Felline | Racemi

Fascinating wine for every day. The bouquet of ripe wild berries with hints of cocoa and notes of oriental spices continues with its density and softness on the palate and in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Medium-bodied ruby red. On the nose, rich, dark berry fruit, forest floor and hints of chocolate. On the palate, it spreads softly and creamily, flanked by fresh berry aromas and a taut acidity that forms a wonderful harmony with the fruit and tannin. A drop full of character from an almost extinct, autochthonous grape variety. SUPERIORE.DE

Primitivo Felline smells of ripe berries, flowers, figs and sultanas. Its distinctly dense flavour is carried by present but sweet tannins and a fresh, tart plum finish. The classic of the winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a dark core. Initially mingled notes of sealing wax and beetroot on the nose, plus some malt, reverberating with milk chocolate. On the palate with lots of tannin and open-hearted fruit, reminiscent of pineapple, ferruginous, precise." Falstaff

Medium ruby red. Sweet and spicy aromas of raspberry, milk chocolate, red cherry, orange zest and violets. Complex and juicy, with very soft tannins, high but harmonious acidity and beautiful generosity and elegance to the red cherry, salty and floral flavours. A deep, rich yet very clear wine with supple tannins that are wonderfully harmonious after a short aeration. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, strong ruby red. In the nose scent of dark berries, herbs and forest floor. On the palate present, fine tannin, light pleasant fruit sweetness and persistent, spicy final." Falstaff

Top Apulian wine from 60 to 70-year-old vines! Zinfandel Sinfarosa Terra Nera offers a bouquet of overripe fruit and tobacco with a captivatingly fresh yet dense flavour with lovely tannins and good persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark ruby-red centre with a brightening rim. A medicinal nose of iodine and varnish, with preserved cherries. Lush fruit on the palate, with a very juicy finish, well-integrated tannins, harmonious and of beautiful length." Falstaff

"Lots of chile and chocolate character to this medium-bodied primitivo, blending in with clean red fruit to give a tasty palate with velvety tannins and long-lasting interest. From organically grown grapes. Old-style feel to this, but fun to drink now." James Suckling

Great Apulian aroma cinema of black cherries, dark berries, caramel, lovage, leather and toast notes. Just as typical on the palate: full, lush, very concentrated and with multilayered, sweet fruit in the long juicy finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark shining ruby red. Expressive on the nose, of cherry syrup and dried tomatoes, sage and mint, plus fine floral hints. On the palate with a creamy, melting entry, plus plenty of grippy tannin, punchy, savoury on clear fruit on the final." Falstaff

Deep dark ruby with radiant edge. Animating bouquet of red berries, cherries and exotic herbal spices. On the palate a captivating tension between extract sweetness, acidity and a surprisingly cool fruit component, which gives this exceptional wine an impressive personality and elegance. Blindly tasted, this red wine would hardly be identified as a typical Primitivo di Manduria - here the team around Gregory Perrucci has succeeded in creating a great wine! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, bright garnet red. Tender nose, ripe raspberries, some pomegranate. Smooth and round on the palate, unfolds with unexpected elegance, fine-meshed tannin, reverberates for a long time. Falstaff

"Very pale and sweet and charming. Very Pinot-esque – quite different from other wines. Red cherries and ripeness. 2010 saw lots of sirocco and bigger grapes and high yields. Lisa Gilbee admires his courage and experimentation. The fact that the wine was on the skins for so long may have reabsorbed the colour – a technique usually used for Nebbiolo." Jancis Robinson

"Good deep, bright red. Sexy red cherry, iron, violet, earth tones, and Asian spices on the captivating nose, with a mineral component building with air. Sweet and plush but with penetrating, harmonious laser-like acidity really lifting and extending the red cherry, sweet spice, and floral flavors. A beauty, finishing long and smooth as silk; so light on its feet it is almost Pinot Noiresque. This was the first vintage ever of this wine, created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first ever Primitivo made by Felline; it has been made only a second time since, in the 2016 vintage."

Pendolino is originally a Tuscan variety, also known as "Maurino firentino". This pure Pendolino olive oil offers the palate a bitter-sweet symphony.

Only available in very small quantities each year! SUPERIORE.DE

The pure Leccino oil is particularly mild and has a subtle sweetness, which makes the variety very popular and has led to its spread far beyond Tuscany. Leccino trees are strong and oak-like, as we know them from particularly atmospheric groves. Only available in very small quantities each year! SUPERIORE.DE
