Donnachiara

Pure Falanghina with a rich bouquet of aromas of yellow melon and ripe apricot. On the palate just as fruity and round. Delicious and balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

"A dry and firm falanghina with sliced-apple and cooked-pear character. Medium body. Fresh finish." James Suckling

Fiano di Avellino with a seductive scent of white spring flowers, peaches, almonds and a very light smoky note. On the palate round and fresh after tropical fruits and spices, beautiful minerality in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A tightly knit white, with a racy backbone of acidity and an aromatic overtone of fresh chive blossom accenting the mouthwatering range of apricot, Meyer lemon peel, pineapple and chalk flavors." Wine Spectator

"Lots of stone, white pepper and bitter lemon aromas and flavors. Medium body, oily palate and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

Very pretty and rich Greco di Tufo with aromas of flowers, almonds, peaches and tropical fruits. On the palate with good structure and finesse. The full-bodied taste delivers notes of ripe apricot and pineapple, honey and smoke, perfectly balanced by the refreshing acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"A tangy and fresh greco with lots of sliced-lemon, lime, mineral and stone character. Medium body. Bright acidity. Vibrant and textured finish with lots of flavor." James Suckling

The pure Aglianico presents itself very well: clear, fresh, clean, with accents of exotic herbs and red fruits, in addition a harmoniously flowing, full-bodied taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"A smoky note up front underscores the baked cherry and dried fig fruit on the palate of this medium- to full-bodied red. Accents of cured tobacco and spice linger on the finish, firmed by well-knit tannins." Wine Spectator

In the nose very appealing aromas of dried tropical fruits, white flowers, spices and a delicate nutty note. Full and round on the palate, supported at the same time by a certain acidity and a beautiful freshness. In the long final salty-mineral notes. An exceptional piano with great potential for maturity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of limes, lemons and rosemary follow through to a full body, tangy fruit with lively acidity and lots of flavors. Some smoke. White pepper. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

The strictly selected grapes of this Greco in Riserva quality come from the Santa Paolina vineyard. The wine matures 12 months on the fine yeast and only 3,300 bottles are sold in selected specialist shops and restaurants. Brilliant light yellow with golden reflections. In the bouquet yellow fruits such as apricot and peach, in addition grassy-herbal notes. On the palate full and round, with a subtle creaminess, very complex and spicy. Despite its opulence and fullness of flavour, it is precise and fresh and has a wonderful ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is my first taste of this new wine from Donnachiara. The 2017 Greco di Tufo Aletheia takes a cheerful and carefree approach to the Greco grape with citrus fruit, pear, white melon, honey and crushed mineral. The wine is transparent and luminous in appearance with a fresh, simple and forthcoming delivery of aromas. A selection of the best fruit from the Santa Paolina vineyard with tufo-rich soils is used. No malolactic fermentation was allowed, and the wine is sharp and extra crispy as a result. Some 3,300 numbered bottles were made." Robert Parker

"This boasts beautiful nectarines and peaches, not to mention grass and fresh herbs. Full-bodied and intense with oily complexity, yet tightly wound and tangy." James Suckling

A wine that captivates with charisma and disarming depth. Aroma of delicate fruit, chalk and cigars. Aristocratic and long in taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich yet well-cut red, with bright acidity and fine tannins backing pure blackberry, cassis, briar and tar notes. The long finish opens up with hints of savory herb and earth." Wine Spectator

"This Taurasi, made from Southern Italy’s noble Aglianico grape, unfolds with earthy aromas of tilled soil, black fruit and flint. The palate delivers a core of tight black cherry, tobacco, white pepper and smoke notes along with big velvety tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"A wine with lots of juicy fruit and a spicy, lightly toasted oak character. Full and flavorful. Why wait?" James Suckling
