Cantalupi Рthe name is reminiscent of the wolves that once roamed the vineyards near Salice Salentino. The Zecca family has been cultivating these lands in the heart of Salento since 1580. Their Rosato, made from 80% Negroamaro and 20% Malvasia Nera, shows just how distinctive Apulian ros̩ can be: Bright light pink in the glass, with floral notes and red berry fruit on the nose. The ageing in cement tanks preserves the freshness, the lack of filtration the substance. Clear and harmonious on the palate, with lively acidity and a dry, juicy finish Рwith only 1.8 g/l residual sugar, a Rosato without compromise. Honest, precise, typically Salento. SUPERIORE.DE

Campirosa Cerasuolo only gradually unfolds its fresh strawberry and cherry flavours, which are adorned with sweet flowers.

Campirosa is already a charming favourite when young, but can also mature for another year in the cellar. SUPERIORE.DE

History returns Рalso in wine: Passerina is a testament to the desire to bring back grape varieties of medieval origin, rich in a unique and delicate character. A very old variety that probably comes directly from wild vines and may have arrived in Italy as early as the 6th century. The name Passerina reveals a charming story: it is derived from the Italian "passero" Рsparrow. The little birds loved the sweet berries so much that the grape variety was named after them. For centuries, it was an insider tip in the Marche region, mostly hidden in cuv̩es, until visionaries like Saladini Pilastri recognised it: This variety deserves a solo career.

Brigaldara's Valpolicella is mainly made from Corvina and Corvinone grapes. The timing of the harvest is very important for this wine, so that its flavours are very delicate and its sensory balance is influenced by the precisely measured acidity. It expresses the characteristic flavours of the valley: from cherries to spicy notes, which are more or less pronounced depending on the vintage. Its beautiful and radiant balance is achieved by a short maturation in steel, which perfectly enhances its sensory characteristics. SUPERIORE.DE

Gròttolo means "small grotto". A fitting reference for an estate whose cellar is dug deep into the rock – four levels, designed according to the principles of bio-architecture by Edoardo Milesi. No pump, just gravity. This Rosato also matures down there, where the temperature remains the same and time runs differently. Sangiovese, gently pressed, short maceration at cool temperatures, steel – this is how Montecucco's most important grape variety is transformed into a rosé that expresses the character of the terroir in a different colour.

Imagine a morning over the Canavese hills – fine dew, fresh air and the scent of flowers. Merlana captures precisely this clarity in the glass.

The colour in the glass is a clear straw yellow with a greenish tinge, as if the light of dawn is dancing on it. The bouquet opens with notes of white peach, meadow flowers, fresh hay and a hint of jasmine. The palate is clear as a bell, with lively acidity, citrus-fresh elegance and salty minerality. Everything appears tidy, light-footed and yet very expressive. An authentic, straightforward white wine from Piedmont that delights with its alpine lightness and the finesse of Erbaluce – ideal as an aperitif, with asparagus or fine fish. SUPERIORE.DE
