A nuanced bouquet of yellow fruits, which constantly exudes new facets and aromas 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

"Delicate straw yellow. In the nose a discreet citrus note, a hint of nutmeg, white pepper and white flowers. Delicately melting on the palate, with a creamy touch, slightly salty mid-palate, minimal bitterness in the fruit on the final." Falstaff

"White peaches, white pears, a touch of jasmine. Light fruit, light florals, and a wine that is the perfect white canvas to bright, sea-salt-sunshine-sculpted foods." Jancis Robinson

"The 2020 Nuragus di Cagliari Pedraia lifts up to show dusty florals, lime zest and crushed raw almonds. It's soft and round in texture as well as pleasantly sweet, offering notes of ripe nectarine, kiwi and a zing of gingery spice. Tropical fruits resonate throughout the finale as residual acids slowly fizzle out. This is simply a pleasure to taste." Vinous

Intense aroma of ripe, fleshy red fruits, elderberries and roasted coffee. Warm, enveloping and full-bodied, unfolds with a lot of fruit melting and soft tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very light nose. pepcranberry fruit slashed with sorrel-leaf greens. Cheeky bitterness. Nippy builder's-brew astringency on wiry little tannins. This is fun! I could just imagine this, very slightly chilled, with a bowl of fregola con arselle, or, if you're far from Sardinian shores, a chilli and tomato pasta with loads of fresh olive oil and fresh basil leaves. Surprisingly thirst-quenching." Jancis Robinson

The Carignano and Sangiovese grapes for the Araja come from red, sandy soils from the coastal region. Ruby red with a lush aroma of fruit, light spicy notes and chocolate. The taste is extremely soft and dense with very fine and elegant tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very ripe, bright plums, smoke and cocoa nose. Gorgeous on the mid palate, ripe and herby and succulent. Sappy, grippy tannins that rub the fruit up just the right way." Jancis Robinson

An elementary part of the Piedmontese drinking culture and probably one of the most underestimated wines in Italy: Light ruby red (with cherry-red foam), the clearly effervescent Brachetto d'Acqui presents itself. The bouquet is very aromatic with notes of nutmeg, rose and violets. The taste is extremely elegant, reminiscent of strawberries, round and finely balanced between mild sweetness and fruity, very refreshing astringency. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright purple, silver reflections, lush bouquet on the nose, notes of ripe red berries and roses. Juicy on the palate, silky texture, delicate and delicately tingling taste, fine sweetness underpinned with salty minerality on the finish. At 5.5%, a tremendously light-footed drinking pleasure." Falstaff

"Palest ruby. Perfumed, sweet, flowery nose of wild strawberry, raspberry and with a hint of rose petals and spice. Sweet yet fresh, medium-sweet strawberry fruit palate. Perfect for elevenses or a pick-me-up during the day." Jancis Robinson

Dark, strong ruby. Opulent bouquet of sweet cherry, blackberries and plums. Full and juicy body with a present fruit, soft, finely woven tannins and a medium-bodied, almost elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling ruby. In the nose notes of sour cherry and plum, in the background some cut apple. Clear and straightforward on the palate, juicy fruit, grippy tannin." Falstaff

"Deep ruby. Inviting open-knit concentrated black-cherry nose with top notes of laurel and mace. Succulent and tangy and full and with fine tannic grip. Long and delicious." Jancis Robinson

"A red with plum and dark-chocolate aromas that follow through to a medium body, with creamy tannins and a savory finish. Some mushroom and earth undertones." James Suckling

"Intense soft cherry and black cherry nose with cedar notes and complex mineral nuances. Ripe tannins supported by a lively acidity." Decanter

Out with the cliché, in with the surprise! The Paltrinieris' most famous Lambrusco growth will also fill every connoisseur with joy. Radice is produced using the Pét Nat method (Metodo Ancestrale) and therefore undergoes a second fermentation on its own yeast after bottling.

This naturally cloudy, dry Frizzante already convinces in the bouquet with notes of rhubarb, a fresh citrus note and a little bread. The persistent, fine perlage and its drinky nature make it a racy companion to hearty, spicy antipasti, light meat dishes or simply an upbeat celebration surrounded by nature and happy people. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cloudy orange. In the nose yeast, lemon juice, in the reverberation even blossom honey. On the palate, very straightforward, steely, with prominent acidity and tightly meshed perlage, bone dry, accompanies supreme drinking pleasure with oily salumi." Falstaff

"Pet-nat style of Lambrusco. Cloudy guava pink. Smells of dried rose buds, marshmallows, Turkish delight, blood orange. Bone, bone dry. Like the crunch of French breakfast radishes served with bitter orange and sour cherry. Herbal. Super-tart but wonderfully refreshing. Needs some fatty fennel-and-truffle salami to go with it!" Jancis Robinson

"The 2020 Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice presents a savory display of dusty rose, ginger and sour melon. It's silky-smooth and textural, as a tug-of-war between sweet and sour plays out upon the senses. Minerals, tart apples, wild herbs and spices resonate throughout, as this finishes long yet with cheek-puckering freshness. The decidedly dry Radice is made from the Sorbara grape, which is re-fermented to dryness in bottle, creating a frizzante style." Vinous

Moscato d'Asti is an important part of the culinary tradition in Piedmont. A bright wine full of purity and natural liveliness for festive and joyful moments. straw yellow with green hints, expressive aromas of sage, exotic fruits, apricot and peach. Delicately melting taste, the persistent perlage flatters the palate. A fresh, cheerful wine experience! SUPERIORE.DE

"Grape juice! Yes, there it is, in full display. Elderflower and honey too. Soft and quaffable, with wonderfully unfashionable sweetness. Perhaps there's not enough vinosity for many, but any self-respecting hedonist surely can't resist." Jancis Robinson

Fine, lean and racy Chianti Classico from organic cultivation - and one of our special favourites for over 15 years. Engaging aromatics, dense, firm body, deep and juicy, with well-defined tannins and a fresh and appetising finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Youthful mid crimson. Crushed stones and raspberry on the nose and stony raspberry fruit with firm tannins on the palate. Ends almost a little mouth-watering. Confirms its trademark as an elegant wine." Jancis Robinson

"A very typical and beautiful Chianti Classico with cherry, burnt-orange and polished-wood aromas that follow through to a full body with round tannins and a fresh, vivid finish." James Suckling

Rich, dark shimmering ruby. Open-hearted, dense bouquet of blackberries, plums and a delicate hint of cloves in the background. Juicy on the palate, shows supple tannin, spreads nicely. Every year a great Chianti Classico with an exemplary price-quality ratio. SUPERIORE.DE

"Transparent garnet. Tangy and classic Sangiovese in which freshness of fruit overwhelms the fine tannin. Very appetising. A commendable standard-bearer. Some richness offsets the acidity." Jancis Robinson

"Once again, Brolio delivers a highly satisfying glass of Chianti Classico from the estate's expansive vineyards in Gaiole. The 2019 is balsamic in personality with scents of cedar, thyme and rosemary weaving through dark cherry. Velvety, powdery tannins provide a gentle, structural grip, while crunchy, citrussy acidity cleanses the mouth." Decanter

"A succulent, fruity red with dried-cherry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. It's medium-to full-bodied with fine yet round tannins and a juicy, fruity finish." James Suckling

Bright yellow-green. Ripe peaches, apricots, minerals, smoke, nougat and honey closely interwoven in the aroma. Beautifully proportioned, intense, creamy, yet with a beautiful lightness and elegance on the palate, in which the barrel wood is masterfully integrated. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense straw yellow. A little richer and more voluminous on the nose than the Vecchie Vigne of the same vintage. Ripe quince and mandarin with a suggestion of honeycomb and breadcrumbs. Lemon and mandarin fruit that is a little racy and with a savoury minerally and orange-pith notes on the finish. Great length." Jancis Robinson

"Acacia, straw, honey and fresh hazelnut nose. Peachy fruit, tangy grapefruit and melon skin on the palate. Racy acidity." Decanter

"Some bright citrus character, together with softening, light vanilla spice. Medium body with solid balance, but a little reserved at the end. Try in a year or two." James Suckling

The small Maso Michei vineyard owned by Martin Foradori supplies the strictly selected grapes for this great Müller Thurgau. The vineyards at an altitude of over 800m have an ideal southern exposure and, with their special microclimate, provide the grapes for a wine of great aromatic depth, which rightly belongs to the best representatives of its grape variety from the Dolomite region. It is only released on the market after a further 12 months of ageing in the bottle and is only produced in the best vintages.

Intense light yellow. Fresh fruits on the nose, including green apple and bitter orange, lime blossom and the notes of nutmeg typical of the grape variety. Fresh on the palate, equipped with a lively fruit-acid play, this wine presents itself with a finesse that convinces us completely. SUPERIORE.DE

"Straw yellow. Fresh nose with aromatic pear notes and mandarin pith. Gentle and not hugely intense pear and mandarin palate. The moderate acidity strikes a good balance. Fragrant, fresh finish. Appetising aperitif style." Jancis Robinson

The Chianti Classico with the blue label is a solid, well-balanced wine with a lot of personality. Black cherry, blackberry and spice tones on the nose. Immediate and straightforward on the palate, with dark fruit and firm tannins. Straightforward drinking pleasure at a high level! SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark crimson with a ruby rim. Lovely lift, with a strangely but agreeably fishy note on the nose! Really convincing wine with a beginning, middle and end. Real vitality. Strangely, despite the high elevation, this seems denser than most of its peers. Long. Just so agreeable and appetising. Hint of chestnut." Jancis Robinson

Lively ruby with light violet reflections, rich fruity aromas on the nose, very typical of wild berries and sour cherries. Fresh, balanced and well-structured on the palate, with silky tannins and spicy accents. A classic of the appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lustrous crimson. Concentrated cherry fruit with a hint of leather, saline minerally notes and a suggestion of oak. Racy concentrated cherry fruit layered with fine, grainy tannins. Mouth-watering and almost a little tart and with a long fragrant raspberry and dark-spice finish." Jancis Robinson

"Plums, spices, mushrooms and dried herbs on the nose. It's full-bodied with fine tannins. Juicy and textured with tangy acidity and spicy character. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"Owner Marco Ricasoli recalls the harvest of 2019 as unusually calm - one of the few in which he didn't have to base his picking strategy on the weather forecast. While his wines never lack freshness, the 2019 is positively racy! Scents of blackberry and fennel are interlaced with smoke, and the palate brings together brambly fruit with fleshy red plum. This is mouthfilling and clean, with ripe, smooth tannins that are chalky textured - plus all of that vibrant acidity." Decanter

"The 2019 Chianti Classico is an elegant, polished wine. Lifted aromatics, silky tannins and mid-weight structure give the 2019 its gracious personality. In 2019, the Chianti Classico is a bit restrained and less overt than it can be. That means it needs time in bottle to truly blossom. I would cellar the 2019 for at least a few years. The 2019 is so distinctive." Vinous

Chianti Classico Vallenuova has the potential to become a favourite wine. It is the archetypal expression of Sangiovese from a single vineyard, which could not be more typical and authentic. Lively, sparkling ruby, a little cedar and small wild berries on the nose, along with spices, beetroot and white pepper. On the palate, leather, tobacco and a hint of citrus fruit, in the final it presents itself pleasantly lean with a convincing, drinkable freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Serious, intense, many-layered nose. Very savoury and dense with great construction. Long and interesting with admirable depth. Hugely impressive wine. Very clean, fresh finish." Jancis Robinson

"A fresh, tangy Chianti Classico with red berries and hints of orange peel. Medium body and a crisp finish." James Suckling

Open-hearted, very appealing bouquet of tart berry fruit, forest floor, bitter almond, blue flowers and grilled herb spice. On the palate with the typical Sangiovese profile of bright red berries, with wonderfully integrated acidity and freshness. A classic every year and unbeatable with light meat dishes and sugos. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid crimson. Heady, deep cherry nose with hints of oak. Polished tangy cherry fruit with subtle oak notes and finely chiselled tannins. Long sour-cherry fruit on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"An unctuous Chianti Classico with black-cherry and dark-chocolate aromas and flavors. It's medium-to full-bodied with round tannins and a delicious finish. Plenty of juicy-fruit flavors at the end." James Suckling

"Dark forest fruits aromas with notes of leather and clove and hints of earth. Firm grippy tannins in the mouth with a fresh finish." Decanter

Classic Chianti Classico from stainless steel tanks with a rich and intense bouquet of black cherries, fresh plums, menthol and liquorice. Full-bodied on the palate, but not voluminous, very Sangiovese-typical. Clearly structured, of pure texture and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Transparent garnet. That floral note on the nose again, followed by real Sangiovese edginess and energy. Lots of drive. Persistent." Jancis Robinson

"As always with Brancaia's Chianti Classicos, this brings together fruit from the estate's original holdings in Castellina with grapes from its Radda property. The 2019 really expresses the high altitude, cooler microclimate of the latter with fragrant florals, fresh mint and crisp red berries. It is vibrant, fluid and quenching in its acidity, while dusty red cherry and fine chalky tannins add intrigue. I love the purity of this 100% unoaked Sangiovese." Decanter

"A beautiful Chianti Classico with blackberry, black-cherry and light chocolate character. Medium to full body, round and polished tannins and a long finish. So delicious now." James Suckling

Sangiovese in pure culture: Radiant ruby red. Rich in fruity-floral aromas, multi-layered, herbaceous, deep and of good polish with further development potential. A full-bodied and harmonious Chianti-Classico of the most authentic kind. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby. Distinct chalky cherry nose with leafy green hints. Light of touch on the palate with lively raspberry and tangy cherry fruit and with chewy tannins on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"This is lively, its cherry, strawberry and orange peel flavors picking up earth and woodsy accents. Firm tannins sweep in on the finish, yet this stays fresh and long." Wine Spectator

"One of the best vantage points for drinking Chianti Classico is at the entry level. A wine like the Fèlsina 2019 Chianti Classico Berardenga offers so much freshness and cheerful, easy-drinking appeal. It's a terrific partner to pizza, pasta or basically anything on the trattoria menu tonight. This wine shows bright cherry flavors and redcurrant with pressed flowers and some tangy blood orange. It is steady and generous, with lots of bright primary intensity." Robert Parker

"At the southeastern limit of Chianti Classico, Fèlsina's expansive vineyards look towards Montalcino. The annata is assembled from various parcels rising from 320 to 420 metres on rocky calcareous soil with layers of sandstone. As usual, it is more earthy than fruity, bringing in evocative accents of violet, liquorice and pepper. The palate is superbly textured with fine, grainy tannins providing a sensuous grip. Dark fruited and tangy with admirable depth, it will drink well now and over the next decade. Finishes with a sprinkle of cinnamon." Decanter

"A beautiful, creamy red with cherry and chocolate character. Hints of dried earth. It's medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. shows firmness and tension. Very drinkable now, but will improve beautifully with age." James Suckling

"The 2019 Chianti Classico Berardenga is a classic wine for the year. Bright, perfumed and light on its feet, the 2019 Chianti Classico Berardenga is so wonderfully expressive. There is a feeling of vibrancy to the 2019 that is hugely appealing. A wine of energy more than power. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon linger in a gorgeous Chianti Classico that is more about transparency than power." Vinous

A dark berry, radiant Montepulciano in a rich, dark garnet red. Cassis, blueberry and ripe wild raspberry on the nose. Opens on the palate with grippy tannin, juicy, powerful, savoury-spicy course. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep lustrous ruby. Savoury-sweet oak nose with brooding dark fruit and hints of meat. The oak takes a big step back on the palate only adding a light dustiness to the cherry fruit. Bitter-sweet, powdery tannins add depth and soft grip to the fruit on the juicy finish. An international mould, which it more than manages to rise above." Jancis Robinson

"Aromas of sour cherry, blackcurrant, lemon zest, bark and licorice. It's medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Chewy and savory with a spiced finish." James Suckling

"This is a highly recognized wine that enjoys its own special following in Italy and beyond. The 2016 Conero Riserva Cúmaro is a pure expression of Montepulciano from the Conero bluffs that dip into the Adriatic Sea on a small promontory where sunshine and sea breezes caress the vines. This wine is stacked tall and wide with dark fruit, sweet spice and cured tobacco. The wine is beautifully balanced, full and ripe. A classic Marchigiano lamb roast would pair nicely here." Robert Parker

Floral aromas and the scent of bright red fruits, with undertones of tobacco, foliage and menthol, which develop in the glass into a successful terroir wine that preserves the fragrance and primary aromas of the young Sangiovese. Pleasantly medium-bodied and authentic. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep, youthful ruby. Balsamic cherry nose with hints of tobacco leaf and cherry liqueur. Succulent ripe cherry fruit with tangy acidity and quite firm tannins - they are the give-away of the torrid 2017 vintage, but nothing else. Great length and depth." Jancis Robinson

"Made with organically farmed Sangiovese, this opens with subtle aromas of black-skinned berry, scorched earth and cooking spice. The savory palate offers black cherry, clove and tobacco alongside fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Le Cinciole's latest release, the 2017 offers tremendous freshness with beautiful restraint. After ageing for one year in 20hL French oak, this refines for a further 12 months in cement before bottling. It is slightly wilder and decidedly darker in its nuances than the 2016, with enticing lavender, black cherry, liquorice and a touch of leather. The palate is fairly dense, with appropriately grippy tannins lending support. It leaves the mouth clean, refreshed and satisfied." Decanter

"Rich cherries and berries on the nose with hints of fresh oak and sage-like herbs, following through to a fullish palate with plump fruit, quite firm tannins and a bright mineral finish." James Suckling

"The 2017 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous, inviting wine. Pliant fruit and soft contours give the 2017 so much immediacy and appeal. Silky tannins wrap around a core of dark red cherry while spice, new leather and sweet pipe tobacco infuse the 2017 with tremendous character. The 2017 is such a beautiful and inviting wine. Wow!" Vinous

Le Difese is one of the most beautiful price-quality wonders of Tuscany. Magnificent, sweetly perfumed fruit aromas in the opulent bouquet, just as generous and wide the long-lasting taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a sparkling core. A hint of reduction on the nose, opens with air on cherries, cinnamon sticks, wild strawberries and bright spice notes. Clear and juicy on the palate, showing good drinkability, pithy salty tannin underpins the final." Falstaff

"Surprisingly pale - more Pinot-like than a Cabernet blend! A sweet-sour red-cherry fruit profile, with a notable herbal edge, perhaps reflecting the higher Sangiovese proportion than 2018. On swirling, some cassis joins the party and there's a background woody, cinnamon note. That sweet-sour sense comes through on the palate too, with a ripeness of red cherry and strawberry cut through with acidity. Pretty fine-grained, powdery tannins that are more refined than previous Le Difese vintages I have tasted. A touch of alcohol on the finish, but overall an enjoyable, perfumed red." Jancis Robinson

"Made with 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Sangiovese, this has enticing aromas of cassis, black tea, violet and wild herbs. Savory and elegantly structured, the medium-bodied palate shows ripe blackberry, star anise and a hint of coffee bean framed in lithe, polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced." Wine Enthusiast

A beautiful traditional wine of the Chianti Classico. The bouquet of wild berries, undergrowth, herbs and spices is broad and multi-faceted, the full flavour with beautiful energy, fidelity to the terroir and considerable persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, rich ruby. Fragrant, floral nose of roses and violets, then fresh wild berries, red currants, delicate spice. Dense and supple in the mouth, spreads out nicely, polished and with juicy tannin, firm pressure in the finish." Falstaff

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Subtle, fine nose of red fruit and stones. Elegant, sappy red fruit and bags of jagged tannins that demand more time in the bottle. Its elegance, freshness and firm structure set it up for graceful ageing." Jancis Robinson

"The Castello di Radda 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva shows a ripe and nicely concentrated approach with sweet cherry, wild raspberry, crushed stone and grilled herb. This is a lean to mid-weight wine with the calming freshness and vitality that should be expected of Sangiovese from this prized corner of the Chianti Classico appellation." Robert Parker

"A soft, fruity red with aromas and flavors of dried cherries and orange peel. Medium to full body. Tangy and delicious. Shows the richness and ripeness of the vintage." James Suckling

"Dappled scents of fresh florals, autumn leaves and lovely tapered fruit with refined tannins and a long, poised finish." Decanter

Sparkling ruby with a pronounced garnet shimmer. Very inviting aroma of cherries and delicate meadow herbs, with a nutty touch. Medium-bodied on the palate, again wonderfully juicy fruit, cool, mineral style, very finely structured and balanced, with lively animo, lingers quite long and makes you want to drink the next glass. Perfect companion to Italian dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Just mid ruby. Lifted, sweetly spiced raspberry nose with hints of black pepper and malt. Gentle raspberry fruit with a nervy tangy vein. There is a sense of richness and intensity but without being heavy. Explosive juiciness. Coating tannins build a perfect unity with the masses of raspberry fruit on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"Plenty of fresh berries, cherries and some plums. Medium-bodied with round tannins and a tangy, orange-peel aftertaste. Lovely intensity and brightness with hints of sandalwood and cherries." James Suckling

"Sean O'Callaghan is a passionate, obsessed and intensely faithful producer of Sangiovese. He sees the same potential in it as in Nebbiolo or Pinot Noir, and this Chianti Classico is as exquisite as the top wines made from those other noble grapes. Intriguing perfume, both elegant and spicy. The flavours, though pure and brilliant, are somewhat overshadowed by the structure and texture. It is so seamless, with such expert tailoring that it glides, soars even, over the palate. Very fine." Decanter

"The 2018 Chianti Classico is full of character. A dollop (10%) of whole clusters add striking aromatic presence to the Sangiovese fruit. Deceptive in its mid-weight style, the Classico delivers tons of punchiness and flavor intensity, with the structure to develop beautifully in bottle for many years to come. The 2018 spent a whopping two months on the skins and was aged for 18 months in stainless steel and cement." Vinous
