"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

The entry wine into the great world of the Tenuta di San Leonardo gives us a foretaste of the fruit intensity and exuberance associated with the 2016 vintage. The grapes for this charming red cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère come without exception from the estate's own vineyards. Terre offers present notes of black cherry, spices and blackberry. It is a whimsical, lively and very fruity red wine that will give you a lot of pleasure within the next years! SUPERIORE.DE

A Nebbiolo for purists. In the fragrance pine resin, dried fruit and essential spices. On the palate we find sweet plums, juicy cherries, robust tannins and a fine mineral acidity. This drop demands a strong accompaniment and is a great pleasure in this combination! 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

Rich and fruity is the well-done Dolcetto by Chiara Boschis. Violet red, in the nose blackberry, candied cherries and some plum compote. On the palate a soft fullness with a wonderful fresh acidity, its medium face makes it an indispensable companion for light meat dishes and pasta. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red, persistent, fruity bouquet with notes of wild berries, violets, cloves and cinnamon, as well as sweet tobacco aromas. On the palate concentrated, fleshy, tannic, dark fruit.

"Very rich, dark ruby red. In the nose after fine wood spice and ripe raspberries, cherries, forest fruits, some liquorice in the aftertaste. On the palate it opens beautifully, juicy and clear, handy tannin until the final, delicate post-drying." Falstaff

"Cherry, leather, iron and earth flavors shout Sangiovese, yet there is a saline element too. Linear, dry and persistent. Shows fine balance." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of cherries and watermelon follow through to a medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The bouquet is savory yet slightly restrained in its youthful state, as notes of crushed raspberry give way to peppery floral and herbal tones, with a hint of spiced orange. On the palate, silky textures flood the senses with pure cherry and wild berry, as saline-minerals and fine tannins slowly settle in, kept lively through balanced acidity. The finish is long and structured with saturating dried red fruits resonating, turning more toward the savory spectrum, as youthful tannins clench the senses. The 2016 Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva is a blend of 80% Sangiovese with equal parts Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s classic in every way and geared up for a long stay in the cellar." Vinous

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

Lezer means "light" and that's how it is - in the very best sense. Bright ruby red, in the nose red berries and an interesting violet note. On the palate smoke, freshly cut wood and a fine creaminess. Until the finish a thoroughly fresh red, which just slightly cooled fits to the warm season and uncomplicated Mediterranean cuisine. The maturation in different vessels like amphora, wooden barrel and cement tank gives it an additional charm and an unmistakable profile. SUPERIORE.DE

Pronounced fragrance of berries and spices. Dense on the palate with a fascinating balance between tannin and full body. A complex red wine with a long and smooth finish. SUPERIORE.DE
