Coltibuono's Cetamura is initially pleasantly striking with its rich ruby hue. Besides aromas of ripe cherries and wild berries, hints of spices appear, the solid taste is delicious and hearty. A nice drinking pleasure for every day. SUPERIORE.DE

The fresh, supple and very drinkable Casa Boschino is made from a similar blend of grapes as the Cerviolo, the star of the San Fabiano house.

Very beautiful aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and Indian-like spices, full-bodied and with fine tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright, luminous ruby red. Very symphatic fruity nose of strawberries and small wild berries, notes of pepper, violets and liquorice.

"Floral, cherry nose with mineral nuances. Gentle grip of tannin, ripe fruit with a spicy finish." Decanter

Strong ruby garnet, violet reflections and light rim. Correct, delicious, clear, fruity, juicy, spicy, original and yet modern.

As the name Sasyr should tell us, this wine is a blend of Sangiovese and Syrah. Only 15 percent of the Sangiovese matures for six months in large oak barrels, the rest comes from stainless steel. Sasyr is a fresh and harmonious red wine for many occasions. SUPERIORE.DE

This fresh Rosato takes its name from the "Crete Senesi", a landscape created by erosion, which is only a short distance from the winery. Pale pink in colour with a scent of red grapefruit with red berries and spices on the palate and a slight saltiness on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The pephas a clean-toned bouquet in which fruits such as peach and pear clearly stand out. The fresh, spicy, slightly mineral taste is pleasantly dense, very appealing and taut. SUPERIORE.DE

Vin Ruspo means "stolen wine". Originally, the vineyard workers took a portion of the young must every year to drink as refreshment during and after work. Strong, sparkling rosé.
