followed by a generous and intense palate with medium to full body. Almost some hay and candied fruit on the finish, but not in an old-fashioned way. Fresh and bright." James Suckling

"From Ceriani di Colognola ai Colli, historic family estate, 50-year-old vines, from pure Garganega refined in steel only, notes of clementine zest, touches of yellow grapefruit, citrus thyme and hawthorn. Savoury on the palate, citrusy return." Luca Gardini

Rich and dense ruby red colour, open and accessible aroma with beautiful blackberry fruit and light tea notes in the background. The flavour is also beautifully fruity, reminiscent of ripe, dark cherries, followed by hearty tannins and a round finish. More classic Vino Nobile for this price is simply not possible. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby red colour with brightening edges. Accessible on the nose, ripe berry fruit, sour cherry, dried violets, some coconut on the finish. On the palate with a certain light-footedness, ripe fruit tannin, juicy, subtly vegetal on the final." Falstaff

"The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silìneo 2020 opens with hints of white pepper, chalk and dried blueberries. It is silky and plush with tart forest fruits that give it tension. A salty, mineral core provides a savoury character. Wild herbs and liquid stone characterise the finish, while the 2020 ends with a light structure and medium length." Vinous

Pale straw yellow with greenish inclusions. Restrained, elegant bouquet of apple, mango and peach. Almost distinguished and aristocratic on the palate with the typical, flavoursome aftertaste of hazelnut and light fruit typical of the Nosiola grape variety. With its piquant acidity, it is ideal with light meat dishes or shellfish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Nosiola is dusty and floral, with a whiff of cedar and dried flowers offset by spiced citrus. This is saline and precise, with soft textures yet an abundance of mineral tension, as tart orchard fruits cascade across the palate. It tapers off with admirable length and wickedly fresh, crunchy and savory, ending with a salty sensation." Vinous

Medium ruby red. Sweet and spicy aromas of raspberry, milk chocolate, red cherry, orange zest and violets. Complex and juicy, with very soft tannins, high but harmonious acidity and beautiful generosity and elegance to the red cherry, salty and floral flavours. A deep, rich yet very clear wine with supple tannins that are wonderfully harmonious after a short aeration. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, strong ruby red. In the nose scent of dark berries, herbs and forest floor. On the palate present, fine tannin, light pleasant fruit sweetness and persistent, spicy final." Falstaff
