Are you ready for the most extraordinary red wine in Italy, made from Garganega, Trebbiano toscano, Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Teroldego, Croatina, Oseleta, Sangiovese and Marzemino?

Harlequin – vinified only in the very best vintages – is an oversized and ultra-modern wine that is a real blockbuster with its flavours, intensity and power. Sit back and let this wine take you on a long journey of black midnight fruits, exotic spices, toast and tar. You can't recognise the individual grape varieties, but that's not the point of this production. Instead, it focuses on the boldest and most memorable aspects of each grape – flavour, texture and power – and blends them into a whole, which is then multiplied by a factor of 10. It's an all-encompassing experience from the first glass to the last. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a subtly brightening rim. On the nose sultanas, rum pot, dried figs, fresh walnuts, black cherries, precious wood. On the palate with a rich use of wood, compact tannins, lots of melting and grip, comes back to latte in the final, very long." Falstaff

"Aromas of coconut, dark cherries and balsamic. The tannins are condensed and elegant, with a full body, a dense palate and refreshing acidity. Completely modern style, yet precise and with the potential to age." James Suckling

"Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Zýmè 2016 Harlequin is vintner Celestino Gaspari's top-shelf wine, and it's one of the most powerful editions we've seen so far. This is a syrupy and inky wine with black nuances and plenty of ripe fruit. The wine is so extracted it actually tastes resinous and sweet like maple syrup or Port wine. There is a lot to take in. Only 3,500 bottles were made." Wine Advocate

"Another super blend that allows Celestino to explore a wide range of territorial specialities. 16 grape varieties, mostly red, then 30 months in oak, great complexity on the nose, notes of blueberries, hints of herbs, nutmeg and menthol. Salty and ambery, with a spicy finish." Luca Gardini
