Gambero-Rosso

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

"Marasca cherry, licorice root, mint and fennel. The mid-palate, ferruginous and mid-weighted, in the most savory and meaty sense. This is one of those wines, inimitably Italian by virtue of its dry structural focus, that just needs a few years. Not too much time. Just a modicum of patience. Stay the path." James Suckling

"A sweet blend of violets and lavender gives way to crushed blackberries and chalk dust lifts from the 2021 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riparosso. It washes across the palate with soft textures and ripe wild berry fruits that are neatly contrasted by sour citrus toward the close. This finishes perfumed and with admirable length, leaving a coating of dusty tannins that tug at the cheeks. Nicely done." Vinous

Lively ruby red. Opens with notes of violets and roses, laurel, myrtle, thyme and small pickled cherries. The taste is juicy, fresh and spicy with long fruity notes and dense, well-integrated tannins. From vines over 20 years old. SUPERIORE.DE

A fragrance of yellow fruits rich in nuances, which exudes ever new facets of green apple, lime zest, gooseberry and fennel in the glass. On the palate, a great structure with a crisp bite and lots of fresh berry fruit. Long, soft and very pleasant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Real bite and excellent acidity. Very pure. Medium length." Jancis Robinson

Purple ruby red. Pure-toned Lambrusco - pressed from predominantly Lambrusco Salamino - with a creamy, fresh-tart flavour, fine elderberry notes and nice acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

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

Excellent, single-varietal red wine from the ancient southern Italian vine Nero di Troia. Violante convinces with its fine-smelling, red-berried and delicately smoky bouquet. Fresh on the palate, well structured and beautifully balanced between fruit and acidity, it is a wonderful food companion and very inexpensive everyday wine. SUPERIORE.DE

As always, the Rosso from Cerro is good and very drinky. Smoky, spicy and chocolate notes in the pleasantly fruity aroma, typical of the grape variety, juicy and persistent flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano is impossible to ignore, with a sweetly scented bouquet of violets, lavender, allspice and wild blueberries. This is soft and supple with ripe wild berry fruits and juicy acidity. It leaves a coating of gentle tannins and a blackberry flourish, tapering off mildly spicy and with medium length." Vinous

"Spicy and fresh red wine with notes of mushrooms, white pepper and red berries. Clean, medium-bodied and slightly grippy." James Suckling

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

This Sicilian cuvée is beautifully textured, harmonious and rich. The aroma is seductive of honeydew melon, banana and herbs with a crisp freshness. A remarkable dry white wine with a good balance between acidity and fruit and of persistent persistence. Very good value. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is attractive with aromas of peaches, sliced apples, savory herbs and flowers on offer, following through to a medium body with vivid acidity and generous and ripe fruit. Layered and concentrated. Delicious with some spicy herb undertones in the finish." James Suckling

Ripe fruit-scented Primitivo di Manduria, whose fruit is perfectly matched to the amount of wood and whose dense flavour ends with pleasant cocoa notes. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fresh and simple primitivo with red-plum and raspberry aromas and flavors. Medium body with light but tight tannins adding a touch of firmness to the finish." James Suckling

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

Pure Montepulciano from the San Lorenzo vineyard: garnet red in colour with almost black reflections. Sweet autumnal spices, mint and cedar wood on the nose before revealing its core of medicinal cherry. Silky and smooth on the palate, it delights with its ripe red and blue fruits, while the tannins slowly build up towards the end. In the long and lightly structured final, notes of tangerine mingle with blueberry peel and chalky minerals. San Lorenzo is incredibly pretty and has a beautiful harmony and balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh damsons and berries on the nose, together with a twist of orange peel and some pungent spice. Medium-bodied with a tight bead of fruit and lightly firm tannins. Nice." 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

Delightful drinking pleasure from organically certified cultivation at a sensational price! The dark and incredibly dense Rosso Piceno smells slightly sweet of berries with hints of plum. Its powerful consistency is supported by juicy, very soft tannins. A wine full of character and its own. SUPERIORE.DE

The Lucchine is rich and firm with beautiful cherry fruit and sweet spices on the palate. A juicy and inexpensive wine from a good vineyard that gives us great pleasure every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"The only Valpolicella without oak. This wine resembles a more mature Bardolino or, to put it this way, a Venetian Beaujolais, as it is so lively and vibrant. Light and juicy, with a thread of crisp acidity that carries sour red fruits, plums and dried herbs long and easy. Delicious! One of the best young Valpolicella I've tasted in a while." James Suckling

"On the nose, this wine shines with aromas of fresh rose and violet, with hints of strawberries and cranberries in the background. On the palate, the tart red berries shine with a hint of pepper and fresh earth." Wine Enthusiast

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

Brigaldara's Valpolicella is mainly made from Corvina and Corvinone grapes. The timing of the harvest is very important for this wine, so that its flavours are very delicate and its sensory balance is influenced by the precisely measured acidity. It expresses the characteristic flavours of the valley: from cherries to spicy notes, which are more or less pronounced depending on the vintage. Its beautiful and radiant balance is achieved by a short maturation in steel, which perfectly enhances its sensory characteristics. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine is a classic example of Valpolicella with aromas of fresh raspberries and dried cranberries mixed with thyme, sage and forest floor leading to a lively palate. Driven by sour cherries, the palate is indulgent and generous, and the more it opens up, the more spicy and floral notes add complexity." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2022 Valpolicella is wonderfully fresh, with a gorgeous blend of violets and roses giving way to muddled blackberries and an air of crushed chalk. Incredibly pure, this flows across the palate with a juicy wave of ripe wild berry fruits. It finishes crisp, with a tart cranberry concentration and inner florals that linger on." Vinous

Brilliant ruby colour with a dense rim. Delicately scented with plum jam, cherry, black pepper, violets and gingerbread. Also soft on the palate, with notes of nuts, sultanas and lovely juicy fruit. A real flatterer, wonderfully balanced with great drinking flow, and one of our bestsellers for years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Macerated red and blue fruit sprinkled with fresh and dried herbs waft from the glass of this classic Valpolicella. A balanced palate highlights a core of warmed ripe cherries, thyme and fresh tobacco that finish with ripe and gentle tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Super-clean aromas of spicy red fruit and perfumed oak follow through to a medium-bodied palate with well-integrated tannins and a well-ordered finish. All nicely in place." James Suckling

La Villa is a casual feminine Barbera d'Asti that smells of ripe red fruits, flowers and spices. Round and focused on the palate with a silky texture and good length. This is what price-performance looks like in an ideal case! SUPERIORE.DE

"Ripe dark cherries and blueberries with notes of dried flowers, cocoa and sandalwood. Medium-bodied with a smooth, red-fruited palate. Lively acidity and a flavourful, structured finish." James Suckling

The "white queen of Navarre" gave her name to this wine. The grapes come from Alcamo from clayey vineyards at an altitude of 350 metres. Pale yellow to straw yellow colour. Refreshing aroma of citrus fruits and apple zest. It is always amazing how clearly contoured and mineral wines come from the hottest part of Italy. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby with violet reflections. Round bouquet of elderberries, blueberry muffins and dried spices. Well structured on the palate with a well-proportioned body, beautiful ripe tannins and a hint of delicate almond tones in the round final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Notes of ripe dark and blue berries with chocolate, dark licorice and a touch of mushroom. Medium-bodied with dusty tannins and succulent dark fruit in the middle. Juicy finish." James Suckling

Impenetrable dark colour and warm bouquet of ripe dark fruits with hints of forest floor. The Cantalupi's dose of wood is perfectly balanced with the fruit. An extremely harmonious wine with cocoa and vanilla notes in the soft, dense taste. Very respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich black fruit with some dried dates, dark chocolate and bitter spices. Full body on the palate with lovely richness and dryness. Firm, chewy tannins and a paucity of fruit sweetness. Fine bitterness in the flavorful finish." James Suckling

Cala Silente is a pearl among Santadi's white wines. This pure Vermentino with a complex bouquet of fresh butter, citrus fruits and white flowers has an enormously rich extract in the flavour and increases in harmony and grace, with salty and peppery notes on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose of this wine is restrained, offering grapefruit, lime, lots of freshly cut grass and finally a hint of white pepper. Grapefruit and lime continue on the palate, with a hint of lemon glaze and a bold spiciness that complements the savoury, peppery overtones." Wine Enthusiast

"Lithe and well-cut, this delicate, mineral-driven white shows yellow apple and lemon sorbet notes, plus rich hints of macadamia nut." Wine Spectator
