Intense straw yellow with a light rim. Fine nose of flowers and white melon. Macrina, fragrant and balanced with its mineral-salty flavour and notes of flint, is irresistibly fresh, long and juicy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with green reflections. Intense aroma of meadow flowers and white stone fruit on the nose. Balanced acidity on the palate, mineral and with fine citrus notes, salty finish." Falstaff

"This white wine is loaded with mixed citrus aromas: mandarin orange, lemon, tangerine and orange flower water. Sometimes heady, the wine meanders between the intense citrus notes and more savory and floral aromas giving more depth and character to the wine. The rounded palate has citrus flavors at its core with notes of honey, almond and sea salt all intertwined, finishing with a crushed stone minerality." Wine Enthusiast

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

Pure Nero d'Avola, named after the Lago di Disueri, a lake in the province of Caltanissetta in the centre of Sicily. Deep, dark red in colour, with an intense aroma of dark fruit and a hint of eucalyptus. Powerful and round on the palate, smooth and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant dark ruby red with a brightening rim. Slightly meaty and bloody on the nose, with savoury cherry fruit, fine resinous tones, ripe strawberry on the finish. Young on the palate, with fresh tannins and beautiful juiciness, clear fruit, simple, savoury wide-meshed tannins on the finish." Falstaff

"Ripe black cherries, blackberries and dried meat with some new leather and tar. Quite juicy, fruity and fluid on the palate with a medium body and soft tannins. Smooth, brambly finish." James Suckling

Ruby red colour, fresh nose of red fruits and spices. Pleasant flavour: fruity, balanced in tannin and acidity, very lively and crisp. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour. Still somewhat restrained on the nose, of ripe cherry, rosehip and cloves. Opens on the palate with clear fruit and animating acidity, fine, young tannins." Falstaff

"This tightly wound red's chewy tannins maintain a stranglehold on the wild strawberry and cherry fruit. Accents of earth and tobacco add detail, yet the finish feels pinched for now." Wine Spectator

"The nose balances savory, slightly astringent aromas of coffee, soil, pepper and balsamic with sweeter notes of cherries and blackberries. That berry element glows on the palate, but an enduring peppery earthiness preserves the balance. Firm tannins usher the acid into a sophisticated, salty finish." Wine Enthusiast

The Nero d'Avola grapes come from vines up to 30 years old from the Noto region. Animatingly delicate fruity notes of pineapple and raspberry. Round, full and wonderfully drinky on the palate, with beautiful, medium-ripe fruit, spice and a cool, fresh-salty final. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fresh and crunchy rosé with peach, red apple and cranberry aromas and flavors. Medium body. Creamy texture with attractive fruit. Flower, peach and honeysuckle aftertaste. Drink now." James Suckling

"Bright salmon pink. In the nose nuances of pink grapefruit, stone fruit, lightly reminiscent of Mediterranean maquis in the aftertaste. Fresh and mineral on the palate, ends with a salty final." Falstaff

Racy, elegant and very authentic Rosso di Montepulciano, slender and feminine, with the flavours of ripe red cherries and good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour with a violet hue. Intense and multi-layered nose, showing notes of ripe sour cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants, with hints of violets and cloves on the finish. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with soft tannins and a long finish." Falstaff

"A pretty bouquet of bright cherries and pink flowers makes the 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano a real pleasure on the nose. It is juicy and savoury rather than sweet, with hints of wild berries and minerality. A hint of liquorice resonates on the medium-long finish, while the 2022 finishes fresh." Vinous

"Raspberries, chocolate, hazelnuts and bark on the nose. Creamy, fresh and balanced, with a medium body and bright acidity." James Suckling

Strong coral pink with a slightly lightening rim. Magnificent bright colour, smells of fresh peaches, apricot and Mediterranean herbs. Gripping on the palate, full of purity, spice and with a hint of minerality. Good body with a juicy-fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicate salmon pink. Strawberry and Mediterranean herbs on the nose. Creamy and balanced on the palate, well-integrated acidity, refreshing, elegant final." Falstaff

"Bright, sparkling salmon pink colour. Inviting nose of juicy cherries, redcurrants and meadow herbs. Velvety on entry, with a beautiful arc of tension and precise fruit, supported by lively freshness through to the lingering final." Falstaff

"The 2022 Rosato Gróttolo opens with a pretty blend of rosebuds and young peach. On the palate, it is smooth and round, with crisp acidity and wild strawberry fruit. The finish is remarkably fresh and leaves a hint of bitterness." Vinous

Distinctive white from the Monferrato. The aromatic grape variety Sauvignon Blanc gives the wine its unique floral bouquet, with some pear and apple split added. Its velvety texture and fine acidity are the basis for its medium-bodied and fresh taste. Tra Donne Sole (The Lonely Women) is named after a work by Cesare Pavese. SUPERIORE.DE

"Passion fruit, gooseberry and citrus aromas are followed in the mouth by super fresh acidity and a good concentration of green and tropical fruits. Austere, tangy and lively, it's a delicious alternative to New Zealand wines." Decanter

"Bright straw yellow with green reflections. Intense, aromatic nose, gooseberry and elderflower. Juicy and fresh on the palate, builds pressure, racy acidity, salty final medium length." Falstaff

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

"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

A fine and extremely affordable little Supertuscan from a very good house. Ruby red, it spreads a pleasantly fresh scent of red berries. Its fruity taste is round, very harmonious and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

"An expressive and fruity wine made from Sangiovese and Merlot with aromas of red cherries, currants, berries and nutmeg. The palate is crisp and medium-bodied with soft tannins and juicy red berries. Pristine, medium length finish full of berry fruit." James Suckling

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

"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

Purple dark red colour, beautiful foam. Cherry nose, continues in the fresh drink with notes of elderberries and a fine bitter note. A high-quality, dry and powerful Lambrusco from the Enrico Cialdini vineyard with remarkable juiciness and well-balanced sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium, purple-red colour; intense red berry, inviting; very fine foam, certain sweetness, balanced, drinky, fruity length, very nice." (JLF) Merum

"Dark as night in the glass, the 2022 Lambrusco Grasparossa Vigneto Cialdini smolders up with a seductive bouquet of sage and lavender giving way to black currants and sweet smoke. It’s more savory than sweet with textures of pure silk, further embellished by a creamy steam of fine bubbles and ripe wild berry fruits. This leaves a licorice tinge while tapering off remarkably fresh yet also long and staining to the senses. I’m loving the complexity yet also the elegance here. The Vigneto Cialdini is a varietal Lambrusco Grasparossa." Vinous

"Concentrated aromas of black plum, fig, blackberry, white pepper, allspice and tea leaves pour from the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a lush and generous offering of black cherry jam balanced by floral and spicy elements that bring the wine to its earthy finish." Wine Enthusiast

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

Planeta's fabulous Grillo is an extremely classic Sicilian, aromatic-fresh and intense on the nose with notes of pink grapefruit, balanced, firm and with a lot of tension on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with green-silvery nuances. Delicate on the nose, warm and delicately scented with apricots and lemon balm. Soft and supple on the palate, with a fine fruity flavour and a slightly bitter finish." Falstaff

"This soft, textured Grillo from vineyards in Menfi is a delicious example of the variety's attraction: herbal, lemon and orange peel integrate with tropical fruits and citrus pith, with a fresh, saline character." Decanter

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
