Even with the entry-level wine, Morisfarms does not deviate a bit from its usual quality standard, which has delighted us with its consistency for over 15 years now. Freshness and relaxed drinkability are the strengths of the Rosso Maremma with its earthy fruit bouquet of cherry and plum and its spicy notes in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Mandriolo is a gorgeous, entry-level offering. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, mint and sweet pipe tobacco are pushed forward. This tasty Maremma red is sure to be a crowd-pleaser." Vinous

Coltibuono's Cetamura first catches the eye with its rich ruby colour. In addition to aromas of ripe cherries and forest fruits, there are hints of spices and the solid flavour is delicious and hearty. A lovely drinking pleasure for every day. SUPERIORE.DE

"Notes of red and purple fruit with cocoa, nutmeg and bark on offer. Some licorice, too. Medium-bodied with steady acidity and dry, polished tannins. Attractive and savory fruit character." James Suckling

The Chianti Colli Senesi from Fattoria del Cerro is a dark, lively wine with beautiful fruit, minerality and leather aromas on the nose. Pleasantly round and balanced on the palate. A drinkywine with a certain demand. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fruity and fragrant red with aromas of cola, cherries, hibiscus and chocolate orange. Fresh, with a medium body and easy tannins." 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

As always, the Rosso from Cerro is good and very drinky. Smoky, spicy and chocolate notes in the pleasantly fruity aroma, typical of the grape variety, juicy and persistent flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano is impossible to ignore, with a sweetly scented bouquet of violets, lavender, allspice and wild blueberries. This is soft and supple with ripe wild berry fruits and juicy acidity. It leaves a coating of gentle tannins and a blackberry flourish, tapering off mildly spicy and with medium length." Vinous

"Spicy and fresh red wine with notes of mushrooms, white pepper and red berries. Clean, medium-bodied and slightly grippy." James Suckling

Wonderfully aromatic, fresh and inviting Rosato from the small family winery. Strong pink to cherry red. Fresh on the palate, with good structure and pleasant mouth-filling, fine acidity, fruity with nice berry and orange notes in the medium-long finish. For us, a perfect companion to Mediterranean fish cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

Strong ruby garnet, violet reflections and light rim. Correct, delicious, clear, fruity, juicy, spicy, original and yet modern. Beautiful dark berry fruit, delicate herbal spice and a hint of tobacco. This Chianti, from the inventor of Chianti and named after him, is worth every cent of its purchase price. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red colour, fresh nose of red fruits and spices. Pleasant flavour: fruity, balanced in tannin and acidity, very lively and crisp. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour. Still somewhat restrained on the nose, of ripe cherry, rosehip and cloves. Opens on the palate with clear fruit and animating acidity, fine, young tannins." Falstaff

"This tightly wound red's chewy tannins maintain a stranglehold on the wild strawberry and cherry fruit. Accents of earth and tobacco add detail, yet the finish feels pinched for now." Wine Spectator

"The nose balances savory, slightly astringent aromas of coffee, soil, pepper and balsamic with sweeter notes of cherries and blackberries. That berry element glows on the palate, but an enduring peppery earthiness preserves the balance. Firm tannins usher the acid into a sophisticated, salty finish." Wine Enthusiast

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

Racy, elegant and very authentic Rosso di Montepulciano, slender and feminine, with the flavours of ripe red cherries and good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour with a violet hue. Intense and multi-layered nose, showing notes of ripe sour cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants, with hints of violets and cloves on the finish. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with soft tannins and a long finish." Falstaff

"A pretty bouquet of bright cherries and pink flowers makes the 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano a real pleasure on the nose. It is juicy and savoury rather than sweet, with hints of wild berries and minerality. A hint of liquorice resonates on the medium-long finish, while the 2022 finishes fresh." Vinous

"Raspberries, chocolate, hazelnuts and bark on the nose. Creamy, fresh and balanced, with a medium body and bright acidity." James Suckling

Bright ruby red, inviting aroma of red fruits. Clear and supple on the palate. Very successful value. SUPERIORE.DE

Grottolo Rosato has a rich pink colour, a delicate red winey bouquet and a juicy taste of wild berries and peach with a pleasantly balanced acidity. Flavoursome and fresh, compact, with a fresh attack on the palate and a beautiful finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, sparkling salmon pink colour. Inviting nose of juicy cherries, redcurrants and meadow herbs. Velvety on entry, with a beautiful arc of tension and precise fruit, supported by lively freshness through to the lingering final." Falstaff

"The 2022 Rosato Gróttolo opens with a pretty blend of rosebuds and young peach. On the palate, it is smooth and round, with crisp acidity and wild strawberry fruit. The finish is remarkably fresh and leaves a hint of bitterness." Vinous

Light straw yellow with golden reflections. 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

The fresh, smooth and very drinkable Casa Boschino is made from a similar blend of grapes to the Cerviolo, the star of the San Fabiano estate. However, its grapes come from younger vineyards, making it available at a sensationally favourable price. Very beautiful aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and Indian-style spices, full-bodied and with fine tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red colour and with a bouquet reminiscent of wild fruits, joined by fresh grass and fine spicy notes, accompanied by a hint of cedar wood. Its taste is wonderfully round, harmonious, full-bodied and rich in silky tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red colour. Spicy with hints of red fruit and a wonderfully subtle woody flavour. Long and persistent on the palate, with iodised tannins, a fruity, tart finish and a floral final. SUPERIORE.DE

Curtain up for a lively Italian Rosato: Bright orange-pink, delicate floral nose with hints of small red fruits. Delicate fresh fruit on the palate, neither ripe nor sweet. Medium-bodied, very straightforward and clean, with lively acidity, delicate melting and a respectable finish. This single-varietal Sangiovese Rosato clearly stands out from the average wine for the swimming pool. SUPERIORE.DE

Filippo Baldassare Fanti produces a round, supple Rosso with his Sassomagno from predominantly Sangiovese and Merlot. Cleanly vinified, intense in aroma and flavour, with slightly vanilla-like aromas, gentle tannins and pleasant acidity. An excellent drinking wine and also an accompaniment to typical Tuscan grilled dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Slowly, the bouquet of this Sangiovese blend opens to reveal its wonderful scent of red berries and subtle hints of spices. On the palate, a natural concentration, immense softness and harmony, a well-structured tannic information acts as a counterpoint. SUPERIORE.DE

With the Pelofino, Elisabetta Geppetti has created a fruity-spicy cuvée of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Elegant aromas of dark fruits in the bouquet, on the palate wide and with a delicate pressure, yet beautifully balanced. A wine with an excellent price-pleasure ratio. SUPERIORE.DE
