“Vigneto Enrico Cialdini” Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC 2022 secco
Purple dark red colour, beautiful foam. Cherry nose, continues in the fresh drink with notes of elderberries and a fine bitter note. A high-quality, dry and powerful Lambrusco from the Enrico Cialdini vineyard with remarkable juiciness and well-balanced sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium, purple-red colour; intense red berry, inviting; very fine foam, certain sweetness, balanced, drinky, fruity length, very nice." (JLF) Merum
"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

“Felline” Primitivo di Manduria DOP 2021
Primitivo Felline smells of ripe berries, flowers, figs and sultanas. Its distinctly dense flavour is carried by present but sweet tannins and a fresh, tart plum finish. The classic of the winery. SUPERIORE.DE

Nocera - this noble vine is grown on only a few hectares in the province of Messina, on a spectacular vineyard surrounded by the sea.

“RADICE” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco
Out with the clichés, in with the surprise! Paltrinieri's most famous Lambrusco wine will also delight every connoisseur. Radice is produced using the Pét Nat method (Metodo Ancestrale) and therefore undergoes a second fermentation on its own yeast after bottling. This naturally cloudy, dry frizzante impresses on the nose with notes of rhubarb, a fresh citrus flavour and a hint of bread. The persistent, fine perlage and its drinkynature make it a racy accompaniment to savoury, spicy antipasti, light meat dishes or simply a lively celebration in the midst of nature and cheerful people. SUPERIORE.DE
"Lambrusco di Sorbara is simply an insider tip for real sparkling wine freaks. Paltrinieri vinifies his Radice undegorged as a PetNat. There is a lot of rhubarb on the nose and then this gentle, warm note of yeast. It is really dry on the palate and revitalises the senses with its fresh acidity. Rhubarb again, and a fresh note of yellow lemons. A real appetiser that makes your mouth water." Vinum
"Aromas of candied citrus, white peach and musk melon, followed by pie crust and candy floss. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a fine bead. Subtle flint minerality on the finish. Lively and aromatic wine." James Suckling
"The extremely elegant Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice 2022 is a pretty pink with orange-coloured reflections. It opens with a mixture of orange zest, tangerine and cracked slate. A silky pearl of bubbles unfurls on the palate, contrasted by an acidic burst of citrus, while exotic flowers and candied ginger nuances swirl through the nose. A subtle hint of grapefruit emerges on the crisp, refreshing final as the 2022 slowly tapers off. This Radice is a blockbuster. Savour it chilled for instant satisfaction, or let it warm slowly in a large glass with a bowl." Vinous
"A Sorbara vinified in purity as it has never been dared before, in a very relevant reading. A nose of wild strawberries and pepper leaf, with floral notes of iris, the mouthfeel is taut, savoury, with a fruity return and length." Luca Gardini

A spectacular steep slope rises above the north-western shore of Lake Kaltern, one of the best vineyards in the area. Classic and Demeter-certified Vernatsch from South Tyrol: Pronounced, very fruity aroma of red berries and cherries. Round, balanced flavour, medium body, fresh finish with fine tannins and a pleasant bitter almond note. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, sparkling ruby red with a slight cloudiness. Delicate raspberry fruit, floral notes, slightly reminiscent of elderflower. Light-footed, delicate, refreshing on the palate, well-integrated acidity, very delicate tannins, slightly mouth-watering finish." Falstaff
"A wine with a lovely red fruit fragrance along with juicy flavours of wild strawberry and cherry, demonstrating texture and sapidity. Its herbal edges lend freshness, while nervy acidity lends vibrancy and crunch. Delicious." Decanter

Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2022
Opulent, savoury fruit, plus sage, ginger and thyme. Very soft and rich on the palate, fresh and agile as it progresses until it finally reaches its persistent and mineral final. A terroir wine full of character and complexity. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Colli di Lapio 2022 Fiano di Avellino shows good freshness and fruit quality in a challenging and very hot vintage and is beautiful on both the nose and the palate. It opens with creamy citrus, golden apple and yellow papaya flavours. Mineral tones are gently woven in. The secret of this wine lies in the vineyard's high altitude, with vines planted at a cool 530 metres above sea level on volcanic soils." Wine Advocate
"A fine expression from a warmer year. Peach, raw almond, apricot kernel and a noble quinine bitterness embrace an inherent ripeness. An engaging column of saltiness and a stream of gentle, maritime freshness. Perfect balance, the result. In such vintages, there is always a tendency towards excess. The winners are those who avoid this. Here is an example." James Suckling
"Bright and juicy, with pineapple, peach, blood orange sorbet, pink grapefruit granita, anise hyssop and honeysuckle flavors. Silky on the palate and well-knit, sculpted by lively acidity and a nice push of minerality that shines on the finish." Wine Spectator
"Traces of camomile complement sweet flowers and crushed yellow apples when the Fiano di Avellino 2022 opens in the glass. It is tangy and fresh, with a slightly effervescent feel. Salty mineral tones provide an echo of excitement. Young peach and sage notes linger as the 2022 finishes crisp." Vinous

“Monte Carbonare” Soave Classico DOC 2021 (BIO)
Soave Monte Carbonare is a beautiful, rich and mineral white wine. Complex aromas of apricot, citrus and orange, structured, expansive and fresh in flavour. Good ageing potential and highly drinky - ideally aerate sufficiently before drinking! SUPERIORE.DE
"Elegant, bright straw yellow colour with gold. Elegant, delicate citrus scent on the nose, fine flowers, green apple and a hint of tropical fruit, appears cool. Balanced on the palate, with great tension and beautiful play, stony, sparse and with great length." Falstaff
"The 2021 Soave Classico Monte Carbonare is decidedly savory, displaying notes of crushed rocks and dried flowers that give way to white peach and hints of gingery spice. It sweeps across the palate with a silky, textural wave of liquid florals and ripe pit-fruits, riding along a core of vibrant acidity. Notions of candied lime and saline minerals linger through the long and youthfully tense finale as the 2021 leaves a confectionary air of spice." Vinous
"Charming aromatic profile with a strong fruit centre lined with layers of herbs and nuts. Burgundian, nutty nuances, honey-glazed almonds, lemon curd and a hint of smoke lend the wine charm. Lively, acid-accentuated finish. Beautiful intensity and a great life ahead." Decanter
"Red volcanic iron soils with plenty of black basalt in the centre. Goes well with the later-ripening Garganega, while the screw cap promotes the freshness sought at this address. 6 ha. 60-70 year old vines in cooler sites that are rising to the crème de la crème of top sites as the climate warms. A richer wine than the younger Classico, but without the same cheeky vitality. While the Classico is an unbeatable everyday wine, this is a complex wine that demands food and a little more contemplation. Mirabelle plum, apricot pit, a hint of dried mango and plenty of smoky, sharp mineral grip, with dutiful freshness that has a chewy length. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." James Suckling
"Sixty-year-old plants which, thanks to the soil, in which the presence of black basalt plays an important role, and organic farming, provide a raw material of great crispness. On the nose, notes of lychee, yellow melon, hawthorn and field grass. Iodine-fruity on the palate with a floral 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

“Le Cinciole” Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)
In 1991, Luca and Valeria Orsini gave up their work in Milan to produce wine in Tuscany. Their winery comprises 10 hectares of south-east facing vineyards in Panzano and the wines have been certified organic since 2000. This outstanding Annata opens discreetly on the nose with subtle scents of cherry blossom, heather and roses. On the palate, it is decidedly red-fruited with redcurrants and raspberries, embraced by finely structured, powdery and persistent tannins. It has a beautiful energy and above all lets the true charm of Sangiovese shine through. A real high-flyer in terms of authenticity every year! SUPERIORE.DE
"This is racy with red-fruited character, showcasing notes of dried orange peel, red licorice and chocolate. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and velvety, soft tannins. Supple finish." James Suckling
"The 2020 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Wonderfully pure and bright, the 2020 conveys the essence of Sangiovese in its vibrant red-toned fruit. Sweet floral and spice notes appear in the glass, extending the mid-palate and finish effortlessly. All the elements are so nicely balanced. The 2020 is all class. Give it a year or two to soften. The 2020 spent a year in cask followed by a year in cement." Vinous

“Mantele” Sauvignon Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2020
Sparkling yellow-green. The elegant, floral-scented Sauvignon Bianco Mantele is irresistible with beautiful varietal typicity and a pleasingly slender waistline. Fine mineral notes on the palate give play, overall very juicy and fresh. SUPERIORE.DE
"Elderflower, greengage and lime aromas with a lemon tart character on the palate; fresh and crisp with a grassy finish." Decanter
"Intense bright straw yellow. In the nose gooseberry, sage and ripe stone fruit. On the palate juicy, nice freshness, round and full-bodied, salty and with a long finish." Falstaff
"Classic varietal aromas of elderflower, crushed tomato leaves and citrus come to the fore. The palate is full-bodied with juicy grapefruit, peach, dried herbs and salt, framed by racy acidity." Wine Enthusiast
"The Nals Margreid 2020 Alto Adige Sauvignon Mantele is one of the classic white wines of this winery with exotic fruit, grapefruit and fragrant pear. This pretty wine is fresh and lean, with a good sense of tension and energy. It is the winery's "classic" interpretation of the grape variety, offering a little more structure on the finish. It plays its best cards in terms of mouthfeel. The Sauvignon Blanc vines are planted near the winery and are 40 to 45 years old. They are some of the first vines planted with Guyot in South Tyrol." Wine Advocate
"A ripe and complete Sauvignon Blanc with an amazing complexity of fresh herbs and a hint of passion fruit on the nose. Beautiful textural complexity on the concentrated but only moderately rich palate. Long, complex finish with stimulating herbal and mineral vitality." James Suckling

"This wine comes from my family's historic vineyard. It is a wine that is the result of long reflection, study and experimentation, where nothing has been left to chance: Monte Grande is to be my great Soave wine." Graziano Prà
Monte Grande is the white cru of the house and a blend of 70% Garganega and 30% Trebbiano di Soave of great complexity with ideal ageing potential. Deep bouquet of exotic fruits and rocks with a fine citrus note. Multi-layered and spicy on the palate, intense and sharply focussed, with mineral notes and a pretty salty core. Beautifully crafted acidity, with notes of orange zest and almonds on the long finish. A terrificmasterpiece! SUPERIORE.DE
"Ripe fruit on the nose, from pineapple to gooseberry and a hint of snowberry. Medium-bodied with a gentle honey note competing with stony minerals that colour the finish. A powerful Monte Grande." James Suckling
"A rich petrol note on the nose that underlines the flavours of blood orange, pink grapefruit granita, blanched almonds and white flowers on the palate. The generous, expressive profile of this wine is well tamed by well-balanced acidity and a hint of salinity on the finish." Wine Spectator
"A vivid blend of wildflowers, yellow apples and ground ginger forms a captivating bouquet as the 2021 Soave Classico Monte Grande blossoms in the glass. This is round and supple, with cooling minerality and fresh acidity, adding wonderful lift as ripe pit-fruits and minty herbal tones resonate. A tinge of lime and a salty flourish add lovely punctuation as the 2021 finishes long and staining yet graceful and floral. What a darling." Vinous

“Pithos” Rosso (anfora) Terre Siciliane IGT 2021 (BIO)
Pithos Rosso was fermented spontaneously in the amphora and is a paragon of vibrancy, freshness and elegance. Dried cherries, some leather and spices on the nose. Young and fresh on the palate, lively and yet extremely fragile. A perfectly crafted, mineral and highly unusual red that epitomises gentle biodynamics 100%. Be sure to aerate sufficiently before drinking! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Pithos Rosso is very fresh and exotic, with spiced citrus and incense developing into dried strawberries and sweet smoke. It washes over the palate with pretty inner sweetness and crisp red and blue berry fruit, all driven by juicy acidity. A cascade of inner flowers and citrus tones echo as the 2021 finishes with gently grippy tannins and remnants of spiced blackberry still lingering. A fantastic Pithos Rosso." Vinous
"It's surely one of the island's finest Nero d'Avola wines: bright and wild, it combines scents of black pepper, cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and fresh herbs. Succulent and with lovely fruit sapidity, it's totally drying in the mouth, leaving a fresh earthy, mineral finish which works for rather than against it.

Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2020
On the nose, mineral-tinged black cherry, damp earth tones, autumn leaves and a hint of animal musk. On the palate, strawberries tending towards cranberry, spices with citrus notes, a touch of tannin and pretty red flowers. The wine delights into the sweeping finish, leaving an impression more reminiscent of a Brunello than a Rosso. Simply stunning. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is bright and loaded with a fresh, buoyant personality focused on red cherry, cassis and bitter almond.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 (BIO)
With the 2018 vintage, Camigliano joins the still very small community of certified organic winegrowers in Montalcino. Everything is in the right place here and Camigliano's 2018 edition of Brunello di Montalcino presents the classic vintage in a very appealing form. Accessible early on, it reveals its fruity bouquet with notes of Mediterranean scrub, small red berries and eucalyptus. The palate is then medium-bodied, the primary flavours are beautifully reflected here, its freshness and well-proportioned acidity allow it to dance into a remarkable finish. For us, this is a wonderful (and also very attractively priced) entry into the Sangiovese Olympus of Montalcino, fruit-orientated, graceful and full of character. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium, warm red colour; ripe fruit notes, very appealing; lots of sweetness, juicy, warm, fruity length, off-dry, very appealing." Merum
"Bright, sparkling ruby red colour. Aromas of mint and fine wood, red berry fruit, a hint of tropical fruit, beautiful strawberry, complex, expressive nose. Polished and juicy on the palate, with radiant fruit, already wonderfully accessible, drinks very well." Falstaff
"The bouquet of the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino exhibits an almost candied quality, while sweet roses and medicinal cherries give way to nuances of shaved cedar and pine. This is a medium-bodied and graceful Sangiovese with a bright acidity that gives it an almost juicy character. Hints of strawberry and minty herbs resonate as it finishes only lightly structured but with admirable length. I wouldn't recommend long cellaring, but the 2018 will show wonderfully after just a few years." Vinous
"The Camigliano 2018 Brunello di Montalcino, a certified organic wine, is medium-dark in colour with round and ripe aromas of cherry confit, blackberry tart, black rose and balsamic herbs. The wine is structured and rich. This power deprives the delicate Sangiovese of its long-term potential and instead places the grape in a short or medium-term drinking window." Wine Advocate
"A ripe and full-bodied Brunello with intense notes of cassis, stewed plums and Kalamata olives. Also some grilled herbs. Broad and creamy tannins with lots of rich fruit. Concentrated and full of flavour." James Suckling
"Ripe and opulent, boasting macerated cherry, plum, eucalyptus and iron flavors matched to a muscular structure. Shows beefy tannins that take over on the finish, yet this feels balanced, with a beam of cherry persisting through the conclusion." Wine Spectator
"The nose offers cherries, vanilla and toasted coconut over aromas of leather, flint and redcurrants. On the palate, blackberries and dried cranberries emphasise the cherries, while dusty tannins swim in a dense undertow of chocolate and sambuca. A lively acidity ensures a long, warm finish." Wine Enthusiast

“Dis Cumieris” Malvasia Friuli Isonzo DOC 2021
Beautiful Malvasia with a lot of varietal expression and an impressive potpourri of aromas. Jasmine, pear and white peach develop in the glass, with hints of passion fruit, spices and lime on the palate. Soft texture, very good structure and a complexity that opens up new facets with every sip. The finish is deep and long and, as always, the long yeast ageing time ensures a promising ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Malvasia Dis Cumieris wafts up with a sweetly scented mix of dusty dried flowers offset by sage, nectarine and confectioners’ sugar. Silky yet pure in style, traversing both savory and sweet, this impresses with its notes of vividly ripe green melon traversing sour lime. The 2021 finishes with medium length and is remarkably pretty, leaving tropical inner florals to linger. This perfumed beauty aims to please." Vinous
"A fairly salty and flavourful Malvasia showing lots of Mediterranean herbs and spices, dried lemons, tiles and some creamy spiced apples. Seaweed and iodine flavours on the palate with medium to full body, zesty acidity and a salty finish." James Suckling

“L’Albereta” Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva DOCG 2020 (BIO)
L'Albereta is Alessio Logi's top wine from the single vineyard of the same name, which is also farmed organically. It owes its unmistakable identity, among other things, to its rich, full-bodied texture. Due to the 12-month ageing in oak barrels, it presents itself rich in apricots, honey, cedar wood and toasted almonds. L'Albereta is a ripe and fleshy sunshine wine, flanked by smoke, spices and a delicate cinnamon note on the long and creamy finish. Great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"L' Albereta already hints at its long-term potential, with intricate nuances of saffron underpinning honeydew melon and jasmine. Very refined and harmonious, the ripe acidity underpins layers of fragrant stone fruit, while a salty taste lifts the slightly phenolic finish. It's enjoyable now, but will become much richer and more complex over the next five to 12 years." Decanter
"Seductive mineral floral peach nose; vivid acidity that makes the wine feel exceedingly youthful and dapper, the lingering finish on flavours of elderflower, maquis and spice." Vinum

“Bertone” Pinot Nero dell' Oltrepò Pavese DOC 2020
The first 1,850 Pinot Noir vines were brought to Italy from Burgundy by Count Vistarino back in 1865. Since then, the vinification of this demanding grape variety has been continuously refined over the generations. Today, the Pinot Noirs from the winegrowing dynasty can even outshine much more expensive Pinot Noirs from Burgundy at international tastings. The grapes for the winery's top crus are grown at an altitude of 400 metres, and the high temperature fluctuations between day and night ensure a complexity, precision and elegance that is rarely found even in Burgundy.
Brilliant ruby red colour. Delicately fruity nose of small red berries, coffee and hints of damp forest floor. Subtle and precise fruit on the palate, extremely fine tannins and a long, never-ending mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“RADICE” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco · MAGNUM
Out with the clichés, in with the surprise! The Paltrinieris' most famous Lambrusco growth will also fill every connoisseur with joy. Radice is produced using the Pét Nat method (Metodo Ancestrale) and therefore undergoes a second fermentation on its own yeast after bottling. This naturally cloudy, dry Frizzante already convinces in the bouquet with notes of rhubarb, a fresh citrus note and some bread. The persistent, fine perlage and its drinkynature make it a racy companion to hearty, spicy antipasti, light meat dishes or simply an upbeat celebration surrounded by nature and happy people. SUPERIORE.DE
"Aromas of candied citrus, white peach, and musk melon followed by pie crust and cotton-candy. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a fine bead. Subtle flinty minerality at the end. Lively and aromatic wine." James Suckling
"The extremely elegant Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice 2022 is a pretty pink with orange highlights. It opens with a blend of orange zest, tangerine and cracked slate. A silky bead of bubbles unfolds on the palate, contrasted by a sour burst of citrus, while exotic florals and candied ginger nuances swirl through the nose. A subtle hint of grapefruit emerges on the crisp, refreshing final as the 2022 slowly tapers off. This Radice is a blockbuster. Enjoy it chilled for instant gratification, or let it warm slowly in a large glass with a bowl." Vinous
"A Sorbara vinified in purity never before dared, in a very relevant reading. A nose of wild strawberry and pepper leaf, with floral notes of iris, the mouthfeel is taut, savoury, with a fruity return and length." Luca Gardini

“u Baccan” Pigato Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC 2020
The Pigato grape has great ageing and maturation potential, especially in Liguria. U Baccan (Ligurian: the head) comes mostly from vines of the Russeghine vineyard, which are over 50 years old, produce a very low yield, and give it tremendous complexity.
Intense straw yellow with bright golden-green reflections. Impressive purity on the nose with beguiling hints of sage, thyme, peach, mango, cedar bark, acacia honey and silica. Enveloping, balsamic and mineral on the palate, then a hint of salty almond and candied citrus on the long, vibrant final. A Pigato in a class of its own in finest Riserva quality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium red; some fruit, tobacco; powerful, juicy, good tartness, very pleasant." Merum
"Developed-looking mid ruby with bricky rim. Brooding, complex, deep nose with a hint of Moroccan leather. Generous but not yet fully open fruit, stitched together by gorgeous chewy tannins and ripe acidity. Good medium-term potential." Jancis Robinson

“St. Valentin” Pinot Nero Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2020
Pinot Noir, which originates from France, has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850. The best sites, low yields, accurate care and perfectionism in the cellar guarantee a fine, extremely sensual Pinot Noir with considerable ageing potential. Bright ruby garnet. Delicious aromas of small berries, violets, cloves, smoke and vanilla. With age, the bouquet gains interesting notes of porcini mushrooms and truffles. In the glass, the well-structured Pinot Nero Sanct Valentin shines with finesse, balance, spicy smoothness, fine tannin and a subtly integrated wood note. Pure seduction! SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, medium ruby red. Pronounced bouquet, with aromas of ripe cherry, some blackberry, and a hint of dark chocolate. Polished palate, elegant tannin and precise fruit, into the lingering finish." Falstaff
"A very attractive and aromatic Pinot with notes of fresh cherries, raspberries, dried summer herbs, liquorice and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, round and structured on the palate with firm tannins.

The Slow Wine-Guide, first published in 2010, emerged from the Slow Food movement after they parted ways with the Gambero Rosso publishing house. The well-known Italian wine critics Giancarlo Gariglio and Fabio Giavedoni were able to recruit around 200 experienced tasters for their new project.
The success after more than 10 years proves the editors right, because in all regions of Italy, winegrowers have committed themselves to the Slow Food philosophy and produce their wines mindfully and sustainably in harmony with nature and with the claim to present the territorial identity in their products.
Today, more than ever, it is time to look at wine as a product in the light of advancing global warming. Expert Giancarlo Gariglio comments: "The vine is a very resistant plant, but it cannot resist forever. Every winegrower has to deal with different consequences, be it drought or hailstorms. We have been at a turning point for a long time: to protect the environment and the wine, we need to invest in research and also take ecological measures at the institutional level. It's essential to understand how to respond on the one hand and continue to produce in an environmentally friendly way on the other." And so, more than ever, the issue of sustainability takes on great weight, having always been the brand essence of the Slow Food movement and, by extension, of Slow Wine.
For the current 2023 edition, 1,957 wineries were visited and evaluated, 56 % of which practice certified organic or biodynamic farming. 63 % of the award-winning wines are produced according to organic or biodynamic methods. This year, an impressive 24,500 wines were presented to the sensitive palates of the 200 tasters, among which 787 top wines with an excellent organoleptic profile received special attention. The "Vino Slow" award was given to 386 wines, which present the identity of their homeland to a special degree and are vinified by winegrowers who completely renounce herbicides. The category "Everyday Wines" is filled by 156 wines, which are available in specialised shops for a maximum of 12 EUR thanks to a particularly attractive price-performance ratio.
Good to know: There is no point scoring, but descriptions of the farm philosophy, the vineyard sites and the wines that the tasters particularly liked - in other words: ecological thinking, regional grape varieties and fair prices.
We hope you enjoy this exciting selection, take your time browsing and of course enjoy it afterwards. SUPERIORE.DE
Vino Slow:
Wines that, in addition to their outstanding organoleptic qualities, express the terroir, history and environment of their place of origin. Likewise, their price-quality ratio is right, taking into account the place and time of their production. Only about 200 of the wines tasted each year receive this highest possible rating.
Great wine:
Wines with excellent organoleptic characteristics.
Everyday wine:
Wines with an excellent price-performance ratio that are offered in the trade for a maximum of 12 €.
