Pèppoli is an entertaining, very relaxed red wine with a firm fan base. A sparkling, intense ruby colour with a slight garnet hue. The Pèppoli expresses its strong personality through its bouquet of ripe fruit with light mineral accents. The juicy flavour with lively tannins spreads gently yet powerfully across the palate and lingers for a long time. Very easy to drink, very classic and, incidentally, excellent value! SUPERIORE.DE

The triel is a shy bird found in the dunes and sandbanks of Marina di Bibbona – sand-coloured, almost invisible, with large yellow eyes. Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi has dedicated Tenuta Campo di Sasso's only white wine to it: unassuming at first glance, yet displaying great character upon closer inspection. 100% Vermentino from sandy, gravelly soils at an altitude of 50 metres – close enough to the coast for the sea breezes to sweep over the vines every day. Hand-harvested in the cool morning hours, fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, 30 days on the fine lees with daily batonnage, followed by a further two months in steel.

Scalabrone is generous on the nose, yet incredibly fresh. It reveals ripe strawberries with a hint of sweet cream, tropical kiwi and lime. It washes over the palate with ease, carrying notes of ripe red fruits, a hint of melon and a zesty minerality. The finish is long, accompanied by lively acidity and salty minerality. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah is perfectly balanced, making this delicious Rosato one of the most vibrant in the appellation year after year. SUPERIORE.DE

In the vast plain surrounding Bolgheri – nestled between the rolling hills of the Alta Maremma and the nearby Tyrrhenian coast – Vermentino thrives in ideal conditions. The vines benefit from the interplay of sea breezes and warmth, from sandy, well-drained soils and careful harvest at optimal ripeness. Guado al Tasso uses these grapes to produce a precise, clearly defined white wine with a Mediterranean soul and remarkable vibrancy.

In 1940, the Antinori family acquired the Castello della Sala, a medieval fortress in northern Umbria, near Orvieto. Their ambitious plan was to produce white wines of great character and personality from a region that had, until then, been known primarily for its red Sangiovese. Across 140 hectares of vineyards at altitudes of between 200 and 350 metres, on clay-limestone soils with fossil deposits, in a climate cooler than the Umbrian average, Chardonnay finally found its perfect Umbrian home.

Set amongst the hills of Bibbona, where the vineyards of the Alta Maremma overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea, this characterful cuvée is the result of an ambitious project by the Antinori brothers. The name Insoglio is a poetic reference to the spots where wild boars root around in the ground – a symbol of the wild, unspoilt nature of the Maremma landscape. Composed mainly of Syrah, complemented by Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine displays an intense purplish-red colour with violet highlights.

Rissoa is the Italian name for a sea snail, elegantly shaped, which has been at home on the Tuscan coast since the Pleistocene. Depicted on the label, it conveys the most important message: this Rosato is dedicated to the sea. Campo di Sasso lies on sandy and gravelly soils of medium texture, 50 metres above sea level, with the Tyrrhenian Sea always within earshot. Predominantly Cabernet Franc, followed by Syrah. Hand-harvested in the second half of August, in the cool early morning hours. The same meticulous vinification process as for the Occhione: cooling to 8–10°C, gentle pressing of the free-run juice only, fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, 30 days on the fine lees with daily bâtonnage, followed by a further two months in stainless steel.

The name Il Bruciato, literally "the fire", commemorates a historic, catastrophic forest fire on the Guado al Tasso estate: in the early 20th century, a vast area of woodland on the estate was completely destroyed by fire. Ever since, the wine has told the story of this event in a poetic way – and of the reconstruction, which is also a symbol of perseverance, identity and the connection between the landscape and the wine. Since its debut vintage in 2002, Guado al Tasso has used this wine to pursue the idea of an accessible Bolgheri red wine that remains true to its origins and terroir. The vines grow in the immediate vicinity of Bolgheri Superiore, and the wine is vinified with precision and a keen eye for balance.

A classic Franciacorta from the Montenisa vineyards around Calino near Brescia, made from Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and a small proportion of Pinot Bianco. Gently fermented in stainless steel tanks and then matured on the fine lees for around 24 months, it gains elegance and aromatic finesse. Pale straw yellow in the glass with a fine, persistent perlage. Fresh citrus fruits, white peaches, fine brioche notes and a hint of roasted almonds on the nose. Lively and harmonious on the palate, with a creamy texture, fine acidity and a subtle mineral freshness that leads to an elegant, balanced final. A versatile sparkling wine from the Antinori family that shows its class from an aperitif to a refined meal. SUPERIORE.DE

A pure Chardonnay-Franciacorta in the Satèn style from the gently rolling hills near Calino, where calcareous soils and the mild microclimate at the foot of the Alps ensure elegance and freshness. The base wine is fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel before the Blanc de Blancs matures on the fine lees for around 24 months, developing its fine texture and aromatic depth. Brilliant straw yellow in the glass with a delicate, continuous perlage. The bouquet opens with white flowers, citrus fruit, green apple and a hint of fresh almonds. Clear and precise on the palate, with harmonious acidity, a fine melt and a mineral nuance that emphasises the elegant, fresh final. A charming, straightforward Franciacorta that will particularly delight lovers of single-varietal Chardonnay sparkling wines. SUPERIORE.DE

A name that breathes history: since 2011, the grapes for Marchese Antinori have come exclusively from the vineyards of Tenuta Tignanello – the legendary location that lies at the heart of the Chianti Classico between the gentle hills of the Greve and Pesa valleys. Here, where the Medici once walked and where the Antinori family has been realising its visionary wine philosophy since 1850, one of the purest interpretations of Sangiovese thrives on stony limestone soils. The 2022 vintage tells of a summer of extremes – little rain until August, hot spells in June and July. But the old vines proved resilient: even budding, regular flowering, perfectly ripe grapes for the harvest. In the winery's cellars, winemaking was carried out with classic precision: gentle destemming, gentle pressing, one week of fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Ten days of maceration using gentle methods – an extraction that combines intensity with elegant, supple tannins. Natural acid degradation until the end of the year, then twelve months of ageing in French and Hungarian oak barrels, followed by a further twelve months of bottle ageing before release.

26 generations, since 1385 – no other house in the world of wine can boast such an unbroken history. And yet the Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva label is not a museum piece, but a living testament: since the 2011 vintage, made exclusively from the vineyards of Tenuta Tignanello, the estate situated between the Greve and Pesa river valleys, which has shaped 20th-century Tuscan wine history more than any other patch of land in Chianti Classico. 319 hectares, of which 165 hectares are under vine – predominantly Sangiovese, supplemented by small proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

A pure Pinot Noir from the limestone-rich moraine soils around Calino – vinified using the saignée method and aged on the fine lees for at least 24 months. In the glass, it reveals a delicate hint of onion skin with lively perlage. The nose entices with floral notes and crisp fruit: redcurrants, raspberry, red grapefruit, as well as delicate hints of dried blossom and yeast. On the palate, it is dry, precise and fresh; the variety-typical fruit remains prominent and is supported by fine acidity. The finish reveals delicate minerality, juicy berry fruit and a subtle creaminess from the contact with the lees. A rosé with a clearly recognisable Pinot Noir character and an outrageously good blend of sophistication and drinking pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

High above Sambuca Val di Pesa, just three kilometres south of the famous Tenuta Tignanello, rises the venerable Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo – a bastion of faith since the 10th century, where Giovanni Gualberto, the founder of the Vallombrosan order, once lived and died. Here, where wine of exceptional quality was already appreciated around the year 1000, only the finest Sangiovese grapes thrive on calcareous soils with clay content at an altitude of 300 metres. The historical importance of this place is documented in hundreds of volumes in the Florentine state archives – centuries of Sangiovese cultivation and rural life, preserved for eternity.

In 1994, whilst Lodovico Antinori was searching for suitable land to expand his Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, he discovered, almost by chance, the hills of Bibbona that were to rewrite his destiny as a winemaker. What he found there was not just land – it was a revelation. The soils – a complex symphony of clay and the legendary Bolgheri conglomerate – the orientation of the slopes, the salty breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea – —all spoke a different language to the familiar Ornellaia terroir. Too different, too wild, too full of character for a simple extension. And yet too fascinating to let go of.

In the hills of Bibbona, where the vineyards of the Alta Maremma overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea, this characterful cuvée is the result of the Antinori brothers' ambitious project. The name Insoglio is a poetic reference to the places where wild boar burrow in the ground – a symbol of the wild, unspoilt nature of the Maremma landscape. Composed mainly of Syrah, supplemented by Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is an intense purple-red colour with violet reflections. The nose reveals scents of violets and wild berries, interspersed with the characteristic pepper spice and Mediterranean scrub with myrtle and rosemary. Enveloping and fresh on the palate, with polished tannins that create the perfect balance between territorial character and elegant drinking pleasure. A wine with a strong personality from Antinori's Tenuta di Biserno winery. SUPERIORE.DE

The famous Castello della Sala stands on a hill above Orvieto – a medieval stronghold, surrounded by woodland and olive groves, deep in the tranquillity of Umbria. The Marchesi Antinori have owned it for generations; but what made it a wine legend was the first Cervaro della Sala in 1985: a white wine conceived like a red – barrique fermentation, malolactic fermentation, and a long ageing process. Producing a white wine capable of ageing for decades was by no means a matter of course in Italy at that time. But it became one. The winemaking process follows a principle once formulated by Renzo Cotarella and which still applies today: as little intervention as possible. The Castello's winery operates using gravity – no mechanical pumps, no unnecessary stress on the grapes. The harvest begins in the early hours of the morning, when temperatures are still cool. The Chardonnay macerates on its skins for four hours at 10 degrees, then ferments in barriques and matures with partial malolactic fermentation. The Grechetto remains exclusively in steel – it brings the tension that the Chardonnay alone cannot provide. In February, the two are blended together.
