Der Chianti Colli Senesi von Fattoria del Cerro ist ein dunkler, lebendiger Wein mit schöner Frucht, Mineralik und Lederaromen im Duft. Angenehm rund und ausgewogen am Gaumen. Ein trinkiger Wein mit dem gewissen Anspruch. (superiore.de)

"This is a dense and rich Chianti with berry, chocolate and toasted oak character yet it is fresh and delicious." James Suckling

"Fattoria del Cerro is known for its well-made and consistent wines across the board. The 2016 Chianti Colli Senesi is a base wine with lots of bold personality. The wine is redolent of dark cherry and pressed blackberry. It also shows chewy flavors of spice and candied almond. The wine is short in terms of mouthfeel, but it does offer fleshy fruit fiber." Robert Parker

"This opens with dark berry, cedar and incense hints. The straightforward, savory palate offers red plum, star anise and bell pepper notes alongside round tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Feiner Rosso di Montepulciano mit typisch fruchtig-würzigem Duft und solidem Körper. Er hat genau die richtige Ausgewogenheit, ist vielschichtig, offenbart eine aromatische Frucht und besitzt zudem ein Finale von ordentlicher Persistenz. (superiore.de)

"Vintners across Tuscany marveled at the picture-perfect fruit obtained in this classic vintage. The 2015 Rosso di Montepulciano is executed in both wood and cement vats. The wine is composed of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot, and the first vintage made was 1989. Fruit comes from the estate's youngest vines. It is not bottled at one time. Instead, bottling occurs over six sessions. This is a light and informal red with dark fruit and smoky afternotes. The palate is full and generous. Some 250,000 bottles were made." Robert Parker

"This red opens with ripe plum and cherry fruit, yet it also has a brooding side. Firm tannins provide support, while earth and iron elements add depth." Wine Spectator

"A juicy red with plum and stone character. Medium body and a lightly chewy finish." James Suckling

"Here's a terrific easy-drinking wine from a classic vintage. The 2016 Rosso di Montepulciano offers vinous intensity and pure flavors of blackberry and cherry. The wine offers an excellent quality of primary fruit. The finish is direct and pleasantly intense." Robert Parker

Tiefdunkelrote Farbe, schöne Fruchtaromen nach Kirschen und reifen, dunklen Beeren. Im Geschmack ausgewogen, komplex, dicht, finessenreich und mit seidenen Tanninen. (superiore.de)

"Einladendes Bouquet, Noten roter Beeren, Leder, Unterholz; am Gaumen kompakt, der Abgang frisch-fruchtig." Vinum

"The 2016 Morellino di Scansano is a cheerful and easy-drinking wine to pair with grilled meats or oven-roasted lasagna. The bouquet offers red cherry aromas with grilled herb, black olive and crushed white pepper. This is a fruity and fully loaded wine that offers great value." Robert Parker

"Extremely fresh with fine tannins, cedar and walnut character and dark fruits. Some chocolate. Medium body. Lovely fruit. A very tight and refined Morellino." James Suckling

"Ripe dark cherry, spice, plum and leather give the 2016 Morellino di Scansano its plush, succulent personality. Soft and sensual, the 2016 is a delicious wine to drink now and over the next few years. This is an especially ripe, concentrated style that emphasizes power over finesse. Admittedly, that is a very small critique for a wine at this level." Antonio Galloni

"Nutty oak and ripe cherry. Mouth-filling, ripe, tangy cherry fruit with soft tannins. Hedonistic and finely balanced." Jancis Robinson

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 2016 Alto Adige Chardonnay Somereto falls outside the classic expectations you might have for Italian Chardonnay. This is a light and tonic expression with a high level of inner energy. Its personality is not necessarily subdued, although the wine's performance is understated nonetheless. It does not offer obvious varietal characteristics. Instead, it shows light lemon zest with bitter almond, exotic fruit and tangy papaya. This pretty white would pair with fragrant tomato sauce with fresh basil leaf. This is a highly food-friendly value option." Robert Parker

"This is a steely and fresh white with plenty of sliced apple and stone character. Tangy acidity. Full body." James Suckling

Cognos klassischer Dolcetto Vigna del Mandorlo fasziniert mit einem komplexen Bouquet. Der saftige Geschmack wird von feinem Tannin getragen und zeigt einen herrlichen Bittermandelton im Abgang. (superiore.de)

"Made only in stainless steel, the 2016 Dolcetto d'Alba Mandorlo ferments on the skins for a brief period of just three or four days. Dolcetto hardly ever presents problems when achieving color saturation, so more skin contact is not necessary. Brief macerations also help to avoid the rustic and chunky tannins you can sometimes get with this grape. This is a bright and fruit-forward expression that opens to a deep purplish-black color with cola, cherry liqueur and dried blueberry skins." Robert Parker

"Cogno's Dolcetto d'Alba Mandorlo is once again fabulous in 2016. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, mint, plum and licorice infuse this deeply expressive, pliant, mid-weight Dolcetto. The 2016 is absolutely delicious." Antonio Galloni

Sattes Rubinrot mit violettem Einschlag, der typisch kirschige Geschmack mit Noten von Rosen und Bittermandeln umschmeichelt den Gaumen. Dieser Dolcetto glänzt mit kraftvollem Körper und dem fruchtig-knackigen Abgang. (superiore.de)

"Leathery and tart on the nose with lots of tannic fuzz on the palate. Very punchy for Dolcetto, even considering its youth. Lots of chew on the finish. Substantial and aromatic." Jancis Robinson

"Dolcetto is sometimes considered the ugly duckling of the Langhe. But in a hot vintage such as this, the grape flaunts its inner beauty and charm. The 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba delivers earthy and raw aromas of black fruit, plum and black olive. There are dusty sensations of crushed mineral or granite on the close. The finish offers vibrancy, depth and freshness." Robert Parker

Re Manfredi ist ein Meisterwerk aus der autochthonen Rebsorte Aglianico. Auf seinem Etikett prangt das Wappen des Herrscherhauses von Kaiser Friedrich dem Staufer, der hier zu Hause war. Tiefes Rubinrot, duftendes, intensives und vielschichtiges Bouquet, satte Frucht, robuste Struktur, feine Tannine und saubere, angenehme Bittertöne im Einklang, sehr dicht, elegant, würzig und komplex mit dezentem Holzton. Ein wunderschöner, charakteristischer Roter! (superiore.de)

"Savory herb and olive notes lead the way in this smoky red, leading to a rich mix of dried strawberry, cured tobacco, violet and mandarin orange peel accents." Wine Spectator

"Deep ruby-red. Aromas of black cherry and flowers are strongly marked by camphor and coffee. Thick, dense and youthfully chewy, offering fresh plum, chlorophyll and violet flavors on the long, tactile finish." Ian d'Agata

Einer unserer beliebtesten Prosecco Superiore Brut aus hochwertigem Traubengut und von aromatischer Raffinesse. Am Gaumen trocken, schön ausgewogen und von anmutiger Perlage begleitet. (superiore.de)

"Noten von Bananenschale, Apfel, frisch, ansprechend; geschmeidig, ausgeprägt fruchtig, saftig, gefällt sehr." Merum

"This is textbook Prosecco. The 2017 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut shows summertime aromas of dried grass and white peach. The wine glides quickly over the palate with informal and carefree intensity, yet the acidity and the bubbles are extremely refreshing and welcome on a dusty August afternoon." Robert Parker

"Typical honeysuckle, stone and orchard fruit nose. Crispy and lemony palate with lots of refreshing acidity. Very well-made, simple but easy-drinking." Decanter

Konzentrierte Cuvée aus Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot und Syrah. Dunkle Früchte im Duft, voll und reich am Gaumen mit schöner Würze, abgerundetem Tannin und guter Länge. (superiore.de)

"This is a dense and rich red with smoked wood, dried bark, tea and ripe fruit. Very flavoful. Full body. intense. Velvety tannins." James Suckling

"A stylish, fresh red, with spiced black raspberry and black currant fruit and accents of green olive, dried thyme and sweet smoke, finely meshed with long, supple tannins. Medium- to full-bodied, this shows good focus and length." Wine Spectator

"This is the estate's second wine, which is a tad less formal than the top-shelf Barrua. The 2015 Montessu represents a hearty blend of 60% Carignano with equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. It ages in oak for up to one year. The wine reveals an inky blackish appearance with spots of ruby brilliance that shine from within. Cabernet-like aromas of dark fruit, spice, grilled herb and black olive are immediate and recognizable. The wine is layered and soft in terms of texture, and it grips the palate with firm intensity." Robert Parker

Re di More ist ein intensiver Aglianico, der Reichtum und Harmonie auf schönste Weise verbindet. Aromen von getrockneten Früchten, Leder, Tabak und Gewürzen sind perfekt mit Frucht, Säure und Tannin verwoben. (superiore.de)

"Geröstete Haselnuss, Halbbitterschokolade und sehr reife Schwarzkirsche, seidig am Gaumen, aber dennoch mit Griff, viel Saft, dezente Säure, Abgang mit mineralischen Noten und guter Verdichtung von Frucht und Tannin, ein intelligent gemachter, zugänglicher Stil von Aglianico." Falstaff

"The 2013 Irpinia Aglianico RediMore represents a special selection of Aglianico biotypes from pre-phylloxera vines that are up to 140 years old. Two of these clones were registered as Antonio Mastroberardino VCR 418 and VCR 421 in honor of the late proprietor of this historic Campania winery. The research project to identify these clones started in 2008 and the first edition of RediMore was produced in 2012. The 2013 vintage presented this year is a very special expression of Aglianico with an extremely floral character. The bouquet shows pressed rose, spice, dried violets and moist chewing tobacco. The wine is engineered for near-term consumption (with softer tannins) although this vintage should continue to evolve over the next five years." Robert Parker
