Straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The nose is dominated by notes of white fruit flesh, apples and pineapple, which are well balanced by citrus notes of orange blossom and jasmine. Its fragrant palate is flavoursome with a soft entry and balanced freshness, with a light nutmeg spice on the finish. An extremely straightforward Chardonnay, as we love it, with a cool style, fine salinity and a fruity finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Fichimori is made mainly from Negroamaro grapes with a small addition of Syrah grapes, cold macerated for 5 days at a temperature of 5° C to extract the varietal aromas, colour and softer polyphenolic components. Purple red in the glass with ruby reflections. Opens with a wide and intense bouquet of cherries and strawberries, accompanied by shades of blackcurrant and pomegranate. Connoisseurs drink this refined and extremely fresh interpretation of the Negroamaro grape slightly chilled with starters, grilled fish and white meat. SUPERIORE.DE

The Negroamaro grapes for the extremely delicate Calafuria come from vineyards that stretch along the Adriatic coast in Salento. The region boasts a long tradition of producing rosé wines from Negroamaro, a grape variety that best expresses its potential near the sea. Pale pink in colour, the bouquet has fruity citrus notes of grapefruit and orange blossom and hints of jasmine. Pleasantly fresh on the palate with excellent aromatic persistence and a delicate flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, sparkling apricot colour. Very fragrant and expressive nose of fresh apricots, raspberries and white flowers, also has some citrus fruit, light milk chocolate on the finish. Juicy, clear and accessible on the palate, with a dancing interplay of fruit and acidity, precise, with good length, accessible." Falstaff

"The 2023 Rosato Calafuria is simultaneously energetic and creamy, with a natural balance between tart stone fruit, ripe berries and round, almost smoky notes of candle wax and lanolin. Salty and addictive, I find myself reaching for the bottle again and again. A nice hint of mint lingers at the end. Delicious." Vinous

Dark, rich ruby with violet shimmer. Finely marked, appealing nose with notes of roses and dark cherries, fine spice in the background. Supple on the palate, shows lots of dark berry fruit, opens with polished tannin, fine sweet melting, chocolate in the final. SUPERIORE.DE

Pietrabianca offers a contrast between richness and freshness and seduces with a blend of white flowers, almond paste, wet stone and crushed red pears. Silky and supple, it caresses the palate with an elegant wave of ripe peach and nectarine. Lingers long, leaving a mineral and acidic tension as notes of candied lime fade. Not only is it stunning today, but it has a bright future. SUPERIORE.DE

Charismatic Negroamaro in an accessible and modern style without gimmickry. In the glass, dark lines of blackberries, plums and blackcurrants with generous background notes of chocolate, Indian spices, teriyaki and smoky barbecue sauce. Noble tannins and ripe fruit flavours form a wine that is both contoured and soft and yielding. Masseria Maime is ready to drink at a young age, but can safely mature for another five years or more. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose features an unusual duo of vanilla and dill, with undertones of meat, plums and wood. On the palate, the sweeter notes of plum and vanilla blossom continue, with the woodsy herbaceousness lingering in the background. Relaxed tannins create a round texture." Wine Enthusiast

Light yellow in colour with greenish reflections. On the nose, it captivates with aromas of white peaches, broom blossom and orange blossom; floral and persistent mineral notes are accompanied by sweet hints of hazelnuts and vanilla. On the palate, it is opulent and refined, yet fresh, mineral and of marvellous depth and complexity. One of the great white wines of southern Italy that will continue to develop brilliantly. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of glazed apples, lemon pith, walnuts and light spices. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity and a fresh, fruity character. Creamy and a little nutty at the end." James Suckling

This is how Aglianico from Apulia goes: Star Oenologist Renzo Cotarella and his team impress with their quality offensive in the extremely dense and very complex Bocca di Lupo. Deep dark colour and just as aromas of liquorice, tar, black cherries and berries. Tightly woven tannins and a lively acidity give the wine power and potential for a little eternity. One of the greatest red wines of southern Italy! SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh and harmonious, with a frame of fine-grained tannins creating plush texture for concentrated flavors of ripe black cherry, dried sage leaf, iron and ground anise and white pepper, which echo on the long, sculpted finish." Wine Spectator
