Tuscany | Chianti

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

Vernaiolo is one of the oldest members of the Rocca delle Macìe family and has always been the winery's most traditional example of Chianti. Its name derives from the Latin vernāle, meaning "of spring", indicating the time of year when the Chianti was bottled after it had survived the winter. Even today, this lively, ruby-red wine is ready to drink in the spring after the harvest and retains its fresh and fruity characteristics for a long time.

Fruity red with lots of dried berries and a hint of dried flowers and a touch of milk chocolate. Medium body, round tannins and a fresh finish. Delicious and very enjoyable. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sweet-blackberry and orange-peel aromas with a medium to light body, fine tannins and a fresh finish." James Suckling

Fresh, fruity Chianti with a lot of esprit and drinking flow. Smells of cherries and red currants, harmoniously round on the palate with lively acidity and well-dosed tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"A firm and layered red with blackberry and fresh-mushroom aromas and flavors. Some dried flowers, too. Medium to full body, round yet chewy tannins and a fresh finish." James Suckling

Light straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, some grapefruit, white flowers and freshly cut grass - the addition of a few percent Sauvignon Bianco gives it aromatic intensity and a certain depth. A sparkling white that finishes cheerfully with a light citrus note, making it a perfect terrace wine - solo or with light antipasti served cold. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh pears, green apples and hints of stones and jasmine on the nose. A medium-bodied and textured Vermentino with notes of lemon zest and a clean, pithy finish. Elegant." James Suckling

Strong ruby red. Fresh aromas of sour cherry, violet, lavender and some cedar.

A delicious food companion for every day. SUPERIORE.DE

Light pink colour and fresh aroma of cherry, strawberry and raspberry. Fine and fruity in the mouth, but also with good structure and persistence - it combines the aromas and elegance of a white wine with the structure of a young red wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Chianti Biskero by Salcheto is a juicy, open and cheerful drop. Black cherries and plums merge with sweet spices and dark, earthy notes. SUPERIORE.DE

Floral bouquet of acacia flowers and lemon blossom with fruity notes reminiscent of exotic fruits and yellow-fleshed peaches, citrus peel in the background. Warm and round on the palate with a fresh and persistent finish, animating drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

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

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, and the citrus notes in the beautiful final are also very appealing and taut. SUPERIORE.DE

A fine and extremely affordable little Supertuscan from a very good house. Ruby red, it spreads a pleasantly fresh scent of red berries. Its fruity taste is round, very harmonious and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

"An expressive and fruity wine made from sangiovese and merlot full of red cherries, redcurrants, berries and nutmeg. The palate is crunchy and medium-bodied with soft tannins and juicy red berries. Pristine, medium-long finish charged with berry fruit." James Suckling

The wines of La Badia have their clear style: Clean and traditionally vinified, they always give great pleasure. Intense ruby red, the bouquet with notes of forest fruits and spices, the full-bodied taste of the Roberto Stucchi is wonderfully smooth, the acidity well balanced and the finish clean and long-lasting. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Chianti Classico RS Cultusboni is a dense, powerful wine. Black cherry, cloves, scorched earth and licorice show the darker side of Sangiovese. There's good depth, even if at times the 2020 feels a bit heavy and monolithic." Vinous

Bright ruby red, open-hearted notes of cherry, raspberry and violet, paired with green pepper and cloves. Delicate on the palate, with a nice draw. Delicately fine tannins, lively supported by a fresh acidity framework with subtle extract sweetness, round off the immensely authentic and juicy Tuscan experience. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Chianti Classico is bright, floral and fruity, giving it great immediacy. Crushed flowers, cedar, tobacco and mint play with a core of vibrant Sangiovese fruit in this charming, mid-weight offering from San Felice." Vinous

"The 2021 Chianti Classico proves to be a versatile wine and a fundamentally food-friendly choice with lots of purple and blue fruits with hints of fragrant wild rose. The wine supports medium weight and lots of fresh acidity to cut through cream or butter-based cooking ingredients." Wine Advocate

Balanced Chianti Colli Senesi with abundant sweet cherry and plum aromas matched by spice and tobacco notes. Assertive tannins and a taut acidity make the Berardenga a complex version of the Senesi. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Chianti Colli Senesi is bold, powerful and super-expressive. Cedar, tobacco, leather, dried herbs and perfumed earthy undertones give the 2020 its distinctive aromatic profile. This mid-weight, layered Colli Senesi has a ton to offer. The purity of the fruit comes through nicely, especially with air. It's Colli Senesi, and yet the creaminess of the finish is a tell-tale sign of a high-quality year." Vinous

"A seductive nose of plums, wild raspberries, fresh cherries, sage, pine cones, white pepper and musk. Medium-bodied with finely knit tannins. Creamy and soft finish." James Suckling

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. Fruity, floral nose, fresh on the palate with good acid wire and a melting texture that makes this wine an excellent food companion or sun-drenched soloist. A sophisticated drop in its own right. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dusty rose and crushed stone give way to freshly sliced green apples as the 2022 Rosato di Carmignano opens in the glass. This soothes with its round textures and crisp orchard fruits as yellow citrus nuances add contrast toward the close. The 2022 leaves a crunchy sensation through the finish, tapering off with tension. A lemon rind concentration puckers the cheeks." Vinous

Medium cherry red. Tobacco, leather and liquorice on the nose, with a beautiful cherry aroma on the palate, supported by good acidity and tannin structure. Excellent Sangiovese interpretation with great value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lifted, peppery berries with some red plums and flowers. Juicy and light- to medium-bodied on the palate with fresh, firm tannins." James Suckling

"Deep ruby. Black pepper, dark cherry and damson and a touch of wet forest floor with savoury, minerally touches and tobacco leaf. Old school and captivating. Tangy cherry with supple tannins. This is completely ready now, and you will catch it in the attractive phase it is in right now for the next two years, but it will age longer." Jancis Robinson

"A juicy, vibrant red with raspberry, mulberry, cherry, sage, lemon and spice-box aromas. Medium-bodied with lightly chewy tannins and fresh acidity. Crunchy and energetic." James Suckling

Pale yellow with greenish reflections. Starts delicately, floral and fresh, with aromas of citrus, some pineapple and banana, then subtle acidity, a great lightness and lots of character. SUPERIORE.DE
