Umbria

The trademark of the winery - balance and finesse. The Rosso Riserva from the very good wine year 2012 shines with notes of blackberries and black cherries as well as spicy and tobacco accents in the bouquet. The complex taste is deep and juicy with a perfect tannin texture. SUPERIORE.DE

"A deep, earthy red with some balsamic vinegar character, but also plenty of ripe plums and figs, the finish rich and supple." James Suckling

Impressive Chardonnay from Orvieto after the French model: Rich, beautifully balanced bouquet with notes of kumquats. On the palate yellow stone fruit, graphite, minerals and a delicate vanilla note. This fresh white wine is already today elegant, balanced, full-bodied and persistent on the palate, the further bottle ripening will round it off completely. SUPERIORE.DE

Sparkling straw yellow with green reflections. Complex nose of grapefruit, flowers and yellow tropical fruits. On the palate then fresh acidity, underlaid with a fine salt vein, then mineral after flintstone. It marches tightly and freshly into a complex, long finish. An intellectual white man who leaves little to be desired. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant lemon yellow; very intense, rosemary, resin, green legumes, also yellow fruity, makes curious; balanced, fruity, raw, green peas, resin, fullness, aromatic, very intense, but not opulent wine." Merum

"This wine completely redefines the trebbiano grape! Fresh aromas of rosemary, sage and lavender, but also an amazing depth of citrus, sliced pears and pineapple for this grape. The palate feels more like a top Alto Adige white." James Suckling

A classic, but not simple red from local traditional vines: currants, cherries and spices in the fragrance, fleshy and complex on the palate. A true jewel, rich in finesse and graceful, if you give him - especially in his youth - a little patience. Ideally ventilate for three to four hours. SUPERIORE.DE

"A seriously tannic but surprisingly elegant sagrantino with delicate herb and licorice notes, as well as maturing, ripe red fruit. Good length, if not much excitement at the finish." James Suckling

Deep violet-red colour, with hints of juniper berries, tar, smoke and liquorice on the nose. Montefalco Rosso Riserva offers a lot of juiciness and brings an attractive combination of elegance and structure, rich aromas and polished tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose shows lots of mocha, brambleberries, plums, spice box, cloves, cinnamon and a hint of orange rind. A full but very well-structured palate with beautiful acidity, tannins that are polished but don't hold back and a long finish." James Suckling

Deep violet-red colour, with hints of juniper berries, tar, smoke and liquorice on the nose. The 2010 Montefalco Rosso Riserva offers plenty of juiciness and brings an attractive combination of elegance and structure, rich aromas and polished tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2010 Montefalco Rosso Riserva is an excellent wine that delivers both power and grace. This achievement should not go underestimated. It is easy for Montefalco Rosso (a blend of Sagrantino and Sangiovese) to show muscle, brawn and enormous structure, because those qualities come in abundance - especially with Sangrantino. It is far more difficult to deliver harmony and this wine does exactly that. Dark fruit nuances are followed by spice, barbecue smoke and black licorice." Robert Parker

For many years Castello della Sala has supplied one of Italy's most famous white wines, the Cervaro. In recent years it has become ever fresher and deeper, without the conservative, broad stylistics that older late harvest editions of this wine have left behind. In the bouquet apple compote, cream, notes of oak bark and peach. On the palate full of tropical fruits with a fine acid vein and precise mineral component. A long-lasting, beautiful white wine and every year one of the most sought-after white crescencys of the wine world. SUPERIORE.DE

"Thanks to the warm conditions of the vintage, the 2017 Cervaro della Sala takes us back to a time when this wine was denser, more extracted and packed with glycerin-rich fruit flavors like apricot and peach. Of course, the Antinori family has since moved beyond that style, most notably by tweaking the oak regime used on this wine. But the thickness and richness of the fruit in this dry and hot vintage takes us back in time with a hint of sweet nostalgia. This wine is fresh and spicy with stone fruit, mature apricot, honey, saffron and toasted almond." Robert Parker

"This is big and powerful, without being ripe and heavy. So much apple, stone, and hints of toffee. Aromatic. Full-bodied, layered and framed with phenolic tension and a great finish. Muscular and agile at the same time. One of the best I have tasted." James Suckling
