La Segreta, which got its name from the surrounding forests near Ulmo, is a charming cuvée of Grecanico, Chardonnay, Viognier and Fiano. The bouquet is fresh, youthful citrus fruit and floral nuances, always balanced in taste, with style and Sicilian personality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow. In the nose light yellow fruit. Creamy entrance to the palate with a melty body, fruity middle part, pleasant and well integrated acidity in the final". Falstaff

"Fruity aromas of white stone fruit and citrus mingle with a delicate whiff of green melon. Reflecting the nose, the savory palate offers cantaloupe, white peach and juicy citrus aromas alongside tangy acidity." (Best Buy) Wine Enthusiast

"A fresh and very fruity white with sliced cooked-apple, pear and lemon character. Hints of lemon grass. Medium-bodied, layered and delicious. Always an outstanding white from Sicily. Blend of grecanico, chardonnay, fiano and viognier." James Suckling

Fresh cuvée of Syrah and Nero d'Avola. Light and seductive, fragrant with rose petals, pomegranate and wild strawberries, well-balanced and soft on the palate, a pleasantly fruity rosato in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"The slight reduction adds another dimension to the loquat and citrus on offer. Medium-bodied and tangy on the bright palate, which showcases attractive acidity and a fruity finish." James Suckling

A wonderful ruby red with violet reflections, the nose reminiscent of currants, mulberries and raspberries, held together by the scent of cyclamen and musk. On the palate dense fruit, the tannins sweet and lively. A wonderful and authentic Sicilian. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant ruby red with sparkling core. Attractive nose of ripe wild berries, black currants and some Amarena cherries. Harmonious on the palate with fresh juiciness and well built in tannin, slightly salty, drinks easily." Falstaff

Plumbago is a pure Nero d'Avola: rich ruby violet colour, powerful bouquet with aromas of dark cherries, raspberries and some rosemary. Smooth, soft and almost light on the palate, beautiful blueberry note and fine tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby with violet shimmer. Opens with accentuated spicy notes, of cloves and green pepper, fine blueberries. Tannin with fine grain, lots of juicy fruit, very fresh." Falstaff

With a fruity Mediterranean scent of white and yellow fruits and a finely balanced, velvety soft taste, the Alastro seduces. A very aromatic and yet extremely fresh companion for many occasions! SUPERIORE.DE

"Brightest straw yellow. In the nose mineral and reserved, discreet coconut and flint. On the palate carried by superficial juiciness, suspenseful, opens on fine play with lively drink, good length." Falstaff

"Tangy and lemony white with aromas and flavors of sliced green apples and honey. Medium body, creamy texture and a fruity finish." James Suckling

The second vintage of the pure Grillo is an extremely classic Sicilian, aromatic and intense in the nose with notes of pink grapefruit, balanced and complex on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"A round-textured and fruity white with sliced mangoes and apples. Medium to full body. Oily. Volcanic salt. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

Golden yellow, fresh, aromatic muscatel citrus scent, dry and balanced on the palate, with fine notes of elderflower and invigorating acidity. A beguiling round wine with a long final and perfect acidity - for us one of the best dry Moscati wines in Italy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fun muscat with lime, bitter-lemon and mineral aromas. Medium body. Fruity and creamy. Delicious. Off-dry impression." James Suckling

"Packaged in a Riesling bottle, the 2018 Sicilia Noto Allemanda is lightly fragrant and floral. The bouquet offers honey, passion fruit and sweet jasmine. You get authentic Moscato aromas, such as the soapy and musky aromas that characterize the grape, delivered in a dry, accessible and easy-drinking style. This is a great choice to pair next to a spicy snack during those long summer afternoons before dinnertime." Robert Parker

"Enticingly fragrant, this wine offers intense aromas of jasmine, wisteria and citrus zest. Linear and tangy, the elegant, savory palate offers succulent white grapefruit, apricot and Meyer lemon alongside bright acidity. It closes on an energizing saline note." Wine Enthusiast

A pure Frappato has rarity value, because usually the very late maturing grape variety is blended with others. Frappato thrives on the sandy soils of Vittoria in south-eastern Sicily, producing a complex wine of race and character. Flowery bouquet with aromas of cherry and peach, on the palate hints of strawberry, slightly mineral and slender, with an aftertaste of apple and orange peel. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicate, brightening ruby with a fine garnet shimmer. Fine nose with pronounced notes of strawberry, pomegranate and blood orange. Fresh and sparkling on the palate, it also shows fine strawberry fruit, delicately hinted tannin, enjoyed cool an ideal red for hot days". Falstaff

"This delightfully fresh and lively red is the perfect introduction to the frappato grape. The strawberry aroma is delicate rather than loud and the typical acidity and dry tannins of the grape are invigorating rather than challenging." James Suckling

"Bright medium-pale red. Red cherries and berries, plus hints of flint, smoke and flowers add up to a very enticing nose. Then fresh and clean with mineral-accented flavors of red cherry, herbs and red berries. Finishes long with hints of licorice. An outstanding Frappato. Well done." Vinous

The Cerasuolo di Vittoria - an established local red wine with great tradition and just as much peculiarity. Typical scent of Vittoria wines: Aromas of red berries, cherries, prickly pear, ginger and fruit sweets. Tasty, extremely complex, fresh, lively and yet balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

Country Dance (controdanza) is a typical dance in which man and woman face each other and unite in graceful movements - depending on gender, the dancers interpret the music in their own way. This wine is exactly the same: Nero d'Aola and Merlot - opposites attract each other and, with the right empathy, can adjust wonderfully to each other and form harmony and contrast at the same time.

Strong purple. Mulberry and plum contrast with incense and balsamic notes. The grapes all come from calcareous soils, which in turn builds the bridge and makes this young wine balancing and harmonious. Soft tannin and a beautifully integrated delicate acidity carry Controdanza into a smooth, medium-long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Made predominantly with Nero d'Avola with a touch of Merlot, this offers aromas of dark berry, baking spice and underbrush. The savory plate offers black currant jam, vanilla and a hint of green peppercorn accompanied by fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"There’s some good freshness on the nose of this Sicilian red, which offers aromas of raspberries, citrus and boysenberries. Some cloves, too. Full body, plenty of textured fruit and a bright, compote-laden finish." James Suckling

Nocera - this noble vine is cultivated on a few hectares in the province of Messina, on a spectacular vineyard surrounded by the sea. Deep and intense ruby red, original scent of white pepper, geranium and summer fruit. Convincing the typical taste of this old Sicilian grape. An unforgettable experience from the Planeta-Dependance Capo Milazzo on the coast north of Mount Etna. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red. In the nose of fragrant cherries, full of raspberries, rose petals, underlaid with fine spices. Juicy entry to the palate with fresh fruity nuances, spans with grippy tannin, very juicy middle part, in the final light salt with young tannin." Falstaff

"Exotic cherry and spice nose. Lots of personality and interest on the nose. Gorgeous raspberry and blood orange on the palate with fantastic, energetic acidity. Great length and has bags of interest. This begs for a grilled, unadorned tuna steak." Jancis Robinson

"This is bright and vivid with tight and firm tannins that frame beautiful crushed raspberry and blueberry flavors. Medium body. Bright finish." James Suckling

Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Dorilli is named after the vineyard Dorilla, from which the grapes originate and this in turn after the nearby river Dirillo. Fine and elegant with light wood tones from the aging, juicy fresh until the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep ruby. Reticent aromas and flavors of red cherry, smoky plum, botanical herbs and tar. Slightly folded in on itself presently, with an acidic spine and currently tough tannins still showing strong. I’d cellar this for a couple of years to let it show all it has to offer." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Aromas of ripe strawberries and orange peel follow through to a full body, light tannins and a juicy finish. Full of character. Tangy acidity gives the wine an edge." James Suckling
