Veronelli

Pure Montepulciano from the San Lorenzo vineyard: garnet red in colour with almost black reflections. Sweet autumnal spices, mint and cedar wood on the nose before revealing its core of medicinal cherry. Silky and smooth on the palate, it delights with its ripe red and blue fruits, while the tannins slowly build up towards the end. In the long and lightly structured final, notes of tangerine mingle with blueberry peel and chalky minerals. San Lorenzo is incredibly pretty and has a beautiful harmony and balance. SUPERIORE.DE

Rosso Piancarda is intensely flavoured and perfumed, with medicinal cherries and raspberries complemented by dusty roses and sweet cedar wood notes. On the palate, Piancarda turns to the savoury spectrum. Salty and full of savoury minerality, it shows spicy red fruits, a hint of plum and a lively acidity that keeps the expression fresh. The grippy tannins remain until the final, while the notes of sour citrus fruits and tart berries slowly fade away. SUPERIORE.DE

Concentrated ruby red with garnet-coloured reflections. The wood contributes very slight hints of roasted coffee to the predominantly black cherry and berry aroma. Full and very intense flavour of dark berries, very slight hints of violets and plums, the compact tannins are supported by balsamic notes, with fine liquorice tones in the finish. The harmony that this powerful and already delicious Aglianico hints at today will only fully come into its own after a few years of ageing in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

San Vincenzo with its nuances of fine herbs, which combine with the aromas of peach and almonds, conquers the palate with a firm, optimally structured, fresh flavour. It finishes long and full of character. And last but not least, the San Vincenzo impresses with its favourable price! SUPERIORE.DE

Dreamlike Barbera, dedicated to the last work (La Luna e i Falo = Young Moon) by the writer Cesare Pavese. This wine symbolises the connection to the earth and to one's own origins. Dark purple in colour. Complex aromas of dark red, plump, juicy cherries, fine spices, plums and black forest berries on the nose. Polished, dense and very fruity on the palate. Present but silky tannins, finely enveloped by the fruit, rich in finesse and persistent with a first-class acidity structure. SUPERIORE.DE

An opulent Barbera Superiore with class, with an equally high-quality finish, full-bodied and dense with an intense ruby red colour. The bouquet is fruity with notes of blackcurrants, cherries, chocolate and blackberries, the flavour is very deep and full-bodied, with a long, fruity finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Dolcetto d'Alba Augenta is another outstanding wine from Giorgio Pelissero. Rich, voluptuous and enveloping, it offers generous dark red fruits, spices, leather and liquorice, all enhanced by a short ageing period in wood. Expressive with good intensity and maturity and a good finish. Has enough complexity and structure to harmonise with almost anything at dinner. SUPERIORE.DE

Baccanera is an aromatic Piedmontese cuvée made from Barbera, Merlot, Nebbiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Noble, dark garnet colour with a delicately brightening rim. Notes of tobacco, plum and a hint of cloves on the spicy nose. Complex and very delicate on the palate with fresh fruit, beautiful structure and well-integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

The volcanic soils of Monte di Colognola give Monte Ceriani a mineral framework, a symmetrical matrix of flint and phenol in which the fruit flesh is deeply embedded. White pears, almond cream, white peach and lime. A hint of finely ground pepper. The finest silvery streaks of acidity thread the whole into a glittering carpet of light. Harmonious aroma of citrus fruits, especially grapefruit. Powerful flavour, fresh, long-lasting and accompanied by a wonderful almond/peppery mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

This fabulous cuvée of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet comes from Querciabella's Maremma vineyard. A charming bouquet with notes of tobacco and leather, which then give way to ripe fruit. The harmonious flavour is delicately fruity, intense and fresh. SUPERIORE.DE

Rich and dense ruby red colour, open and accessible aroma with beautiful blackberry fruit, black cherry and spice, light tea notes in the background. The flavour is also beautifully fruity, reminiscent of ripe, dark cherries, with well-proportioned tannins and a round finish. More classic Vino Nobile for this price is simply not possible. SUPERIORE.DE

This Moscato from Molise is quite extraordinary and rich in flavours. A marvellous bouquet of figs, apricots and candied citrus fruits, delicately creamy on the palate, with well-balanced sweetness and a hint of tingling acidity. The finish is long and dense, leaving a flavoursome but lively mouthfeel. SUPERIORE.DE

Strong, bright ruby violet. Appealing nose with rich notes of blackberries, dark cherries and plums. On the palate dense, sturdy tannin, builds up multilayered, juicy and gripping, profoundly long. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red colour. Harmonious interplay of fruit, barrel and spice flavours on the nose, hearty and engaging on the palate, reminiscent of dark fruit, violets and spices. Despite its seriousness, the final is full of warmth and elegance. As always with the completely organic-certified winery: top value. SUPERIORE.DE
