Feudo Maccari

The popular white from Feudo Maccari has recently been promoted to DOC wine and is now called "Olli". Intense bright lemon yellow. It caresses nose and palate with aromatic-floral notes and yellow-fleshed fruit with traces of minty freshness. Energetic, with resilience and expressiveness to the finish, this clear and balanced white from the trendy Sicilian variety Grillo offers exemplary value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Attractive sliced apple and pear with some salt and crushed sea shell character on both the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with spiced pear and a layered finish. Drink now." James Suckling

The Nero d'Avola grapes come from vines up to 30 years old from the Noto region. Animatingly delicate fruity notes of pineapple and raspberry. Round, full and wonderfully drinky on the palate, with beautiful, medium-ripe fruit, spice and a cool, fresh-salty final. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fresh and crunchy rosé with peach, red apple and cranberry aromas and flavors. Medium body. Creamy texture with attractive fruit. Flower, peach and honeysuckle aftertaste. Drink now." James Suckling

"Bright salmon pink. In the nose nuances of pink grapefruit, stone fruit, lightly reminiscent of Mediterranean maquis in the aftertaste. Fresh and mineral on the palate, ends with a salty final." Falstaff

Rich ruby-violet colour, very clear and intense bouquet with strong notes of dark fruits and a hint of violets. Juicy, fresh with lots of ripe berry fruit on the palate. Round, supple and dense with a fruity-salty final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Plenty of crushed mulberry and blackberry aromas with hints of fresh herbs. Medium bodied with medium, round tannins and a delicious finish. Iron-like undertones. Shows a nice balance of light tannins and freshness, as in recent vintages." James Suckling

This single-varietal Nero d'Avola is bursting with dark aromas of berries, black cherry, liquorice and tobacco. Lush and distinctive on the palate with wonderful spicy notes of mint, anise and espresso. Juicy tannin, good length, fine pressure. A very great wine at a very reasonable price! SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark purple with an almost impenetrable core. Boiled down dark fruit on the nose, dried plums, dried fig, slightly animal in the second smell. Gripping in the drink, tightly woven tannin, pithy structure, turns out punchy, shows rustic character, good length." Falstaff

"Feudo Maccari's oak–aged Nero d'Avola is sourced from older vines of around 30–40 years old, from higher plots of the estate's vineyards near Avola in southeast Sicily. After a maceration of around 20 days, the wine is matured in French oak barriques for 10–14 months. The result is a rich, structured and textured Nero d'Avola with cherry and dried fruits allied to fragrant potpourri, wood and chestnuts. It has good intensity and finishes with a bright, pure black cherry and raspberry coulis character." Decanter

"A super elegant Nero d'Avola, offering clear cherries and berries, together with hints of mediterranean herbs and a twinge of dried orange peel. Medium–to full–bodied, silky and refined with lightly firm tannins and a long, well–balanced finish." James Suckling

"Only the best grapes" adorns the label. Expressive, intense white wine from the native Grillo grape, which began its quiet career as the exclusive "house wine" of the Moretti family and even today is only available in small quantities. Strong, bright stalk yellow. Exuberant bouquet of exotic fruits, flowers and flint, fruit-driven soft with a fresh, mineral note in the long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sliced white pineapple, lemon rind, pear, white pepper and sea shell aromas. Some chalk, too. Ginger. Medium to full body, with lovely fruit and a deep underlying character of white pepper and celery salt. Intense finish. Lively and energetic at the end." James Suckling

"Only the best grapes" adorns the label. Dark ruby red, in the bouquet fine notes of dark fruits, herbal spice and delicately toasted wood. Impressive elegance and clarity on the palate, the fruit is always fresh and present, the polished tannins lead this almost Burgundian red into a wonderful final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark, elegant ruby red. In the nose elegant fragrance, many ripe forest berries, delicate spice, noble. Shows itself compact on the palate and with elegant melting, beautiful density, clear fruit, slightly salty in the final with a rich aftertaste, can mature well." Falstaff

"A layered, flavorful red, showing ripe fruit and a linear tannin structure. Medium to full body. Slightly cooked fruit at the finish. A juicy, lightly tannic red." James Suckling

Deep dark, sparkling ruby red. On the nose, an opulent dark red fruit basket, intense and full. Already in the first sip, a depth that is unparalleled in this price range. The heights to which this wine is capable of carrying the connoisseur are nothing short of spectacular. At the same time, it always convinces with an indescribable balance. Maharis is never fat or jammy, but its potpourri of dark fruits, spices, matured leather and a subtle smoky note is always balanced with a surprising freshness and liveliness. The final is long, velvety and richly textured. Great! SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark shining ruby red. In the nose with noble use of wood, fine spice, black pepper and grated black currant, sour cherries, dried flowers in the aftertaste. On the palate grippy and present, with cool fruit core and tight tannin, final on fine salty notes." Falstaff

"This poised Syrah, from alberello vines grown in limestone soils in Noto, has an incredible fragrance of Parma violets, cedar, dark chocolate, balsam, dried cherries and wild strawberries. In the mouth it's concentrated and vertical, showing tons of freshness, floral fragrance and airy delicacy allied to some dark, sapid fruit. Succulent and stony with violet and lavender overtones, then liquorice, black pepper and coffee hints on the long finish, this is such a pretty wine." Decanter

Firraru is Feudo Maccari's latest big hit: a small-production Grillo from black soils characterised by limestone, clay skeleton and an iron-rich matrix. Crystal clear yellow with golden reflections. Complex aroma of citrus fruits, fine flavours of vanilla and roasted cinnamon. Fresh and perfectly structured on the palate, with a fine tannin structure and an enveloping, very long flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Firraru from Feudo Maccari is a single-varietal Grillo. Cool and racy, it is beautifully flavoured and produces plenty of juice and body with a differentiated depth. Firmly structured and long, this is probably one of the best Grillo." Weinwisser

"Bright light golden yellow colour. Intense aroma of yellow apple, grapefruit, acacia and orange blossom as well as vanilla and caramel on the nose. Structured and full-bodied on the palate, pleasantly spicy and beautifully melting, very powerful and long final on hazelnuts." Falstaff

"The smoky, tropical flavours are joined by a hint of herbs, and in the mouth the excellent acidity drives the fruit through a structured, full-bodied expression of the variety. Lemon, apricot and citrus peel are underscored by plenty of black pepper and a certain creaminess, leading to a long and savoury, spicy finish. Give it a few more months to allow the wood to integrate further." Decanter

"Lots of crushed oysters, dried flowers, flint and matches. Hints of vanilla. Full-bodied, but very energetic. Crunchy. Notes of liquorice and aniseed." James Suckling
