“Sallier de la Tour” Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC 2021
The Sallier de la Tour winery has been owned by the Counts Tasca since 2009, making it the fifth winery that complements and characterises the diversity and professionalism of what is probably Sicily's most famous winery. Deep dark red, spices and a fine note of liquorice on the nose. Beautiful classic fruit and freshness on the palate, the discreet use of wood gives it concentration, backbone, velvety elegance and a good future. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark red; intense, discreetly volatile fruit, raspberries, violets, rubber, inviting; juicy, fresh fruit, finely tart, drinky, round and balanced, very pleasing." (JLF) Merum
"In the glass, the Nero d'Avola 2021 is dark and somewhat reductive. It opens with a forest-inspired blend of wild berries and peppery herbs. It is soft and enveloping with ripe red and blue fruits swirling under a hint of violet blossom. It leaves a hint of primary concentration and finishes grippy and long while retaining a lovely inner freshness. This wine has potential, but the 2021 will need cellaring to come into its own."

Lambrusco Metodo Ancestrale dell’Emilia IGT secco
Metodo Ancestrale (also called Pet Nat) is a natural form of fermentation in the bottle, but without the addition of a dosage. This second fermentation in the bottle stops automatically due to the natural consumption of oxygen. The wine is not shaken and then disgorged as in the Champagne process, but is usually put on sale on its lees.
Dark pink with purple reflections. On the nose, ripe raspberries with a delicate note of elderberries. On the palate, the taut acid structure combined with precise fruit components such as raspberry, cassis, sloe and a hint of citrus are convincing. Although the residual sugar has been completely fermented, this Lambrusco is still fruity, drinky and an exceptional pleasure with every sip! SUPERIORE.DE"Light strawberry pink; discreet strawberry fruit, also distantly rosemary; fine foamy, strawberry fruit, delicate tartness, juicy." (JLF) Merum

One of the most characterful dry Lambruschi in our range every year. Bright cherry red colour with a brightening rim.

"Fresh pink; fresh raspberries; quite fine, fruity sweetness, juicy acidity, drinky" (JLF) Merum
"The 2022 Lambrusco del Fondatore is a pale ruby color, displaying sweet notes of black cherries, smoke and hints of violet pastille. This floods the palate with a silken bead of bubbles, gaining traction through saline mineral tones as notes of raspberry and licorice cascade throughout. The 2022 tapers off with admirable length and pleasantly chewy, leaving suggestions of hard candies and inner rose to linger. "

"Bright, medium ruby red colour with a persistent head. Ripe blackberries and blackcurrants on the nose, followed by a hint of violets and cherries. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with well-integrated perlage and fine tannins, drinky and with a long final." Falstaff
"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

“Palai” Müller-Thurgau Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2022
The Palai area is one of the most representative areas for the production of Müller Thurgau in Italy due to its microclimatic characteristics and the influence of the Cembra and Isarco valleys. In order to preserve its varietal characteristics (aromas and natural antioxidants), the grapes are processed using the hyper-reduction technique (in the absence of oxygen) developed and patented by the company.
Brilliant straw yellow with greenish reflections. The bouquet is intense, aromatic and rich with notes of baked apples and crushed raw almonds, accompanied by citrus peel and a hint of smoke. Its fine acidity and aromatic vein make it a convincing accompaniment to both great fish dishes and simple braised dishes with freshwater fish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Light yellow; fresh fruit, grapefruit, inviting; juicy acidity, nettle, crisp, fruity, drinky, length, pleasing." (JLF) Merum
"This bone-dry white wine is lean and seductive. It offers notes of petrol and stones overlaid with flavours of poached quince, nectarine, verbena and grapefruit flesh, and crackles with lively acidity on the crisp finish." Wine Spectator

"Deep crimson. Brooding and subdued fruit with a hint of leather. Fluid, elegant and juicy. Long and suave, with finely ground tannins. A truly elegant new-school Nero d’Avola." Jancis Robinson
"The Saia 2020 is seductively dark and opens with a blend of red plums, sage, smoke and tangerine peel. It is soft and round and shows ripe red and blue fruits, sweet herbs and dark chocolate. The juicy acidity ensures that the 2020 finishes long and pleasantly acidic. Traces of sour citrus fruits slowly fade away. This incredibly beautiful Nero d'Avola wants to please." Vinous
"This medium to full-bodied red wine is well-structured and balanced, with a slight hint of balsamico acidity that enlivens concentrated flavours of blackberry, roasted plum, violet, espresso and smoke. The fine tannins provide fine definition and firm up the slightly chalky finish." Wine Spectator
"The organically certified 2020 Sicilia Saia is a pure Nero d'Avola from one of the most beautiful areas of rural Sicily in Noto. This red wine shows medium concentration with dark fruits, ripe cherries, black olives and sweet earthy tones. It is richly structured and finishes with soft, sweet tannins. This is a great wine for the kitchen." Wine Advocate
"Aromas of black liquorice, crushed plums and ground spices. Medium to full body with powdery but firm tannins. Fresher and crisper than previous vintages. The red and black fruits on the palate are nicely articulated by a steady acidity and some mineral notes." James Suckling
"Pure Nero d'Avola from the area between Noto and Pachino, 14 months in French barriques, a wine of great stature. On the nose, notes of blackberries, violets and a hint of juniper on the finish. Compact and juicy on the palate, with brackish tannins, fruity flavours and a long, spicy finish." Luca Gardini

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 (BIO)
Every year, Istine's Chianti Classico is one of the most racy and authentic representatives of its genre. Its weightlessness and at the same time precision make up a large part of its appeal. A finely knit bouquet of red berries, flowers, chalk and white pepper. Medium-bodied on the palate, its fine fruit, creamy tannins and plenty of personality come to light with further aeration. A red wine that takes hearts by storm with its lively, dancing and extremely fine nerve! SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium-intense red; subtly red-fruity, slightly spicy, arouses curiosity; sweetness, juicy, clear acidity, fruit, good tannin, pleasing." (JLF) Merum
"A lively, straightforward red wine that produces flavours of black cherries, blackberries, liquorice and spices. Rich and dense, with a lively structure, it finishes with generous fruit and spice flavours." Wine Spectator
"The Chianti Classico 2021, which has just been bottled, captures all the energy of the year in its bright, red fruit. Blood orange, mint, white pepper and lively acidity give the Chianti Classico a remarkable energy that sparkles with excitement. All of this is underpinned by plenty of fruit. Bright salty notes extend the finish wonderfully." Vinous
"A crisp, spicy and fruity Classico. Small red fruits on the nose, especially pomegranate, amoral notes of marjoram, iris tones on the finish. Juicy mouthfeel, nice spice and tension, fruity again on the finish." Luca Gardini

“Ghiaia Nera” Rosso Etna DOC 2021
Ghiaia, a pure Nerello Mascalese from the slopes of Mount Etna, exudes sweet aromas of cherries and flowers. A refined, very detailed and seductive wine with great charm, character and personality. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium-light red colour; reductive red-fruity, appealing; powerful, deep fruit, subtly tart tannin, long." Merum
"Sweet berries and orange peel with undertones of peach and lemon blossom. Medium-bodied, with crisp fruit and a fresh and slightly chewy finish. Delicious wine, now showing volcanic character with ashy and smoky undertones." James Suckling

“Contrada Diciasettesalme” Rosso Etna DOC 2021
Brilliant ruby red colour. Diciasettesalme offers a wonderful bouquet of dark fruit flavours, some flint and Cuban cigar tobacco. Balanced, elegant, full-bodied and salty fresh on the palate. Stylistically and qualitatively very successful. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium-light red; reductive-barrelled, plum cake, quite deep, arouses curiosity; dense, sweetness, depth of fruit, lots of beautiful tannin, length." Merum
"Brilliant ruby red colour. On the nose, hints of mustard seeds, dried rose petals, raspberries, ripe cherries and delicately resinous tones, reminiscent of plaster on the finish. Hearty on the palate with tightly woven tannins, powerful, stony, with a polished red fruit final, currently still somewhat unbalanced." Falstaff
"It is very perfumed, full of violets, summer meadow and potpourri, with an earthy tone and some flavours of wild strawberries and cherries. In the mouth, it shows vibrant and juicy red fruits with some spice and creaminess in the background, supported by grippy, grainy tannins." Decanter
"A flavoursome and lively red wine with notes of tapenade, sun-dried tomatoes, raspberries and cherry stones. Taut and firm, with a medium body and firm tannins. Excellent focus." James Suckling
"The 2021 Etna Rosso Diciassettesalme shows dusty minerals and dried fruit flavours. This wine generally has more muscle and dark fruit compared to the Zottorinoto, which tends to be floral and more delicate in character. The Diciassettesalme is fresh and straightforward and delivers all the fundamentals of Nerello Mascalese from this mighty Sicilian volcano. The vineyard is located directly below the Cottanera winery at 780 metres above sea level and is planted on light or grey lava rock. The soils are unique for this location." Wine Advocate

Friulano Collio DOC 2021
Mineral and delicate Friulano, on the nose grapefruit, peach, white pepper, figs and bananas. Then deep and complex on the palate with further appetising flavours of tropical fruits, apricots and hazelnuts. Very long and with its salty swing great as every year! SUPERIORE.DE
"Golden pale yellow; fruity, elderflower, appealing; powerful, intensely fruity, nettle, round, delicate, very pleasant." Merum
"Sometimes you can just smell "beautiful", and this is one of those cases. Wafting, almost lacy aromas of white peach, apricot and Fuji apples dance from the glass. Hints of wet river rock and fresh herbs emerge as the wine opens. On the palate, the wine focuses on perfectly ripe stone fruit, wild flowers and crushed rock. Balanced acidity ensures that the wine gains momentum with every sip." Wine Enthusiast
"The Friulano 2021 is youthfully unobtrusive with a pretty bouquet that mixes lemon peel with mint and nuances of crushed rock. It washes over the palate with a tense mix of citrusy acids and salty minerals, while a core of tropical melon develops towards the end. The 2021 finishes on a more delicate note, but long and with pretty inner flowers still lingering. The beautiful balance and underlying power of this wine will ensure it ages beautifully in bottle. The best is yet to come." Vinous
"White peaches and cooked apples with undertones of flint and matches. Also some iron filings. Full-bodied but compact, dense and fresh. Very mineral, with undertones of dried peach, citrus and minerals and a bright finish. Very solid." James Suckling

“Saignée della Rocca” Metodo Classico Pinot Nero extra brut
High-quality Rosato Spumante made from 100% Pinot Nero. Old pink, almost onion-coloured and with interesting copper reflections. Fine perlage and a fine, creamy foam. The bouquet has a delicate aroma of roses, grapefruit, small red fruits and a hint of yeast. Dry, full, fresh and elegant on the palate. Hints of blackcurrants and wild strawberries, then a consistent tang and a beguiling silkiness. SUPERIORE.DE
"Pale onion skin pink; subtle yeast notes, somewhat reductive, appealing; very fine foam, smooth, also length, very pleasant." (JLF) Merum
"Very delicate salmon pink colour. Animating rosé and lots of bread crust and Pinot Noir fruit on the nose. Freshly baked bread, lots of yeasty tones, elegant notes of saline. A great aperitif and accompaniment to starters. A great alternative to the famous neighbouring region of Franciacorta and a real insider tip for Pinot Noir sparkling lovers." Vinum

“Filetta di Lamole” Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Filetta di Lamole comes from selected Lamole vineyards owned by the Manetti family at an altitude of 600 metres. A multi-layered, elegant Chianti Classico that plays out its flavours in a nuanced way and has a fascinating structure. Ruby red in colour with light reflections. A multi-layered bouquet of cherry, followed by slightly tarry notes, violets and wild flowers. You can recognise Fontodi's signature in this profound wine, and yet it is different because it is more subtle and restrained with its existing strengths. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium-light red; restrained fruity, fresh-fruity, inviting; medium weight, concise acidity, good tartness, certain length." Merum
"Bright, sparkling ruby red colour. Fine bouquet with aromas of crisp cherry, rosehip and some juniper in the aftertaste. Beautiful acidity on the palate, fine tannins, juicy and very easy to drink." Falstaff
"The Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole 2020 is elegant, delicate and cheerful. Fine-grained tannins envelop a core of bright raspberry fruit, cedar wood, tobacco and aniseed. The Filetta di Lamole is medium-bodied and aromatic and is a top-class wine from this vineyard." Vinous
"The 2020 slowly reveals rose, lilac and lavender against a backdrop of ripe redcurrants. Beautifully structured with fine tannins; the finish is long and juicy." Decanter
"The Fontodi 2020 Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole from organic farming comes from a small part of the vineyards in the cool and wooded area of Lamole. It shows wild raspberries and cherries with notes of peat moss, almonds and fragrant blue flowers such as lilac and violets. The wine has a slender body and a very lively personality." Wine Advocate
"Intriguing flavours of cherry, cedar, dried flowers and sandalwood follow through to a medium body with fine-grained tannins and an exciting and fine finish. One or two more years of bottle ageing will make it even better, but it is already very beautiful." James Suckling

Merum, the Italian magazine for wine, olive oil, travel and food, has been writing completely independently, competently and critically about wine and olive oil for 25 years, and also about Italian topics, which other magazines leave behind.
For more than 25 years, the Merum editors around editor-in-chief Andreas März have been passionately reporting on famous and unknown appellations, researching directly on site, selecting the best Barolo, Brunello, Chianti Classico etc. for the readers, and at the same time being committed to less prominent wines such as Vernatsch, Grignolino, Raboso, Lambrusco and, of course, quality olive oil. The articles never just scratch the surface, but provide background knowledge and details that are useful to readers when making purchases and travelling to Italy.
Merum is not a commercial product, let's call it an immodest cultural product. What is written in Merum is not embellished, sometimes perhaps undiplomatic, even ruthless in the tastings, and uncompromising in the values for which the makers stand. Merum does not seek broad consensus and circulation at any price, but works forward in the service of its subscribers on a journalistic course with which they do not always have to identify, but on whose transparency, reliability and independence they can build. The Swiss small publisher is interested in values that should be strengthened and not in profits that should be maximized.
Founder and editor-in-chief Andreas März is Swiss, who owns a small farm in Tuscany, where he himself produces one of the best olive oils in Italy and a little wine. In the past, he has built a solid editorial team around himself. Like himself, all editors are completely independent, contentious and constantly on the lookout for the best quality.
Some MERUM creations enjoy great popularity, such as the little word "beaver wine", which is used to describe wines that have been given too much "toasting" from barrique barrels and thus fall through the evaluation grid. Or the JLF test, at which wines are served hidden on the table for the joint dinner of the editorial staff and also at regular reader meetings in Tuscany, and then the centimetres of remaining wine are measured with a ruler: The emptier the bottle (the better the wine).
At MERUM, only wines that have a high "drinking factor" in addition to grape variety typicity and terroir fidelity are rated positively. Wines that speak the clear language of their origins and are a lot of fun. The actual wine evaluation is published in the middle of the issue as Merum-Selezione and is evaluated with one to three hearts. Each year the extensive MERUM paperbacks "Italy's Best Wines" and "Italy's Best Olive Oils" are published and each issue is accompanied by a Degu Box containing the best wines from the respective theme tastings.
