Dieser Schiava hat ein typisch fruchtbetontes Bouquet nach Kirsche, Himbeere und Erdbeere. Am Gaumen fruchtig mineralisch und von fester, schlanker Struktur. Ein frischer Begleiter für jeden Tag. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Schiava grape produces softly contoured and delicate red wines that offer a mild texture and lean appearance not unlike a traditional Pinot Noir from Burgundy. The Peter Zemmer 2019 Alto Adige Vernatsch Schiava opens to aromas of wild raspberry, rose, lilac and white licorice. The wine's smooth and silky mouthfeel and its fresh berry flavors call out for some homemade fried chicken. With 14,000 bottles made, you get terrific value." Robert Parker

Tiefdunkelrote Farbe, schöne Fruchtaromen nach Kirschen und reifen, dunklen Beeren. Im Geschmack ausgewogen, komplex, dicht, finessenreich und mit seidenen Tanninen. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubin. Jugendliche Nase nach frühreifen Kirschen und Walderdbeeren, leicht vegetabil, im Nachhall zart pfeffrig und würzig. Am Gaumen sehr saftig und mit jungem Tannin, knackige Frucht, hohe Trinkigkeit, in ein paar Monaten noch kompletter, toller Speisenbegleiter." Falstaff

"The Fattoria le Pupille 2019 Morellino di Scansano is a bright and lively value wine that trusts its basic identity to cherry, dried raspberry and some wild bramble or rosemary essence. This is a lean and sprightly red wine that boats the freshness and intensity of Sangiovese along with the wild fruit and blue flower sensations that are most often associated with this mighty Tuscan grape. I could see a happy pairing with oven-cooked pasta or lasagna." Robert Parker

"A red with plum and cherry character, as well as hints of terracotta and rust. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tangy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. This is always a good, go-to red."James Suckling

Konzentriertes Rubinrot mit granatfarbenen Reflexen. Zum überwiegenden Kirsch- und Beerenduft steuert das Holz ganz leichte Anspielungen von Röstkaffee bei. Voller und sehr intensiver Geschmack nach dunklen Beeren, ganz leicht nach Veilchen und Pflaumen, die kompakten Tannine werden von balsamischen Noten getragen, im Nachhall feine Süßholztöne. SUPERIORE.DE

"Of the many value reds offered by this estate, the 2015 Aglianico del Molise Riserva Contado is my favorite. The wine delivers the power and density that is attributed to this fabulous red grape, followed by warm-vintage aromas that are exuberant and generous. You get black cherry and blackberry preserves followed by light baking spice. This is a full-bodied wine that achieves careful balance." Robert Parker

"Aromas of blue fruit and wet earth with a hint of lavender. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish." James Suckling

Der strohgelbe Somereto duftet fruchtig und intensiv nach reifer Banane und anderen tropischen Früchten. Am Gaumen voluminös und sehr nachhaltig mit angenehmer Säure. Ein moderner Cosmopolit mit schöner Kraft. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Chardonnay Somereto pleases with a mix of ripe yellow apple, subtle spices, and lifting floral tones. It’s textural and perfectly balanced, playing tart orchard fruits and minerals against juicy acids that create a push and pull of sour and sweet. A salty twang of citrus frames the experience nicely, ending clean and remarkably fresh." Vinous

"The 2019 Alto Adige Chardonnay Somereto is a true charmer. The wine delivers some of the mild creaminess and textural smoothness that comes naturally to Chardonnay (outside any oak regime), and that pretty, mid-weight fruitiness is especially compelling in this vintage. Somereto is refreshingly crisp, mineral driven and fruity. Simple winemaking is completed in stainless steel with a brief six months of lees contact. Indeed, this is a beautifully naked expression of the grape, from calcareous, reddish clay soils and a cool climate at 260 to 380 meters above sea level. The finish is citrusy, acidic and fresh. You get tremendous value here." Robert Parker

"A fruity, straight-up chardonnay with sliced cooked apples, burnt lemon sand hints of pie crust on the nose and palate. Medium to full body. Some smokiness on the finish." James Suckling

Helles Rubinrot. Bric del Salto interpretiert auf direkte und klassische Art die berühmte piemonteser Rebsorte. Fruchtiges Bouquet verbindet sich mit der für Neive typischen Würze. Am Gaumen wiederum klar, mit präziser Frucht, der richtigen Dosis feinen Tannins - und über allem liegt eine begeisternde Frische. SUPERIORE.DE

"The well-priced Sottimano 2018 Dolcetto d’Alba Bric del Salto opens to a lean appearance with a light garnet color. This comes as a surprise, as Dolcetto tends to delivers much darker colors and richer saturation. The Sottimano house style embraces elegance, grace and fragility. These goals are achieved effortlessly here, and again, the big surprise is that the exuberant and freewheeling intensity of the Dolcetto grape can be harnessed so effectively to reveal understated aromas of wild cherry, crushed stone and balsam herb. I recommend you buy this wine by the case, not the bottle. This is a lot of fun at low cost." Robert Parker

Fontanabianca hat hier einen eleganten und dicht verpackten Barbera geschaffen. Er zeigt den Überschwang und das Potenzial der Traube bei dennoch angemessener Zurückhaltung. Er ist weder marmeladig oder zu fruchtig, sondern verwöhnt mit einer feinen Dosis getrockneter Kirsch- und Pflaumenaromen, dazu etwas spanisches Zedernholz mit feiner Zitrusnote. Ein ausgewogener Tropfen mit schönem Finale. SUPERIORE.DE

"A lightly fruity red with berry and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body. Easy finish." James Suckling

"The Fontanabianca 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a lovely wine with a darkly saturated side contrasted against a more contained and elegant mouthfeel. Those qualities make this wine a perfect candidate for a restaurant steak and potatoes. You get all the vivid brightness of the bouquet, with wild cherry and blackberry, with a good dose of refreshing acidity that cuts through the fat in your favorite foods." Robert Parker

Mediterra mit einladenden Aromen von Paprika, roter Johannisbeere, Salbei und schwarzem Pfeffer ist rund und harmonisch am Gaumen mit schöner Frucht und Würze, ein perfekter Speisenbegleiter. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubingranat. In der Nase im ersten Anruch leicht grasig, dann nach Himbeeren und Stachelbeeren, weißer Pfeffer, im Nachhall nach Schwarzen Ribiseln, braucht etwas Luft, um sich einzupendeln. Am Gaumen druckvoll und mit klarer Frucht, spannt sich leicht würzig über die Zunge, schöner Körper." Falstaff

"The 2018 Mediterra is Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (in almost equal parts with just a little more emphasis on the richness of the Syrah). This is a versatile and very well priced Tuscan red that prizes softness, the richness of its mouthfeel and the ripeness of its blackberry and cherry aromas. Those warm fruit tones cede to mild spice, light tobacco and tilled earth. The wine is bright, bold and charming in thanks to its accessible style." Robert Parker

"The 2018 Mediterra, Poggio al Tesoro’s entry-level wine, is terrific. Fruit, floral and enticing, this mid-weight offering has plenty to give. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years, while the flavors remain vibrant. A burst of red berry fruit, blood orange and spice lingers on the mid-weight finish." Vinous

Intensives und klares Bouquet, würzig und nach Rosen duftend. Am Gaumen schöne satte und aromatische Frucht, aber auch funkelnde Säure, die dem Wein Spannung verleiht. SUPERIORE.DE

"High perfumed with some apricot to the almond and smoke undertones. Rose buds. Medium to full body and creamy texture with some oily sensibility on the palate." James Suckling

"The Cantina Andriano (Kellerei Andrian) 2019 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer shows fragrant tones of star jasmine, summer peach and sweet almond blossom. As the wine opens in the glass, you also get some licorice and aniseed. It offers a mid-weight approach with some distant sweetness that is carefully folded into the wine's plush, mid-weight texture. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and ages on the lees for a brief six months." Robert Parker

Helles, aufhellendes Granat, sehr klares Bouquet mit betont frischen Fruchtnoten nach Beeren und Rhabarber, am Gaumen elegant mit wohldosierter Kraft, geschmeidigem Tannin; saftig, anhaltend und lang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Coconut and hazelnut aromas mingle with ripe, dark-skinned berry aromas. Reflecting the nose, the tight palate offers toast, licorice and blackberry jam alongside tightly knit, drying tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"A compact, minerally version, with tobacco and smoke notes leading to flavors of dried cherry, pomegranate, coffee and spice. Medium-bodied and fresh, with grippy tannins that should integrate well with short cellaring." Wine Spectator

"Luminous red. Aromas of flinty red berries, red cherries and minerals have a bright floral overlay. Then very good inner-mouth perfume too, with exhilarating lift to the red fruit and stony flavors. The finish is long and clean, nicely framed by suave tannins and harmonious acidity." Vinous

"Aromas of lemon, watermelon and black cherries follow through to a medium body, firm, silky tannins and a solid, bright finish. Tighter style to this." James Suckling

"The 2017 Etna Rosso is a terrific entry-level red wine from the Sicilian volcano that boasts the power and electric charge that I associate with wines from this fascinating territory. If you are new to the wines of Etna, this Rosso is a great place to start. This is a well-made and carefully shaped Nerello Mascalese that ushers forth smaller berry fruit, smoke and pencil shavings. The fruit is pure and precise. The wine's overall presentation is sharp and accessible." Robert Parker

Ein Nebbiolo für Puristen. Im Duft Kiefernharz, Trockenfrüchte und ätherische Gewürze. Am Gaumen finden wir neben süßer Pflaume viel saftige Kirsche, dazu robuste Gerbstoffe und eine feine mineralische Säure. Dieser Tropfen verlangt nach einem kräftigen Speisebegleiter und ist in dieser Kombination ein großer Genuss! SUPERIORE.DE

"Really polished and balanced with berries, cherries and spices. Hints of walnuts. Medium body. Creamy finish. A smoky note comes through." James Suckling

"The Fontanabianca 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo shows a bright and tonic vibe that makes this a good choice for dinners at home with the family. The wine is open and approachable with lovely aromas of wild cherry, crushed flower and soft ferrous earth. The mouthfeel is lean and those Nebbiolo tannins are silky and satiny." Robert Parker

Leuchtendes Rubinrot. Sehr lebendige Nase nach hellen Beeren und schwarzer Johannisbeere mit süßlichen, würzigen Komponenten. Knackige, aber dennoch ausgewogene Säure am Gaumen mit einem rassigen Mix aus frischer Frucht und süßer Extraktwürze. Ein kühler, aber sehr authentischer Vertreter seiner Art, der nie mehr vorgibt, als er ist, aber genug mitbringt, um einer der finessenreichsten Rossi des Jahrgangs zu sein. Es ist de facto ein sehr gelungener Wein von einer erfreulichen Reinheit mit dem klaren Bekenntnis zur Appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Val di Suga 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant and fun red to pull out for your next veal or vegetarian lasagna. The wine is teeming with bright berry fruit with wild raspberry and cherry. Showing balanced acidity and a snappy, lean-bodied style, this is textbook Rosso. There is a note of candied cherry and sweet spice on the close. This vintage marks significant improvements since I last visited this wine. You get good value." Robert Parker

Leuchtendes Gelb-Grün. Reife Pfirsiche, Aprikosen, Mineralien, Rauch, Nougat und Honig eng verwoben im Duft. Schön proportioniert, intensiv, cremig, dabei von schöner Leichtigkeit und Eleganz der Geschmack, in dem das Fassholz meisterlich integriert ist. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's a great chance to make a platter of that Marche favorite, olive ascolane, or fried olives stuffed with meat. Sporting a modern and contemporary spin on the highly traditional and local Verdicchio grape, Umani Ronchi's 2017 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Plenio opens to a luminous golden color with a rich, mid-weight texture. This wine sees its fruit sourced from the historic Cupramontana vineyard located at a breezy 400 meters in altitude. Forty percent of the wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks, and the rest goes into stainless steel and cement. Hot-vintage fruit produces aromas of dried peach, pear and toasted almond." Robert Parker

"Aromas of fresh almonds and picked lemon zest with note of dry white peach. Subtle oak, very nicely integrated." Decanter

SoloSole ist ein westtoskanischer Vermentino in Reinkultur und glänzt mit einem reichen, gehaltvollen Geschmack sowie einer schönen Würze und Säurekraft. Ein charaktervoller und tiefgründiger Weißer aus der vornehmen DOC Bolgheri und einer unserer absoluten Favoriten. SUPERIORE.DE

"Strahlend helles Strohgelb. Schüchterne Nase, nur sehr zarte Blume gepaart mit filigraner Zitrusfrucht. Öffnet sich am Gaumen mit knackiger Frucht, sehr zartem Schmelz, leicht salzig, mit Nachdruck, guter Speisenbegleiter." Falstaff

"Long, refreshing and creamy, with layers of concentrated gooseberry, grapefruit, melon, apple and mint, finishing peachy and steely." Decanter

"I'm a huge fan of refreshing Vermentino from Coastal Tuscany, and some of the very best expressions are brought to us by the talented winemaking team at Poggio al Tesoro. The 2019 Bolgheri Vermentino Solosole is just the ticket for your beach picnic or your boat tour of the coast. This Vermentino opens to tangy and crisp aromas with citrus, white peach and spicy saffron. Dig a little deeper and you get salty mineral notes and a touch of wild sage. This wine is elaborate and textured, with creamy lean-bodied appeal." Robert Parker

"The 2019 Vermentino Solosole shows the richer side of Vermentino, as always. At the same time, there is plenty of energy and nuance. Tangerine oil, apricot and perfumed floral notes build effortlessly in the glass. Solosole has been one of the most distinctive Vermentinos on the coast since it was first released. The 2019 is another fine edition." Vinous

Borrigiano ist eine bezaubernde Cuvée, die eine ideale Ausgewogenheit aus feinem und abgestimmten Holzeinsatz und frischer, lebendiger Frucht ins Glas bringt. In der Nase ein interessantes Beerenaroma und etwas Pflaumenkonfit. Für uns ist Borrigiano ein idealer Begleiter geselliger Abende und milder Pastagerichte oder Risottos - er zeigt dabei auf liebenswürdige (und bezahlbare) Art und Weise das große Potenzial der aufstrebenden Kellerei. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is the first wine from Il Borro to be made under the Valdarno di Sopra appellation designation (the first vintage made was 2015), and the wine's name Borrigiano means "inhabitants of the Il Borro hamlet." The 2018 Valdarno di Sopra Borrigiano is a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah that sees a brief period of cold maceration followed by ten months of aging in large oak casks. The aim here is to keep the freshness of the fruit intact, and this goal has been readily achieved. The bouquet opens to forest berry aromas with raw plum and fresh prune. This is a terrific wine with a confident, pure and easy-drinking appeal that is nothing short of charming." Robert Parker

Elegante Cuvée mit würzigen Aromen von schwarzer Kirsche, Pflaume und weißem Pfeffer sowie einem erdigen Unterton. Klar im Geschmack mit Anklängen an Brombeere, die Frucht dabei immer sehr fein, schöne Würze, darunter Sternanis, sehr abgerundet. Endet mit Eleganz und einem Hauch Zitronenschale. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Mamertino is a unique wine that represents a DOC wine appellation in Milazzo (in the northern tip of Sicily) that gets very little use as far as I can tell. The traditional blend is Nero d'Avola and Nocera, and the wine is easy in approach and execution. There's nothing too complicated here—just fresh cherry and blackberry followed by earthy tones and some subtle mineral or sea breeze nuances." Robert Parker

"Very inviting from the outset with notes of dried blueberries, raspberry cheesecake and dried nutmeg. Medium-bodied, soft and elegant. Quite tense but juicy tannins." James Suckling

Rosso dei Notri ist ein solider, konzentrierter Tropfen mit Biss und Kraft, der mit seinem fleischigen, lang anhaltenden Geschmack, der angenehmen Gesamtharmonie und dem vernünftigen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis jede Menge Freude bereitet. SUPERIORE.DE

"Kraftvolles, leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase ansprechende Noten nach dunklen Beeren, frisch und kraftvoll. Am Gaumen viel geschmeidiges Tannin, feinmaschig, baut sich gut auf, langer Nachhall, saftig." Falstaff

"The 2018 Rosso dei Notri is an absolute delight. Once again, it is one of my favorite wines in the range. Fresh and fruity, with plenty of Suvereto fleshiness, the Rosso is such a gorgeous wine. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar and dried flowers add aromatic nuance to a core of red Sangiovese fruit." Vinous

The 2018 is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Aimed at younger drinkers, it's intended to be immediately approachable: only 10% of the wine spent time in oak, and not for very long, so the emphasis is on a fruity, accessible style. The nose is delicately balanced between dark blackberries, blackcurrants and bright red berries. Juicy flavours and vivid acidity give a nice freshness to this medium-bodied wine. Decanter

"The 2018 Rosso dei Notri  is a very fresh and tonic red that surprisingly comes from fruit harvested two weeks later than normal. And Merlot is not always happy to stay on the vines for longer than it has to. It's a fruit-forward wine that was aimed more at freshness instead of concentration, making it a good pair for a simple margherita pizza. You get terrific value here." Robert Parker

"Aromas of chocolate and dark fruit with hints of blackberries, cherries and hazelnuts. Medium body, fine tannins with hints of herbs and dark fruit, and a lovely finish." James Suckling

Sangiovese in Reinkultur: Strahlendes Rubinrot. Reich an fruchtig-blumigen Aromen, vielschichtig, kräuterig, tief und von gutem Schliff mit weiterem Entwicklungspotenzial. Ein körperreicher und harmonischer Chianti-Classico von höchst authentischer Machart. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubingranat. Eröffnet mit feinen würzigen Noten, etwas Kardamom und Thymian, dann reife Kirsche und Himbeere. Stoffig und zupackend am Gaumen, zeigt dunkle Beerenfrucht, öffnet sich mit griffigem, dichtem Tannin." Falstaff

"The Fèlsina 2018 Chianti Classico Berardenga is a toned and delicate expression of 100% Sangiovese from a vintage that produced beautifully subtle and understated wines. It shows good momentum driven by dark fruit, blackberry and summer cherry. The intensity of these aromas is downplayed and rendered less pronounced, adding elegance and fragility. Pretty background notes of spice and balsam herb add an extra layer of complexity." Robert Parker

"New leather, camphor and blue flower are some of the aromas you'll find on this bright, fragrant red. On the medium-bodied palate, vibrant acidity and taut tannins surround cassis, Marasca cherry and tobacco notes." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2018 Chianti Classico Berardenga is endowed with so much class. In 2018, the Classico is a bit more restrained than it can be. That mid-weight sense of structure, though, gives the wine quite a bit of early appeal. Even so, I would cellar the 2018 for a few years, as all the elements haven't fully come together just yet. Dark cherry, game, smoke, licorice and earthy notes are a reminder we are in Castelnuovo Berardenga, even if the 2018 has less weight and overt power than Fèlsina fans are used to seeing." Vinous

"Perfumed and fresh with cherries, cedar and hints of dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a long, direct finish. Really lively and fresh. Very typical for a top Chianti Classico." James Suckling

Cognos Nascetta wird aus der gleichnamigen autochthonen Rebe gekeltert, der man eine Verwandschaft mit der Vermentino-Traube nachsagt. Das Bouquet erinnert an Wiesenblüten, Aprikosen und weiße Pfirsiche, auch am Gaumen eben diese faszinierend harmonische Aromatik mit Eleganz und Frische. Ein außergewöhnlich gutes Geschmackserlebnis! SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of white peaches, dried flowers and hot stones follow through to a medium body, creamy texture and a fruity finish. Dry at the end. Fun for this grape type. Nicely done." James Suckling

"A wine that always turns heads, the Elvio Cogno 2019 Langhe Nascetta del Comune di Novello Anas-Cëtta is a mid-weight, glycerin-rich white made from an indigenous grape that is rare and dear to the region of Langa. There are aspects of this wine that remind me of the Arneis grape (another local favorite). The wine's smooth and creamy mouthfeel is one element shared between the two. So are those aromas of honey, white peach, pear and acacia flower. Aged in both stainless steel and botte grande, this wine has the textural richness to pair with white meat and even a few red meat dishes." Robert Parker

Elegant der komplexe Siri d'Jermu mit beachtlicher Konzentration, im Bouquet reife Erdbeeraromen und leichte toastige Noten. Feinkörniges Tannin, im Abgang eine frische, saubere Frucht mit Anklängen von Haselnuss. Ein großer, muskulöser Dolcetto und Archetyp seiner edlen Denomination! SUPERIORE.DE

"There is an extra dimension to this red, with fine depth to its raspberry, cherry, currant, mineral and anise flavors. It's fluid, yet well-structured too, with a light astringency offsetting the fruit on the long finish." Wine Spectator

"Showing a medium dark appearance with a saturated garnet color, the Pecchenino 2018 Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu is a vibrant and exuberant wine. It shows those fun and food-friendly characteristics that make Dolcetto such a popular choice in the best taverns and mom & pop restaurants of the Langhe. The bouquet is very primary in character with blackberry, Morello cherry and sour plum. There is nice freshness here to cut though lasagna or wood-oven pizza." Robert Parker

"A dense, beautiful Dogliani with licorice and berry character and hints of hot stones. Delicious, juicy finish." James Suckling

Mittleres Rubinrot. Im Bouquet eine Veilchennote mit zarten Anklängen an Vanille. Am Gaumen druckvoll, frisch und sehr präzise mit einer dominanten Frucht und viel Energie. Im mittellangen Abgang dann eine feine Würze. SUPERIORE.DE

"Il Borro's 2017 Pian di Nova is a well-balanced wine with the softness and savory character of the French grape framed by the racy acidity of the Tuscan variety. This was a hot and dry vintage; however, the integrity of the fruit remains intact. Perhaps you get a little extra softness and rich concentration on the finish with black cherry, blackberry and soft spice." Robert Parker

"This is really rich and beautiful with so much fruit and soft tannins. It’s full-bodied with round, ripe tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Dried-cherry and black-pepper notes. From organically grown grapes. 75% syrah and 25% sangiovese. Why wait?" James Suckling

Dieser granatrot funkelnde Vino Nobile begeistert uns wohlriechend nach Trockenpflaume und einem Hauch von Zimt und Gewürznelke. Am Gaumen viel präsente Frucht, feiner, süßer Schmelz im langen Nachhall. Ein authentischer und angenehm eleganter Bio-Wein aus dem Herzen des Montepulciano-Gebietes. SUPERIORE.DE

"The organic 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers a delicate embroidery of red fruit, pressed violet and potting soil. There are subtle highlights of dried orange peel and iron ore as well. This pretty wine prizes fruit purity and simplicity. It offers a naked interpretation of this noble appellation without distractions or too many bells or whistles. The wine is light and streamlined on the palate, but there is enough tannic power to carry it over a meal of pici pasta and rabbit ragù." Robert Parker

"Salcheto checks a lot of boxes. The winery is powered by renewable energy, water waste is 100% recycled, there are no added sulphites during vinification and the entire production is certified organic and packaged in light weight bottles. Above all, the Nobile tastes delicious. It is clean and immediately appealing offering complex cedar, earth, tea and balsamic nuances atop forest fruit. Full-bodied and full of character, it is rich yet fresh and seductively textured with polished tannins. A great success for this challenging vintage." Decanter

Strohgelber, nach Bananen und weißen Blumen duftender Chardonnay mit frischem, herzhaftem Geschmack, knackiger Fruchtfülle und schöner Länge. Einer der großen Weißweine der Toskana! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Fèlsina 2018 Chardonnay I Sistri very much reflects the mild vintage and represents a slight departure from some of the past editions we have seen. This is a silky and more delicate rendition of barrique-aged Chardonnay with soft tones of yellow rose, honeysuckle and sweet almond. The wine hits a moderate intensity threshold in which the smaller details are given more prominence. Ash, aniseed and crushed mineral appear. This is balanced, mid-weight Tuscan Chardonnay with lots of cooling freshness on the finish." Robert Parker

"A serious white with sliced cooked apples and cream with some pie crust. It’s medium-to full-bodied with delicious fruit and a very enticing finish." James Suckling

Text folgt in Kürze. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 In Violas is a bold, savory wine. Dried cherry, leather scorched earth, licorice and lavender add savory overtones to this firm, brooding Merlot." Vinous

"Black olives and berries on the nose and palate. Full body. Round and juicy with a flavorful finish. Shows focus and beauty." James Suckling

"The Poliziano 2016 Cortona Merlot in Violas pours from the bottle with a dark and thickly concentrated appearance. The wine opens to rich fruit, plum, blackberry, rosemary essence and a touch of dried mint. The tannins show some fine texture or graininess on the close, but the richness of the mouthfeel washes smoothly over any rough edges. This wine has the depth and width to pair with a succulent steak in cream and pepper sauce." Robert Parker
