Peaches and golden apples on the nose, with some thyme and camomile. Also some salty olives. Full-bodied and full of flavour, with a salty freshness to counterbalance the rich yellow fruit. A wonderfully drinkable white wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Strong ruby garnet, violet reflections and light rim. Correct, delicious, clear, fruity, juicy, spicy, original and yet modern. Beautiful dark berry fruit, delicate herbal spice and a hint of tobacco. This Chianti, from the inventor of Chianti and named after him, is worth every cent of its purchase price. SUPERIORE.DE

This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo fascinates with its flattering bouquet of wild berries and balsamic notes. On the palate, notes of dark berries, dense and soft, juicy tannins and a fine hint of cocoa. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Ilico opens with a burst of crushed blackberries, underbrush and ashen stone. It's silky-smooth with polished red fruits that form beneath an air of inner violet florals. This finishes long and staining yet only lightly structured with a bump of residual acidity that maintains a lovely balance." Vinous

Passerina from Villa Medoro is a delicious, very fresh white wine. The aromas of peach, flowers and mint come together in the bouquet and in the beautifully creamy, light taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Golden yellow with greenish reflections and the sweet aroma of fresh yellow fruit. These wonderfully fruity flavours also come through on the palate. The charming, sweet Moscato d'Asti has a fine mousse and the typical nutmeg flavour on the finish. A pleasure not only as an aperitif. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine is floral with notes of sweet orchid fruit, lemon drops and rosehips. Sweet and creamy on the palate with lots of fruit. Dense and fruity." James Suckling

Wonderfully aromatic, fresh and inviting Rosato from the small family winery. Strong pink to cherry red. Fresh on the palate, with good structure and pleasant mouth-filling, fine acidity, fruity with nice berry and orange notes in the medium-long finish. For us, a perfect companion to Mediterranean fish cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red colour, fresh nose of red fruits and spices. Pleasant flavour: fruity, balanced in tannin and acidity, very lively and crisp. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour. Still somewhat restrained on the nose, of ripe cherry, rosehip and cloves. Opens on the palate with clear fruit and animating acidity, fine, young tannins." Falstaff

"This tightly wound red's chewy tannins maintain a stranglehold on the wild strawberry and cherry fruit. Accents of earth and tobacco add detail, yet the finish feels pinched for now." Wine Spectator

"The nose balances savory, slightly astringent aromas of coffee, soil, pepper and balsamic with sweeter notes of cherries and blackberries. That berry element glows on the palate, but an enduring peppery earthiness preserves the balance. Firm tannins usher the acid into a sophisticated, salty finish." Wine Enthusiast

Light yellow colour, fresh fruit on the nose, inviting bouquet, juicy, fresh and pleasantly lively structure on the palate. A harmonious, refreshingly light-footed and at the same time quaffable wine. SUPERIORE.DE

In Valpolicella, single-varietal wines from the native Corvina variety are becoming more and more common. And Scaia shows a beautiful portrait: light ruby red, mineral notes in the bouquet, plus small red berries and cherries, round on the palate with good freshness. Wonderful to drink. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rather jammy strawberry and raspberry on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with intensity of fruit and some fine tannin that does little to impede the flow. Glass stopper. Good and fruity. Drink now." James Suckling

A wine of refinement and enviable balance, it carries its beautiful concentration and fruitiness without fuss. SUPERIORE.DE

Fresh Falanghina from the heart of Sannio Benevento. Light yellow in colour with fruity and floral notes of pineapple, banana, peach, a hint of pink broom and sage. Balanced and pleasantly smooth on the palate. Very nice as an aperitif and with light dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"On the nose, aromas of sweet cream and white flowers combine with mineral gravel. The 2022 Falanghina Roccaleoni opens with a soft texture, almost creamy, with a depth of ripe fruit and candied lime. The 2022 finishes remarkably fresh and with an admirable length and concentration of citrus fruit." Vinous

"The nose is primarily light and bright, with aromas of citrus, apple and peach, but a dusting of wild herbs adds nuance. On the palate, notes of honey and nuts compliment the apple element well, while a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt emphasize the herbaceousness to preserve balance." Wine Enthusiast

A well-proportioned bouquet with a spicy flavour and aromas of light flowers. The palate is medium-bodied, with lively acidity and good length with a slightly salty finish. Pecorino is a wonderful and always fresh accompaniment to savoury vegetable dishes and white meat and seafood. SUPERIORE.DE

On the palate, silky in texture and distinctly tasty with the pepper notes from the bouquet mingling with salty minerals and lively acids. The finish is long and fruity with a hint of liquorice. A delicious food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cherry bright, fresh and lively with a whoosh of sweet paprika spice. Juicy and scrumptious. Very much a 'drink-me' wine." Jancis Robinson

"A nice, casual young Valpo here with fresh cherries and berries. Light, clean and straight through. No tannin to speak of." James Suckling

Deep ruby red colour with a violet hue. Clean, intense and persistent on the nose, with notes of red fruits, blackberries and sour cherries. Full and fruity on the palate, with notes of tobacco and liquorice on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark and tangy, with a lush core of blackberry, mulberry and boysenberry fruit flavors, revealing accents of oolong tea leaf and spiced orange peel. Shows taut, fine tannins that impart a tightly meshed feel, but this is silky and balanced overall, opening nicely on the palate and in the glass." Wine Spectator

"Aromas and flavours of berries and cherries, along with hints of rose petals and fruit tea. Medium-bodied with slightly abrasive tannins and a chalky mouthfeel on the finish." James Suckling
