Luca Maroni

The Chianti Colli Senesi from Fattoria del Cerro is a dark, lively wine with beautiful fruit, minerality and leather aromas on the nose. Pleasantly round and balanced on the palate. A drinkable wine with a certain demand. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of raspberry, lavender, burnt lemon and dried oregano. It’s light-to medium-bodied with fine tannins and crisp acidity. Zesty and crunchy." James Suckling

Even with the entry-level wine, Morisfarms does not deviate a bit from its usual quality standard, which has delighted us with its consistency for over 10 years now. Freshness and relaxed drinkability are the strengths of the Rosso Maremma with its earthy fruit bouquet of cherry and plum and its spicy notes in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

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

A successful Rosato is the aromatic Tre Torri with a spicy-intense taste and the pleasantly fresh aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

Passerina is a widespread autochthonous grape variety, especially in Abruzzo or Marche, which has awakened from its slumber in recent years. Pale yellow, fresh citrus bouquet with exotic notes and equipped with a nice acid structure, it is an always reliable companion of the Mediterranean cuisine and also a joyful pleasure solo. SUPERIORE.DE

Typical Vitiano: Its colour is strong ruby red and aromas of cherries and berries flow into the nose. The taste beautifully distinct, as we know it, in the foreground wonderfully fresh cherry tones with an aromatic vanilla note. The youngest Vitiano also has an excellent structure and fine tannins. Today already round, full-bodied, juicy and with long-lasting fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

The Grotta Rossa clearly embodies its terroir. The clean, powerful bouquet is reminiscent of ripe berries and cherries. On the palate, the tannin melds excellently with the acidity before the soft finish sets in. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intriguing nose of blueberry and blood orange. Soft palate, with ripe and light extraction, juicy fruit with cherry and cassis." Decanter

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

A harmonious all-rounder of Vermentino and Verdicchio. Light golden yellow, a rich fruit bouquet with mineral aromas on the nose. Beautifully juicy and very animating on the palate with a fresh core of white flowers as well as minerals, plus hints of pear and lime with a fine acid structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sweet peach and melon mix with savory herbs as the 2020 Vitiano Bianco opens in the glass. This is soft and pliant in feel with a balanced display of ripe orchard fruits and salty mineral tones. Zesty acids keep the mouth watering for more, as the Vitiano Bianco tapers off with unexpected length and a spicy citrus flourish." Vinous

Pure Nero d'Avola, named after Lago di Disueri, a lake in the province of Caltanissetta in the middle of Sicily. Deep dark red, intensely fragrant of dark fruits with a hint of eucalyptus. Powerful and round on the palate, supple and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"There's a smoky, inky feel to the intense black-plum and berry aromas here. Full, round and compact with lots of fruity flavor and fine but firm, rather sticky tannin. Hint of chocolate at the end." James Suckling

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

Chianti Biskero by Salcheto is a juicy, open and cheerful drop. Black cherries and plums merge with sweet spices and dark, earthy notes. SUPERIORE.DE

This white Re Manfredi, made from Müller-Thurgau and Gewürztraminer, is exceptional and outstandingly successful. Iridescent straw yellow with a beguiling apricot and rose scent. The well-structured, fresh taste is full-bodied, aromatic and spicy. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense violet in the glass. The bouquet of smoke, spices with traces of liquorice. Taut on the palate, then opening and a mouthful of wine with everything the wine lover's heart desires when thinking of Puglia: harmony, fresh fruit and animating acidity, plus fine extract sweetness and well-wrought tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep ruby red colour with violet hues. Clean, intense and persistent on the nose, with notes of red fruits, blackberries and sour cherries. Full and fruity on the palate, with notes of tobacco and liquorice on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Enticing nose of brambleberries, dried flowers and a light, bitter-orange note, following through to a lightly firm, medium-bodied palate with good fruit and balance." James Suckling

Intense, violet ruby red, explosive bouquet with notes of dark red fruits, toasted aromas and lightly of graphite. Densely packed on the palate with a wonderful balance between ripe fruit and mineral solidity. SUPERIORE.DE

Cherry-red Valpolicella with a pleasantly light scent of currants and raspberries. Very harmonious and discreet on the palate, velvety and fruity on the finish. An ideal accompaniment to food, due to its slender character also good for lunch. SUPERIORE.DE

"A smoky mix of raspberry preserves, sage and freshly cracked pepper waft up from the 2020 Valpolicella Nanfre'. This is silky in texture and decidedly savory, repleting the pepper notes from the bouquet that mix with salty minerals and brisk acids, yet I’m craving more freshness. It finishes long and staining, only lightly structured with hints of licorice." Vinous

"Aromas of fresh red cherries and berries, as well as a lightly earthy, nutty note, which develops into a caramelly flavor on the palate that, together with the persistent fruit and lightly firm tannin, gives a very nice, creamy-fruit finish with good length. Delicious, young Valpo." James Suckling
