Dario Raccaro

Full-bodied and elegant Cabernet Franc in sparkling ruby violet, with very dark berry aromas and typical spice and hay notes. On the palate, lots of fruit and grippy tannins with a natural, fruity-sweet core. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense, very elegant bouquet of apple and almond, an extremely complex fruit on the palate; fresh, powerful, rich and with beautiful citrus-fruity length and mineral vein. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Friulano Rolat 2021 is remarkably pretty and floral with a sweet herbal note reminiscent of peach, yellow flowers and lime zest. The bouquet is both spicy and sweet, with glycerine textures. A core of candied citrus provides a nice contrast. A salty note lingers on the crisp final as the mouth waters and hints of sour melon slowly fade. This fabulous Friulano from Raccaro is already running on all cylinders, but has a balance that will carry it over the medium term. Well done." Vinous

"Raccaro has made wine in the heart of the Collio since 1928, producing bottlings of place and beauty ever since. Aromas of apricot, white peach and magnolia spill out the moment you pull the cork. The focused palate dances between showing off the intense minerality of their vineyards and the vibrant fresh fruit flavors that drive the wine. It finishes with balanced acidity, keeping each sip fresh." Wine Enthusiast

Elegant, complex and rich is the single-varietal Malvasia from the house of Raccaro. Pleasantly fragrant of broom and iris and with the typically strong and persistent aroma of the grape variety. Salty on the palate, spicy in the final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Gravel, candied lime and sweet smoky notes introduce the 2021 Malvasia. A tension develops on the palate, echoed by zesty citrus and fruit, complemented by a sweet spiciness towards the end. It finishes with an airy freshness as nuances of sour melon and mint slowly fade." Vinous

"This wine is one of the standard bearers of Malvasia in the Collio. Elegant aromas of white peach, jasmine, magnolia, crushed rock and fresh herbs all ebb and flow with each whiff of the glass. Pine and fresh herbs meld with fresh apples and apricot on the palate, with layers upon layers of ever-evolving flavors. This wine also ages super well, so give it a try." Wine Enthusiast

Here comes the new single-varietal Pinot Grigio from one of our absolute favourite winemakers for years. In addition to his Friulano vineyards, Dario Raccaro has been cultivating a small vineyard planted with 100% Pinot Gris vines in Guyot training for many years. Since the 2022 vintage, he has been selling just 2,000 bottles of this fine wine and we are delighted to have received an allocation. Pale straw yellow in colour, with a fine, floral bouquet with traces of flint and white smoke. Well-structured on the palate, soft and flowing, very velvety and deep at the same time, a masterful interpretation of Pinot Gris! SUPERIORE.DE

Refined and rich, Raccaro's cuvée of Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Ribolla Gialla and Friulano smells of pear and Mediterranean herbs. The ravishingly balanced taste coats the palate with long-lasting flavours, sweet melting and delicate acidity. A great wine with a lot of potential! SUPERIORE.DE
