Rami' ensteht aus überwiegend Falanghina und etwas Fiano, die im Weinberg Ramitello gedeihen. Strohgelb mit frischem Duft von Aprikose und Pfirsich. Am Gaumen weich und weit, gute Säure und nussiger Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Molise Falanghina is a crisp and zesty wine. It shows aromas of citrus, white peach and almond blossom." Robert Parker

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

Strohgelb mit grünlichen Reflexen. Frische Nase nach Gelbfrüchten und Wiesenkräutern. Am Gaumen frisch mit Noten von Zitrus und umhüllt von einer feinen Säureader. Die weiße Trend-Rebsorte Grillo macht einfach Spaß im Glas! SUPERIORE.DE

"This is an easygoing white to pair with finger foods or fried appetizers. The 2017 Sicilia Grillo offers a bright bouquet that is marked by citrusy tones of tangerine or lemon zest with bitter almond and garden herb. The wine is lean and crisp on the close. Winemaking is straightforward, with just four months in stainless steel. You just can't beat this low price." Robert Parker

"The sliced apples, lemon and lime zest, fresh herbs and spices are very enticing. The palate shows some edgy acidity and a lots of lemon pith. Medium-to full-bodied and bright and exciting on the finish." James Suckling

Diese sizilianische Cuvée ist von schöner Textur, harmonisch und reichhaltig. Im Duft verführerisch, leicht süßlich nach Honigmelone, Banane und Kräutern mit hauchzarten Vanilletönen. Ein wirklich bemerkenswerter Weißwein mit Gleichgewicht zwischen Säure und Frucht und von anhaltender Persistenz. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Angimbé (closed with a glass cork) is a blend of 70% Insolia with 30% Chardonnay from Cusumano's beautiful Tenuta Ficuzza property (with vineyards planted up to 700 meters above sea level). The wine is fresh and easy-drinking with bright citrus aromas followed by honeydew melon, apricot and bitter almond. Drink this pretty Sicilian white with fried calamari rings or take-out sushi." Robert Parker

"Quite a rich and exotic dry white for Sicily with a touch of smoke on the nose and a long, rich finish that has an underlying crispness which makes this very appealing." James Suckling

Dunkler, konzentrierter Nero d'Avola mit reichem Bouquet, viel reifer Frucht und süßem Tannin. Ein toller Wein mit super Preis-Leistung. SUPERIORE.DE

"So einen Wein für so wenig Geld gibt es selten. Don Carmelo Morgante, ein alter Herr mit faltigem Antlitz und sizilianischer Seele, hat mit seinen beiden Söhnen einen dunklen, dichten, beerenfruchtigen Wein geschaffen, mit süßem Tannin und der unnachahmlichen sizilianischen Würze mit salziger Lakritze." Dr. Jens Priewe

"Here's a solid entry-level red offered at an unbeatable low price. The mid-weight 2016 Sicilia Nero d'Avola shows a steady and clean delivery of red cherry and berry aromas with light spice, cola and green olive. There is a point of sour fruit on the finish that is characteristic of Nero d'Avola." Robert Parker

Der Weißweinklassiker Critone aus überwiegend Chardonnay bietet klare Aromen von gelben Früchten und frischen Apfelduft. Der elegante Geschmack hat eine schöne Struktur und bleibt fruchtig-frisch bis in den bemerkenswerten Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Critone is a hot-vintage blend of 90% Chardonnay with 10% Sauvignon Blanc. The first grape is evidently selected for its mild and creamy texture, and the second grape adds bright aromatic accents of citrus and passion fruit. This is a lean white wine from the deep south of Italy that offers good value and an easy, immediate drinking style." Robert Parker

"Fresh and floral, with lime blossom, kiwifruit, peach and blood orange sorbet flavors, this medium-bodied white is backed by vibrant acidity and lingers with spice and graphite accents." Wine Spectator

Brillantes Strohgelb. Aromen von Limettenschale, Kräutern und hellen Blüten. Saftig am Gaumen mit einer feinen Säureader; ein mittellanger, mineralischer Abgang rundet diesen wunderschönen Weißen vom Ätna ab. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Catarratto Barbazzale shows enormous precision and an authentic Etna taste profile. The wine is bright and clean with a crystalline straw-gold color, direct aromas and a mouthfeel that is fresh and snappy. If those characteristics appeal to you, as they do to me, I highly recommend this excellent value wine. The wine is fun and rewarding with loads of mineral character." Robert Parker

"This is a fresh, herbal and discreetly floral white with good depth and a very crisp finish that has some minerality. A blend of catarratto with a small amount of viognier." James Suckling

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

Anthilia - ein fruchtiger weißer Individualist aus Ansonica und Catarratto, rund und sehr fein. Im Bouquet Aromen von gelben Pfirsichen, Pflaumen und Anklänge an Blumen der mediterranen Macchia. Am Gaumen verschmelzen Würze und Weichheit zu einem angenehmen, schmeichelnden Unisono. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Sicilia Anthìlia is mostly Catarratto with some indigenous and international varieties mixed into the blend. This is a very bright and luminous wine that appears to have Sicilian sunbeams locked within. For easy-drinking occasions on the summer porch, backyard or rooftop terrazza, this is your wine. The finish is zesty and clean. One sip happily invites the next." Robert Parker

"This shows dried pineapple, lemon curd and orange blossom. Medium body, a layering of acidity and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

Bianco di Morgante ist ein reinsortiger Nero d'Avola. Die typische sizilianische rote Traube wurde allerdings ohne Schalenkontakt vinifiziert, und so entstand dieser sehr gelungene und außergewöhnliche Weißwein. Finesse und Eleganz pur. Seidig und glänzend, besticht dieser experimentelle Wein mit Balance und Leichtigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a red grape (Nero d'Avola) fermented off the skins to make a white wine. The 2017 Bianco di Morgante shows that ghostly white appearance that you always get with this unique winemaking process. These wines tend to show even less color than your lightest white wine made from white grapes (that always have some color pigment to impart off the skins). This pretty wine offers attractive aromas of stone peach and natural rubber. There is a shiny, almost glossy quality to the wine. It shows a lean mouthful with bright acidity and freshness. You do feel the 13.5% alcohol. This wine has no official appellation. Some 40,000 bottles were made." Robert Parker

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
