Wonderful, energetic Vermentino with a small part of Petit Manseng, which gives it freshness and "crunch". Surprises on the nose with grapefruit, rosemary and a hint of mirabelle plum and thyme. On the palate, honeydew melon, peach, Mediterranean spices and in the convincing final, hints of citrus fruits and white pepper. SUPERIORE.DE

"Baked apples, apricots, orange zest and honey on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with a ripe, fleshy palate. Dense honey and orange fruit notes." James Suckling

Juicy and, for the grape variety, relatively low-acid red from almost exclusively Sangiovese. Dark berries on the nose, mainly cherry and cassis, some oyster shell. The taste is full and well structured. This inexpensive and very precise red ends softly and with nicely integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Black berry, black cherry and black olives on the nose and palate. Some herb and earth undertones Full-bodied, medium round tannins and a delicious finish. This will age nicely now but will continue to improve." James Suckling

Fresh nose with citrus notes and dark red berries. On the palate complexity meets fresh acidity, tobacco and spicy notes. Very individual interpretation of Sangiovese, the harmony is impressive and its middle weight and ever present freshness make for a nice drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep ruby red with a beautiful sheen. On the nose some plum, black cherry with slightly animal notes. Fleshy and taut on the palate, very powerful and harmonious. Not an off-the-peg wine, but a stormy, tomboyish and gripping Cabernet with good length and a powerful finish. Not for elegance drinkers, but rather a crisp, opulent food companion that leaves nothing to be desired, especially with game dishes. Be sure to aerate it sufficiently! SUPERIORE.DE

The special thing about London Dry Gin is not only the typical, natural juniper note, but also the strict production specifications. The botanicals (fruits, herbs and spices), which are usually (and also here) top secret, must be added before distillation and artificial flavours have no place in this product. The additional ethanol added must be exclusively of agricultural origin, so that it can rightly be claimed that a London Dry Gin is produced according to a strict purity law.

The Italians - and also the people behind Frank & Serafico - firmly believe in the old adage that Italian food and drink celebrate the genius of nature, not the person who prepared it. They represent an unbridled desire and passion to gently capture the scent of the herbs of Tuscany's Maremma in their gin, alongside the classic juniper, and reflect it as authentically as possible. This is done using a traditional distillation process at low temperature (max. 70°C) to protect the aromas as much as possible.

The result is a London Dry Gin that, in addition to all its typicity and class, also carries an exciting Maremma component that makes it an extraordinary experience to drink. SUPERIORE.DE
