6 Bottles in OWC

Ruby red, with a fruity bouquet of ripe sour cherries and wild berries, nuances of hay, amaretto and liquorice. The full-bodied flavour is full and long-lasting with aromas of cassis and a velvety structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Generous black cherry aromas swirl in the glass with layers of sweet and savory spice, pepper and sweet tobacco. The palate is forward with juicy ripe red berries and blackberries wrapped in sweet oak spices and fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Inviting nose of almost candied red cherries, berries and a hint of cherry liqueur chocolate. Full and intense, the cocoa-like note coats the very fine tannins and seems to colour the fruit more and more as the palate progresses. Pleasant, slightly abrasive, almost dusty sensation on the finish." James Suckling

Boscarelli's Merlot smells very complex and pleasant of ripe blueberries and plums, a little smoky and of roasted nuts. Firm and powerful on the palate, ripe, juicy, tart fruit and youthful but polished tannins. Wonderfully persistent, long, spicy and soft. SUPERIORE.DE

In 1984, Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita wanted to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary with his wife Franca by creating a wine that told the family story and at the same time the story of the Tenuta. The uniqueness of the grape composition shows his romantic spirit: Inzolia and Sauvignon of the Tasca selection, the selection of a vineyard in Regaleali that dates back to the end of the First World War. The use of selected yeasts from the estate's own vineyards links this wine even more inextricably to the terroir from which it comes. Fresh in its youth, the wine is unexpectedly age-worthy, balancing its tertiary aromas with the intensity of the fruit.

Rich straw yellow with a haunting floral bouquet, plus notes of peach, exotic fruits and saffron. Then the harmonious taste, whose delightful substance is carried by a perfect acidity with a fine saline vein. SUPERIORE.DE

Dievoles three new single-vineyard wines are the result of an effort to highlight the identity characteristics of particularly suitable vineyards in Chianti Classico, leading to ever more precise expressions of Sangiovese. This gift box of 6 contains 2 bottles of each of the three single vineyards.

2 bottles à 0,75l | "Petrignano" Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)

Petrignano is the name of a characteristic area with a soil rich in minerals and stones. At an altitude of about 330 metres, rocks protrude from the ground, typical of the geological formation of Monte Morello. The abundance of stones, the depth of the roots and the low growth of the vines result in an expressive and lush wine from this characteristic and authentic cru site. Intense ruby red. Very appealing bouquet dominated by ripe fruit, cherry and blackberry aromas. Juicy, full and rich on the palate, with blackberry and ripe fruit flavours. Warm and velvety finish with fine and soft tannins, very accentuated interwoven with the fine acidity framework. SUPERIORE.DE

2 bottles à 0,75l | "Casanova" Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)

The Casanova grapes come from a vineyard at an altitude of about 400 metres, with an ideal south-west to south-east exposure and consisting mainly of sandstone rocks Macigno del Chianti. The result is a Chianti Classico that is very immediate and direct, with a beautiful acidity to boot. It has the elegance and freshness and the bright, radiant fruit of Chianti Classico "as it used to be". Bright, luminous ruby red. On the nose, classic aromas of the grape variety with notes of small red fruits such as cherries and sour cherries alternating with spicy notes. On the palate it is soft, carried by a dense tannin structure and a spicy, velvety finish. SUPERIORE.DE

2 bottles à 0,75l | "Catignano" Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)

Catignano is a plateau at 370 metres above sea level, with vineyards of different ages and a large proportion of Alberese. The exposure is westerly and south-easterly, which means plenty of sun during the day, but also cold temperatures at night, with a good temperature range that favours the aromatic development of the grapes. On the nose, notes of red fruits, then a tertiary complexity of tobacco leather, graphite and liquorice. Warm and juicy on the palate, with notes of ripe red fruits. A juicy, sun-drenched cru. SUPERIORE.DE

Barolo Paesi Tuoi was named after Cesare Pavese's 1941 novel "Among Peasants". Dark shining ruby red. Wide, warm scent of sour cherries, forest fruits, leather and mint. In the expressive taste harmoniously engaging with clear fruit and silky tannins. A cleanly vinified, mature Barolo with potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"This opens with aromas of rose petal, scorched earth and tobacco. On the savory, solid palate, fine-grained tannins accompany ripe black cherry, star anise and clove." Wine Enthusiast

Per Lui Rosso is a complex, spicy red with aromas of red and black cherries, flowers, sweet spices and tobacco. On the palate, this rare red displays a cosy breadth and beautiful fruit. 100% Ottavianello. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep purple-red colour, distinctive bouquet that does not deny the Apulian home of the Susumaniello and enchants us with a stimulating freshness. Hints of ripe black cherries and fine spicy notes on the palate, dense, harmonious, long-lasting and with beautifully integrated tannins. An original, rustic flavour experience! SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, impenetrable ruby red colour. Aromas of black fruit unfold on the nose, accompanied by hints of cocoa, tobacco and leather. Fresh on the palate, with dense, sweet tannins and a long, fruity finish." Falstaff

The grapes for this graceful Valpolicella Classico come from the Miniere vineyard of Bertani's Villa Novare estate, a south-western site of just 4 hectares consisting of two terraces. Bright ruby red, notes of fresh fruit, cherry, wild berries on the nose, with elegant hints of white pepper. Spicy, juicy and tasty on the palate, with remarkable persistence and great length! SUPERIORE.DE

"Young light red; reductive, fresh, fruity, peach; round, juicy, fruit deep, long, very nice." (JLF) Merum

"Juicy, crisp, light and playful, with exuberant energy running on a trail of white peppery acidity and a gentle drive of herbal tannins. Red limestone. Strawberry, mountain herbs, crushed musk and lilac. A great substitute for a Cru Beaujolais. A delicious drinking pleasure that reflects the current zeitgeist of quality fruit without dryness, tension and joyful immediacy." James Suckling

"Lively and spicy on the nose, with notes of strawberry sweets. Nervous and structured on the palate, very long and pure." Decanter

On the nose, noble, typically Tuscan notes of cherries, blackberries, violets and spices. Exceptionally complex, multi-layered and excellently structured on the palate. Gripping tannins, intense fruit and pleasant acidity are already in perfect harmony. The drinking pleasure builds nicely and increases in the long final. For us, it has been the attractive alternative to Antinori's famous Tignanello for years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of dried cherries, bark, mahogany and porcini mushrooms. Lemons and herbs, too. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and tangy acidity. Juicy, savory and supple." James Suckling

"This blended red is Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon in a supporting role. The Poggio Bonelli 2018 Poggiassai is velvety, saturated and rich with dark fruit, cherry liqueur, barbecue spice and grilled herb. The wine shows a pretty dark color and thick concentration to complete what is ultimately a very contemporary winemaking style." Wine Advocate

Radiant in rich garnet red, the Riserva-quality Pelago made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano and small parts of Merlot shows a ravishing scent of raspberries, a noble spiciness and a hearty, juicy and very long taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has aromas of salted olives, grilled herbs, cherries, plums, cedar, cloves and bay leaves. Structured and firm, with chewy tannins and a medium to full body. Savory, flavorful finish." James Suckling

"Dark depths of crushed raspberry, strawberry preserve, cloves, tobacco and a hint of mocha form a seductive bouquet as the 2018 Rosso Pelago opens in the glass. It’s seamlessly silky and elegant in feel, washing creamy waves of ripe red and black fruits across the palate with ease. The 2018 tapers off with a coating of grippy tannins, as a saturation of licorice and nuances of sour citrus slowly fade. This is a beautiful and more lifted vintage of Pelago that should emerge as a real charmer through short–term cellaring." Vinous

"This is a second, albeit more contemporary red wine from the top of the estate portfolio. The wine shows saturated dark fruit with plum, soft spice, leather and tar. There are hints of chopped mint and balsam herb on the elegant finish." Wine Advocate

Grapes from vines up to 35 years old give this dense Primitivo power and finesse. Deep dark colour, strong nuances of sour cherry, ripe plum and dark jam in the bouquet, chocolate and coffee aromas in the background. The pronounced fruit notes continue in the powerful taste. Soft and with sweet melting, balanced and long. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for this top-class Valpolicella Classico Superiore come from rather barren, chalky and terraced vineyards of the Tenuta Novare above the Ognisanti church. Here, wines of greater complexity, perfect structure and higher concentration are produced than in most other Valpolicella sites. Sparkling ruby garnet. Fragrant nose with beautiful overtones of sour cherry, dried flowers and white pepper. Perfectly balanced on the palate with firm tannin and wonderful spice and depth of fruit due to the wood ageing. A superior, winning wine from the core zone of Valpolicella. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep ruby red. Initially notes of white pepper and tobacco on the nose, followed by delicate hints of small red fruits. Full and intense flavour, fruity sweetness and smoothness, juicy and slightly spicy finish." Falstaff

"The 2020 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ognisanti di Novare is quite pretty, with nuances of rose petals and dried strawberries. It has a soft texture, and a salty core of minerality adds a savoury flair, while tart cherry fruit cascades across the palate." Vinous

"A medium-bodied red wine with fresh red berry aromas and flavours, showing floral, citrus and mineral nuances as it progresses. The tannins are very fine and almost chalky, soaking up more and more fruit on the ever-expanding palate. Long finish. This is a very graceful and well made Valpo that reminds me a little of Pinot Noir. Very expressive without being loud in any way." James Suckling

"Vineyard of the same name in Arbizzano di Negrar, Corvina Veronese with a small amount of Rondinella, 12 months in French oak, a wine of juiciness and tension, nose with notes of cranberry, with hints of marjoram, white pepper and wild mint. Taut-savoury palate, spicy return." Luca Gardini

Elegant, intense and long-lasting, the Serpara is every year. Its grapes come from a single vineyard and the wine is aged in a combination of new and used French Allier oak barrels. In the glass, it exudes aromas of blackberries, tobacco, sage, thyme and hints of smoked meat. It has a soft, almost creamy texture and juicy acids that balance as ripe black fruits and minerals move effortlessly across the palate. The strong tannins make their presence felt on the final, but are more of an accent that frames the experience well, while hints of dark chocolate and balsamic spices slowly fade away. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has aromas of rosemary, dried strawberries, grilled plums, smoked paprika and mocha. It’s spicy and full of flavor, with a full body and firm, chewy tannins. Long, spicy and smoky finish." James Suckling

A hearty, spicy Fiano di Avellino that impresses with its fruitiness and aromas of sausage, bacon and smoke. Complex on the palate of tropical fruits, candy and minerals, full-bodied long. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Bianco More Maiorum is savory in the glass, blending musky dried apricot with yellow flowers, ginger and crushed rocks. It’s nearly salty on the palate, displaying a crisp purity of tart orchard fruits and mineral tones that add an almost-crunchy sensation toward the close. This finishes with bitter almond and lemon zest, tapering off with admirable length yet dry and grippy." Vinous

"This wine starts with a lovely lemon, cedar peel and wild onion character on the nose, mixed with a touch of oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied with bright citrus fruit that lingers until the end. It leaves a long aftertaste of lemon peel, dry minerals and caramel." James Suckling

"Here is a beautifully matured blend of equal parts Fiano and Greco. The 2017 Irpinia Bianco More Maiorum from the historic Mastroberardino estate shows a rich, mid-weight style with layers of beeswax, stone fruit, thick-skinned cedro lemon and underripe apricot. A nice hint of petrol and gravel adds to the wine's complexity and highlights the smooth evolution of this impressive five-year-old white." Wine Advocate

L'Arcione Rosso, an elegant Friulian cuvée of Pignolo and Schiopettino, reveals a variety of aromas on the nose, from earthy to exotic. It is a highly expressive wine full of lively fruit and extraordinary complexity, its purity and race are breathtaking. This selection should be enjoyed with leisure! SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for this noble Valpolicella come from calcareous marl soils from the terraced vineyards of the Novare winery. Similar to the Amarone process, the grapes undergo a second fermentation on the sweet skins of dried grapes in March after the harvest. Strong ruby red, warm spicy notes on the palate, cherry, black pepper and hints of chocolate. Animating in the glass with intense fruity aromas, wonderfully soft tannin structure and beautiful persistence. This multilayered, luxurious wine does not have to hide behind its big brother! SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose shows minty nuances with lovely aromas of dark chocolate, candied fruits and hints of baking spices. Soft, supple tannins." Decanter

"Aromas and flavours of ripe berries and dark cherries with mineral notes of liquorice. Full-bodied with a soft feel and well-integrated creamy tannins. Nice intensity of fruit." James Suckling

The Riserva Poggio Lombrone is produced in the traditional style of winemaking and organically. Distinctive bouquet of red fruits, roses, violets and sweet spices. Polished, rich texture on the palate, finessed, juicy and with balanced tannins. A great Sangiovese full of character with good Storage potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Multi-layered bouquet of raspberries, flowers, cloves and pepper; combines polish and character, the acidity and tight tannins in perfect harmony, precise development with a complex elegant finish. Convincing also in this vintage." Vinum

"Bright ruby red. In the nose with bacony-spicy aromas, toasted, shows red berry fruit with a little air. Dense on the palate, with tightly woven tannins, slightly earthy-spicy undertones, though also tightly woven, stout, shows character, should definitely be decanted before drinking." Falstaff

"This wine has an attractive bouquet of dried flowers, blackberries, grilled herbs, walnuts, orange peel and spices. Medium-bodied, firm and structured with a range of savoury herbal and spicy notes. Rich and flavourful finish." James Suckling

"Riserva Poggio Lombrone is an emblem of Sangiovese from Maremma and has been at the top of the quality of this variety for years. A refined bouquet, notes of marasca cherries under alcohol, a touch of wild iris, a hint of cinnamon and finally mentholation. It's juicy and salty on the palate, with a fruity finish." Luca Gardini

Powerful and warm red wine in Riserva quality with pronounced dark blackberry notes and a fine smoky wood note. The full flavour is beautifully balanced with a remarkable finish. Vigna Steinraffler comes from the new single vineyard of the same name and undisputedly belongs to the Lagrein elite of the region. SUPERIORE.DE

In South Tyrol, the classification "Vigna" guarantees and designates the origin of a single-vineyard wine. The Pinot Bianco from the single vineyard San Michele from the Barthenau winery has a strong personality that fully unfolds after an additional year of bottle ageing. Green apple and banana on the rich bouquet, full-bodied and with lots of fruit on the palate, plus a medium, finely balanced acidity and a long mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The "Sassorosso" vineyard is located on a rocky promontory that is separated from the rest of the mountain and has been almost completely eroded by the glacier over the centuries. It is visually distinguished by the unmistakable red colour of the ferruginous inclusions in the rock. The overlying shallow soil layer consists of clay and sand and lies on friable, metamorphic rock into which the roots can penetrate. The unmistakably elegant and mineral character of the terroir is thus particularly strongly expressed in this Nebbiolo.

Bright, transparent ruby red with a fine garnet hue. On the nose, small red fruits such as blackberry, redcurrant, cherry and raspberry complemented by fresh, floral notes of violets and roses. The palate is dense with a very tasty attack, silky tannins and a seemingly endless finish. A wine of great austerity and purity with considerable ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of cut plum, red liquorice, roasted thyme and hibiscus. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins. Straightforward with real freshness and juicy red fruits." James Suckling

"The 2019 Grumello Sassorosso is a potent wine laced with strong mineral and savory notes that lend nuance as well as energy. Sweet dried cherry, crushed rocks, sage, mint and pipe tobacco open in the bouquet, but the Sassorosso remains a bit stern and unyielding in feel." Vinous

"Spicy at first, with notes of tarry smoke, loamy earth and grilled herbs evolving into a more subtle thread that winds through flavours of plum sauce, cherry reduction, anise and graphite. Long and slightly juicy overall, with a creamy edge to the otherwise chewy tannins that firm up the spicy finish." Wine Spectator

Barbera d'Alba Superiore Fides from the famous Mosconi vineyard offers a very nuanced bouquet characterised by blackberry, black cherry, cassis and plum on the one hand, and distinct mineral notes on the other. Fides offers a dark concentration and a soft, intense texture. Lavender, mint and sweet floral notes give it additional verve and make it one of the best site Barbera of Piedmont every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense ruby red. Rich and intense aromas with notes of ripe red fruits, black spices, undergrowth, cocoa and coffee. Full-bodied, concentrated and harmonious on the palate, balanced synthesis of softness and freshness." Falstaff

"The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Vigna Mosconi Fides delivers big ripeness and fruit weight with inky dark intensity, mature blackberry and syrupy blackberry or cherry essence." Wine Advocate

"The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Fides Vigna Mosconi is gorgeous. Dark, fleshy and super–expressive, the 2020 is packed with plum, blackberry, mocha, lavender, spice and chocolate. Although quite racy and extroverted, the 2020 retains terrific freshness and fine overall balance. It is a joyous Barbera to drink now and over the next handful of years." Vinous

"This red is all about finesse and elegance, with a silky texture aligned to black cherry, blackberry, violet and almond aromas and flavors. Beautifully balanced and long, with pure fruit echoing on the finish." Wine Spectator

"A linear and fresh barbera with dark fruit, bark, walnuts and orange peel. It’s medium–bodied with well–integrated tannins. Focused and fine. Sophisticated. Tangy finish. Very long." James Suckling

"The Stilèma project was born as a testimony of Antonio Mastroberardino's love for his land, his vines and his wines, for their original character." Piero Mastroberardino

The project aims to highlight the link between the vines, the wines and their territorial origins. In this way, the Mastroberardino family wants to recreate the style of winemaking of the autochthonous grape varieties of Irpinia (Greco, Fiano and Aglianico) that took place between the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1970s of the twentieth century for the Taurasi and between the years 1970 and 1980 for the two white wines from Irpinia. It is the unmistakable style (the stilèma) of a family that has interpreted the natural heritage of its territory over generations and today impressively highlights the genuine character of the terroir, which by no means can be expressed by high concentration and intensity alone.

Pale straw yellow with light green reflections. The 24 months of yeast ageing of this exceptional Fiano create a fascinating balance and complexity of the aroma profile with classic hints of flint, fine saltiness, the scent of fresh almonds, cedar wood and wild herbs. The taste is lively with a pronounced mineral note, accompanied by an inspiring freshness that gives it great drinkability and finesse. The precise and very long finish is also extremely convincing. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lean and mineral, with a pure fruit bundle of apricot and white cherry and base notes of stone and salt, with accents of white flowers, pink grapefruit pith, liquorice and smoked almond. Supple and well-integrated, with a delicious, lingering finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2018 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Stilèma opens slowly with notes of dried flowers and crushed stones that are replaced by apricots and ginger. It is silky yet supple, showing its minerality up front accompanied by tart fruit. The final is structured and long, colouring the palate with youthful concentration as notes of young peach and raw almond fade away. The 2018 is a powerful interpretation of Fiano Stilèma. Give it some time to relax." Vinous

"A little reserved on the nose, with hints of lemon blossom and dry minerals. On the silky, full-bodied palate, it opens up to offer lovely flavours of fresh lemon and creamy minerals, carried by subtle acidity on the long finish. This is a classy, refined Fiano that is great to drink now." James Suckling

"The Mastroberardino 2018 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Stiléma has been upgraded to Riserva and is creamy and smooth. The wine shows a medium fruit weight with notes of fruit trees and preserved lemons, enhanced by light oak spice and vanilla. Even more than the Greco Riserva Stiléma, which I also tasted, this Fiano seems more modern or "New World" in personality." Wine Advocate

An impenetrably dense ruby red colour, the nose is dominated by a variety of ripe fruit aromas of sour cherry and black berries. The herbal flavours typical of the Negroamaro variety, its lively acidity and sweet tannins are well interwoven. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red with brightening edges. Intense aroma of ripe plums, blackberries and sweet tobacco, cloves. Medium structure on the palate, fine fruit flavour and well-integrated tannins, lingering, fruity final." Falstaff
