Lo Zoccolaio

Characterful bouquet of exotic fruits and flowers, with fine roasted aromas. The taste combines lively citrus fruits and elegant acidity with mineral melting. Lasting, soft texture and pleasant, long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

An opulent Barbera wine with class, with the same high quality equipment, full-bodied and dense with an intense ruby red colour. The bouquet is fruity of blackcurrants, the taste is very rich with a hint of chocolate. The finish is very long and fruity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dense, rich cherry red with purple edges. Typical Barbera in fragrance and colour. Rich and generous fragrance with rich cherry and blackberry scents, chocolate and a touch of leather. Velvety, fleshy palate, again very rich, melting fruit, the tannin gives hold and supports the flow of drinking, with increasing air and warmth slightly liqueur notes, which are an expression of the warm vintage. A wonderfully meaty Barbera that goes well with hearty stews and meat dishes, but also with a good pizza and pasta." Weinwisser

"Barbera from Monforte d'Alba and aged for 18 months in barriques. Crazily heavy bottle! Deep violet crimson. Posh nose of rich sour cherry and a flattering hint of oak. Plenty of plush sour cherry fruit with chewy (oak)  tannins. Very long and hedonistic." Jancis Robinson

"A solid red with blackberries, blueberries and a chocolate character. Medium-to full-bodied, layered and flavorful. Shows structure and length. Impressive." James Suckling

Baccanera is an aromatic Piedmont cuvée made from Barbera, Merlot, Nebbiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the spicy fragrance notes of tobacco, plum and a hint of cloves. Multilayered on the palate with fresh fruit, beautiful structure and well integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark crimson. Peppery, rich dark fruit with top notes of sour cherry and mere hints of oak. Plentiful red and dark fruit on the palate and definitely concentrated, but strikes a good balance with the almost integrated acidity and coating, ripe tannins. A truly hedonistic offering." Jancis Robinson

"Powerful, juicy black fruits nose. Rich and rounded, full-bodied palate with some well-judged oak and a spicy, long finish." Decanter

"Lots of blackberries, blueberries and hints of sandalwood following through to a full body with lots of juicy tannins. A flavorful finish. A serious red that needs two or three years to soften." James Suckling

A modern Barolo: spicy, strong and long, with ripe fruit bouquet and aromas of forest soil, pepper, mint and smoke, in the taste dry, full-bodied, robust, velvety and long. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliant ruby red, in the nose a fully ripe berry bouquet with warm spice, mushroom and cocoa notes. Rich and juicy on the palate with sweet oak wood and lush fruit. Ravera Riserva 2012 culminates in a firm finish, in which the ripe fruit and polished tannins are once again evident. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red. Intense, very typical Nebbiolo scent of the fine kind, fragrant cherry shades, especially wild cherry, in addition sweet tobacco, earthy notes, rose petals and liquorice. Very elegant palate, incredibly juicy with sweet spices and dried red berries. Despite its strength, it shows a certain refinement with silky tannins, piquant acidity and delicate astringency, which gives the wine a peppery freshness and animation. A racy ravera!" Weinwisser

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Perfumed cherry and sweet raspberry with malty notes ad wet, dark earth and spice - perhaps this has seen a little new oak? full sour cherry palate completely filling out the palate, but still a little embryonic. Lots of polished coating tannins framing the ripe, supple fruit. Can already be approached, but a steak should be taken into account. Jancis Robinson

"Aromas of fresh mushrooms, blueberries and plums with orange peel follow through to a full body with layers of ripe tannins and fruit A long and flavorful finish. Loads going on here still. Just starting to come around." James Suckling
