"A firm, juicy red with blueberry, chocolate and light coffee aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

Orion is a very special primitivo, it is always fresh and of a remarkable endurance. Dense ruby red with violet edge, intense nose of aromas of ripe and fleshy red cherries, followed by spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. In the mouth powerful, smooth and very long. Its clearly defined acid wire sets it apart freshly and pleasantly from the otherwise far too often offered sweet, jamy primitivo monotony. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red. Spicy with hints of red fruit and a wonderfully subtle wood note. Gentle tannins round off the harmonious overall experience of this successful dining companion. SUPERIORE.DE

Pagus Cerbaia is a first class small plot of land with sedimentary soils. This is where the small quantities of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon come from, some of which are fermented in amphorae and oak barrels after harvesting. The "Selection Rosato", bottled in only a few hundred bottles, offers an intense floral aroma and captivates the palate in a lively and cheerful way with a persistent spicy note and a wonderfully complex finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is extremely long and polished with a great finish. Medium body, dense and fruity with lovely acidity. Gives depth and form at the finish. Made in amphora and barrel. Syrah. New and exciting wine." James Suckling

Wonderful cuvée based on Nero d'Avola. Ruby red with vivid garnet reflections. In the intense fragrance allusions of tobacco, spices and mineral notes. The balanced taste, characterized by red fruits, impresses on the palate with blackberry and sour cherry tones and ends in a final of good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, bright ruby red. In the nose of ripe cherries, plums, underlined by fine spicy and peppery tones, appears compact and inviting. Taut and juicy on the palate, opens on spicy elements, gripping." Falstaff

"A ripe and juicy wine with sour-cherry and berry character. Hints of almonds. Medium body. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"Deep red. Ripe aromas of red cherry and Oriental spices. Then fresh and juicy, but with a luscious quality to the super-ripe red and black cherry flavors that turn more austere in the middle. Finishes long and suave. This smells and tastes a lot like the 2018 Sherazade, only made from riper grapes." Vinous

Purple red with light red reflections. Intense fruity nose of small red berries, cherry and a touch of cedar wood and spices. It is already very accessible at a young age, its rich spectrum of aromas and the finely woven tannin framework ensure great drinkability and a lasting impression. SUPERIORE.DE

"Orange zest, dried cranberries, notes of ash and tar, as well as rosemary all spring from the glass on the nose. There’s impressive polish to the strands of lightly indented tannins which are melded together with bright acidity. Medium-bodied and medium-chewy on the finish." James Suckling

Medium cherry red. In the nose tobacco, leather and liquorice, on the palate with nice cherry aromas, supported by good acidity and tannin. Excellent Sangiovese interpretation with great value. SUPERIORE.DE

Our pure enthusiasm for this pure, authentic, wonderfully traditional Chianti Classico, which the very likeable Ingeborg Raspi Juergens and her family have been presenting to us for years: Ruby red, fine spicy, with refined depth of fruit, well proportioned in taste, powerful, elegant structure, intense final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep, lustrous ruby. Earthy cherry fruit on the nose with a suggestion of blackcurrant. Intense, rich, ripe and mouth-filling with grainy tannins adding interest and tension. Impressive length and generosity of fruit." Jancis Robinson

"1924" is a reminiscence of the founder Antonio Carpenè, who was instrumental in the development of the Prosecco Spumante as we know it today. The production is also special, with a beautiful reproduction of the label of that time: the necessary second fermentation on the yeast in the pressure tank (autoclave) lasts a full 25 days, which leads to a finer development of the bouquet, the aromas and the perlage. This high-quality Prosecco Superiore presents itself in the nose fine-fruity after ripe fruits and white blooms, in the taste it is full of character with a beautiful acidity, the correct dose of yellow pomace fruit and subtle almond note. This noble bubble / sparkling wine is a prime example of the DOCG and a more than appropriate appreciation of the inventor! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, brilliant silver with fine perlage. In the nose of melon, smoke, slightly greasy, flintstone. On the palate balanced and fine, rests elegantly in itself, juicy, opens clear and balanced, in the aftertaste further juicy and slightly salty, long". Falstaff

Intense ruby red colour, persistent fruity bouquet with notes of wild berries, violets, cloves, cinnamon and sweet tobacco. On the palate concentrated, fleshy, rich in tannins, dark fruits. In the finish the spice tones merge with a pleasant fruity note. All in all a promising drop. SUPERIORE.DE

"The warmth of the Maremma and the bite of Italy – a truly winning combination. There’s no hurry to drink this but you could. Dried herbs but masses of well-disciplined fruit." Jancis Robinson

"This is very perfumed on the nose with rose-petal, lavender and cherry aromas that follow through to a medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish." James Suckling

Schulthauser Pinot Bianco is the classic among the South Tyrolean Pinot Blanc. Its success began in 1986, when it was first expanded and bottled. A perfect, fine-fruity fresh wine, which seduces with creamy softness and racy acidity to enjoy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Clover blossom, marigold, spring meadow. On the palate elegant and juicy, in the middle of the palate quite physical strength, in the aromas restrained, still youthful-compact, a slight materiality in the transition to the finish, which hints, herbal spicy will unfold. Good food companion." Falstaff

"Complex nose of fresh apple, pear and candied zest. A palate of definite substance with rich, buzzing fruit qualities and ripe texture." Decanter

"Floral and pretty with lilac and cooked-pear character. Hints of honey. Medium body. Crisp finish." James Suckling

"Crushed thyme, alpine wildflower, beeswax and orchard-fruit aromas are front and center on this beautiful white. Proving just how well Pinot Bianco can do in Alto Adige, the creamy palate is loaded with finesse, delivering ripe yellow pear, creamy apple and citrus alongside tangy acidity. White-almond and stony mineral notes back up the finish." (Editors Choice) Wine Enthusiast

This harmonious blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet comes from Querciabella's Maremma estate. A charming bouquet with notes of tobacco and leather, which then give way to a ripe fruit. The balanced taste is fine fruity, intense and fresh. SUPERIORE.DE

"Eloquent and harmonious, featuring black cherry, black currant, violet, vanilla and graphite aromas and flavors. A dusty cocoa note emerges on the extended finish." Wine Spectator

"Love the aromas of plums, cherries and currants with hints of flowers and undertones of dried flowers. Full body, round and silky tannins and fresh and bright finish. A blend of sangiovese, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Needs two or three years to come together, but already beautiful. From biodynamically grown grapes and vegan." James Suckling
