Guide l'Espresso

Amber in colour and glossy, a grandiose scent of honey, caramel and citrus, wide on the palate and perfectly balanced by a brilliant acid reader. Deep and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Can be enjoyed now and will last forever and ever." Sean O'Callaghan (Riecine)

"Tawny brown. Gorgeous tangy aroma of reduced apricots and bitter orange. Like a vin santo in its glorious intensity but with a cool pure apricot freshness. Glorious in its fresh bitter-sweet concentration." Jancis Robinson

Focus bewitches with an elegant scent of red fruits and warm, balsamic tones. The fresh taste is characterized by the typical spice and the lively tannins of a high-quality Merlot of the Colli Orientali. SUPERIORE.DE

Elegant and aromatically versatile bouquet of almonds, light fruits and citrus tones, absolutely harmonious, complex and stylistically clear in taste. A noble Riserva of highest quality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale lemon-yellow color. Very ripe yet vibrant nose offers scents of mirabelle, apple, marzipan, crushed stone, vanilla, licorice, cumin and white flowers. Rich and broad on entry, then explosive in the middle palate, saturating the mouth without leaving any impression of undue weight. Lively flavors of ripe apple pie, flowers and sweet spices are sharpened and lifted by penetrating acidity. This really expands to coat the palate and front teeth. I don't recall too many better Verdicchio wines - or even Italian white wines for that matter - than this one." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"From a great family estate, this riserva is made from late harvest grapes. Layers of fruit, beautifully structured – very sexy!" Decanter

Pepper and spice accents, aromas of ripe red and dark fruits and a slightly animal note characterise the precise fragrance. The perfect balance between tannin, silky elements and acidity guarantees a taste full of character and pleasing at the same time. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fontodi's 2012 Syrah Case Via is inky, powerful and racy, with plenty of blue/purplish fruit, violet and spice overtones. Although not especially varietal, the 2012 offers plenty of appeal in its bold, full-throttle personality." Antonio Galloni

"A meaty red, sporting black pepper, blackberry and bacon fat notes. Intense and well-balanced, leaving an aftertaste of bittersweet chocolate." Wine Spectator

"Beautiful aromas of meat, blueberries and minerals follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a peppery, spicy and glorious finish." James Suckling

Ruby red, with a fine cherry scent, in which there are also hints of nuts and wild berries, vanilla, cinnamon, sage and tobacco. Concentrated, rich taste with harmonious tannins and long aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich, deep, dark ruby. Opened in the nose with intense spicy notes, lemon leaves, followed by fresh cherry and plum, fine spices. Juicy and round in the base and course, a lot of ripe berry fruit, especially raspberry, fine elegance, fine-meshed tannin, long aftertaste." Falstaff

"Bright ruby-red. Dark berries, spicy licorice and sweet herbs on the perfumed nose. Rich, round and very suave in the mouth, offering dark cherry and licorice flavors complicated by tobacco, minerals and flint. Finishes very smooth and long, with intriguing hints of camphor and aromatic herbs. Very politely styled Rosso del Conte." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Excellent aromas of dried fruit, blackberries and tar. Full-bodied with chewy tannins but polished and fine. A dense, fresh red with a grilled-meat and dark-fruit aftertaste." James Suckling

Avvoltore is a fantastically elegant Sangiovese refined with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Deep dark and with a grandiose bouquet, strongly fruity with light spicy and vegetarian hints, it tastes concentrated and soft at the same time. The brilliant finale is highly individual and stirring. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dense and deep ruby. Very intense and inviting nose, opened with notes of blackberry and mulberry, in the background fresh notes of orange peel, playful. On the palate much strong tannin, dense and interwoven in the anterior part, slightly coarse and slightly drying in the posterior part, still needs storage". Falstaff

"Blackberry jam, cassis, mint, licorice, violets and dark spices hit the palate in the 2012 Avvoltore. A huge, inky wine, the 2012 possesses tons of depth, with just enough vibrancy and freshness to balance the overtness of the vintage. Unapologetically rich and intense, the 2012 delivers the goods, big time. What a gorgeous wine this is." Antonio Galloni

Fresh white from old vines with an invigorating citrus scent, rich in tropical fruits, firm and firm, with an elegant mineral note on the palate and high complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Scented with flowers, also mango and mint notes; mineral-salty course, animated by the acidity, combined polish and length. Vinum

"Pale gold. Heady, peachy tones, with rich, creamy, toasted almond, over some smokiness and spice – attractive nose. Crisp but rounded, with some honeyed maturity to the smoky, nutty, lean lemon palate. Long." Jancis Robinson

"The 2016 Etna Bianco Arcurìa shows a layered bouquet with ripe fruit, stone fruit and candied lemon. This vintage seems to have produced a creamier, slightly heavier style. The mouthfeel is moderate in length with medium acidity on the close." Robert Parker

This top Barolo comes from the enchanting Corda della Briccolina parcel in Serralunga d'Alba and is the only one of the stately Barolo squad of the house to be aged in barriques. Garnet red with the bewitching scent of rose petals, rock candy, caramel and dried fruit. On the palate powerful, solemn and nicely tannin-heavy, long and harmonious in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This opens with aromas of intense underbrush, tobacco leaf, leather, and roasted coffee bean. The palate offers up black cherry accented with nutmeg, dried sage, espresso and mocha alongside compact tannins that leave a drying finish."Wine Enthusiast

"Plenty of strawberries, flowers and grilled meats on the nose. Medium body, spicy and dried-fruit character with a hint of walnuts. Succulent finish."James Suckling
