Hervorragender, reinsortiger Sangiovese zu einem Spitzenpreis: Rubinrot, kräftiges, sehr typisches Bouquet nach dunklen Beeren, Tabak und Leder, am Gaumen gut strukturiert mit Kirsch- und Pflaumennoten, ausgezeichnete Länge und eleganter, feinfruchtiger Nachklang. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine definitely took me by surprise. I did not expect the density or the richness that you get with the 2017 Sangiovese from Italy's tiny Molise region. This hot-vintage expression of a grape planted across central Italy (mostly in the Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna regions) offers unique concentration and darkness here in Southern Italy. From afar, it could be mistaken for a Cabernet or a Merlot. The aromas are also atypical. Here, you get stronger elements of black cherry, spice and pencil shavings. This mid-weight wine delivers terrific value." Robert Parker

"Light raisin character and lots of smoky oak. Full-bodied, round and juicy with velvety tannins." James Suckling

Reinsortiger Nero d'Avola, benannt nach dem Lago di Disueri, einem See in der Provinz Caltanissetta mitten in Sizilien. Tiefdunkles Rot, intensiv nach dunklen Früchten duftend mit einem Hauch Eukalyptus. Kräftig und rund am Gaumen, geschmeidig und lang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sehr intensives, kraftvolles Rubinrot. Filigrane und einladende Nase nach reifen Kirschen, Waldbeere und frischer Zwetschke. Zeigt am Gaumen ordentlich Präsenz mit wuchtigem Mundeintritt, entfaltet sich breit, endet dann auf Grund des jungen Tannins leicht trocknend." Falstaff

"The 2017 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Disueri (packaged with a glass cork) pours from the bottle with inky black, almost purple intensity. I have rarely seen this darkness with Nero d'Avola. Made with fruit from a very hot vintage (farmed at the inland Tenuta San Giacomo vineyard), the bouquet delivers dense, heavy fruit with blackberry preserves, black olive and scorched earth. No oak is used in the winemaking process." Robert Parker

"This is quite sweet and rich with a ton of blackberries and delicate herb and spice notes. Beautiful balance, thanks to the lively acidity and fresh tannins. Long, licorice finish." James Suckling

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

"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

"Lots of cherry and floral aromas follow through to a medium body, solid core of fruit and a juicy and delicious finish." James Suckling

Hexenbichler ist ein beliebter Roter aus überwiegend Vernatsch mit Spielarten wie Klein-, Mittel-, und Grauvernatsch sowie einem kleinen Teil Lagrein und Pinot Nero. Angenehm füllig, anhaltend und rund. Die große Harmonie ist den geringen Erträgen und der (früher üblichen) Sortenvielfalt zu verdanken. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Alto Adige Schiava Hexenbichler opens to a classic color for the grape that is ruby with pale garnet highlights. The bouquet flows forth with wild berry aromas backed by flinty tones of ash and tar. The Schiava grape often shows those dark, slightly reductive aromas. In fact, this is a difficult grape to make into wine, especially if you are intent on keeping the bouquet so pristine. Shorter maceration times and careful pump-overs help to achieve these results. This is a very nice expression." Robert Parker

Funkelnd rubinrot mit intensivem Duft nach reifen Waldbeeren, konzentriert, vollfruchtig und doch elegant der Geschmack, der in einem frischen, geschmeidigen Abgang ausklingt. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Benuara (closed with a glass cork) is made with fruit sourced from the estate's Presti and Pegni vineyards in Monreale, and these sites are identified on the front label. This is a mid-weight blend of 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Syrah that offers an accessible and forthcoming drinking style. There is a subtle note of sunny ripeness on the bouquet, with a point of cherry marmalade, but the wine ultimately delivers a tight and focused mouthfeel. Most of the wine (80%) is aged in steel, and the remaining percentage goes into large oak casks." Robert Parker

"There is not a touch of overripeness to this nevertheless explosive nose of blackcurrants, mulberries, bark, herbs, even beet, slate, iodine and spices. Medium-bodied with driven acidity, fine tannins and tons of fruit on the finish. So delicious." James Suckling

Ramitello beeindruckt mit einer immensen Duftfülle von intensiven Aromen roter Früchte und zarten balsamischen Noten. Warm und voll ist der Geschmack, dessen reiche Fruchttöne mit einem Hauch Lakritz gewürzt sind. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's another terrific value buy from Di Majo Norante. This wine delivers lots of black fruit, tar, spice and tobacco. The intensity of the wine is very good despite the difficult vintage. This is a mid-weight red with rich fiber and density at the back." Robert Parker

"A fascinating red with tobacco, granite, and dark berry aromas that follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins. Juicy finish. Savory. A blend of montepulciano and aglianico." James Suckling

Klassischer Weißburgunder mit dem Duft reifer Äpfel und Birnen. Eleganter, ausgewogener, harmonischer Geschmack. Finado ist kein bisschen verspielt oder gar einfach gestrickt, sondern wirkt sehr erlesen. SUPERIORE.DE

"A terrific value buy, the 2017 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Finado covers the palate with smooth and silky intensity. The wine imparts peach flavors with mild pear and sweet apple. Those fruity notes are contained by elegant mineral tones that recall crushed stone or oystershell. This wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly on the lees for six months." Robert Parker

"A charming white, featuring spice and citrus accents and ripe nectarine and stony mineral notes. Light-bodied and creamy, with a waft of almond blossom on the fresh finish." Wine Spectator

"Brimming with apples, pears and citrus, this generous and crisp, medium-bodied pinot bianco is extremely easy to enjoy." James Suckling

In der Nase etwas Tabak, Leder und Süßholz; am Gaumen mit schönem Kirscharoma, getragen von gutem Säure- und Tanningerüst; hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Ein differenzierter, klarer und typischer Duft, Kirschfrucht mit kräuterigen und floralen Tönen, Lakritze, Rosenblatt, am Gaumen mit feinem und frischem Gerbstoff, sehr homogen und jugendlich-kompakt, in der Dichte gut – aber auch saftig genug, um große Eleganz auszustrahlen. Mineralisch grundiert und lang. Ein Essensbegleiter par excellence." Falstaff

"The 2016 Chianti Rufina delivers a very satisfying interpretation of Sangiovese with traditional lines and gracefully tempered aromas. Wild rose and forest berry emerge from the bouquet trailed by spice, ginger and licorice. This is a versatile and non-intrusive wine to pair with white meat or baked fish." Robert Parker

"A focused style, with cherry and plum flavors accented by a smoky note. Juicy and balanced, leaving hints of earth and tobacco on the long finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Chianti Rùfina is an incredibly beautiful and polished wine. Gracious and light on its feet, with striking persistence, the 2016 is all class. Bright floral notes and silky, refined tannins add to the wine's alluring personality. What a gorgeous wine this is. Don't miss it." Antonio Galloni

"Thyme, woodland berry and floral aromas mingle with a whiff of tilled earth. The taut linear palate evokes juicy plum, Morello cherry, underbrush and tobacco alongside polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Enjoy now for its pristine fruit and precision or hold for more complexity." (Editors' Choice) Wine Enthusiast

Antisa - der fruchtige, kräuterwürzige, frische, duftende Catarratto - ist sehr trinkig und handwerklich perfekt. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Sicilia Catarratto Antisa Tenuta Regaleali opens to a light and tonic appearance. It follows suit with fresh aromas of lemon zest, white peach and blanched almond. Winemaking takes place in stainless steel, and the wine is aged on the fine lees for four months. This gives it some extra volume and texture on the close." Robert Parker

"Aromas of white flowers, rose petals, white peppers and candied fruits. Full body, a round and creamy texture and a beautiful, clear finish." James Suckling

Das sorgfältig selektionierte Traubengut stammt von den drei toskanischen Weingütern: Brancaia (Castellina), Poppi (Radda) und Brancaia in Maremma (Morellino di Scansano). TRE ist ein charaktervoller Wein, der schon früh großen Trinkgenuss bereitet. Fruchtiges Bouquet mit würzigen Nuancen, Brombeere und Weichseln. Im Geschmack dicht, kraftvoll und weich zugleich. Wunderschöner Wein mit feinsten Tanninen, elegant im Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a soft and simple mid-weight wine with a bright bouquet that is colored with vibrant tones of dark fruit, spice and grilled herb. The quality of the fruit in this classic vintage is what pushes this value wine up to an exciting 90-point threshold." Robert Parker

"A juicy and fruity wine with blackberry and cherry character. Just a hint of smoked meat. Full-bodied, round and soft." James Suckling

"A dense matrix supports black cherry, iron, earth, tobacco and coffee flavors in this beefy red. Tips toward the tannins in the end, but stays in line." Wine Spectator
