Rubinrote Farbe, ansprechender Duft nach reifen Brombeeren und Holunderbeeren, am Gaumen recht dicht, gewisse Fruchtsüße, im eleganten Nachhall nach Cassis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Recht dunkles, purpurnes Rot; reduktive, fruchtig-himbeerige Noten; Süße, knackig, gute Säure und Tannin, feinherb." Merum

"Fresh and finely knit, featuring supple tannins and bright acidity, with flavors of crushed black raspberry, rose hip, dried sage and stony mineral. Medium- to full-bodied, offering a lightly chewy, spiced finish." Wine Spectator

Sehr gut gelungen präsentiert sich der reinsortige Aglianico: Klar, frisch, sauber, mit Akzenten von exotischen Kräutern und roten Früchten, dazu ein stimmig fließender, körperreicher Geschmack. SUPERIORE.DE

"A smoky note up front underscores the baked cherry and dried fig fruit on the palate of this medium- to full-bodied red. Accents of cured tobacco and spice linger on the finish, firmed by well-knit tannins." Wine Spectator

"The 2017 Irpinia Aglianico opens with a fruit-forward display of spicy blue and black berries, as rich brown spices, sweet herbs, and a hint of mocha comes forward. On the palate, silky textures flood the senses with polished black fruit and minerals, which cascade across the senses, giving way to inner violet florals. The finish is long with a staining of blue and black fruits, which slowly taper off to reveal a coating of savory spice and mineral tones." Vinous

"Now here's a really exciting Aglianico. Full of life, it's overflowing with sea urchin, oyster shell, hot stones, blackberries and steak tartare. As for the palate, it's full in body, but very silky and sleek, tiptoeing with the grace of a ballerina through vibrant but concentrated dark fruit. Long and complex. Amazing value!" James Suckling

Boscarellis Prugnolo öffnet mit samtigen und kirschigen Aromen das Bouquet, wird dann körperreich und kraftvoll. Hervorragende Frucht am Gaumen, angenehm frische Säure, präsentes Tannin, strukturiert und lang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fragrant and supple, this young red has enticing aromas of wild dark-skinned berry, blue flower and dark spice. It's vibrant, savory and easy-drinking, doling out juicy Marasca cherry, raspberry and baking spice set against lithe tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"This is a very endearing and fruity red, reminiscent of Beaujolais, with pressed violets and raspberries. Light body, bright acidity and a minerally, tangy finish." James Suckling

"Graphite and cherry aromas lead off, followed by a beam of pure cherry, tobacco and earth flavors. The tannins are firm and dense, but this can be enjoyed now with pasta or grilled meats." Wine Spectator

Intensives Rubinrot, anhaltendes, fruchtbetontes Bouquet mit Noten von Waldbeeren, Veilchen, Gewürznelken und Zimt sowie süßlichen Tabakaromen. Am Gaumen konzentriert, fleischig, tanninreich, dunkle Früchte. Im Abgang verschmelzen die Gewürztöne mit einer angenehmen Fruchtnote. Insgesamt ein vielversprechender Tropfen zu einem sehr attraktiven Preis! SUPERIORE.DE

"Sehr sattes, dunkles Rubinrot. In der Nase nach feiner Holzwürze und reifen Himbeeren, Kirschen, Waldfrüchte, etwas Lakritz im Nachhall. Spannt sich am Gaumen schön auf, saftig und klar, griffiges Tannin bis ins Finale, zarte Nachtrocknung." Falstaff

"Cherry, leather, iron and earth flavors shout Sangiovese, yet there is a saline element too. Linear, dry and persistent. Shows fine balance." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of cherries and watermelon follow through to a medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The bouquet is savory yet slightly restrained in its youthful state, as notes of crushed raspberry give way to peppery floral and herbal tones, with a hint of spiced orange. On the palate, silky textures flood the senses with pure cherry and wild berry, as saline-minerals and fine tannins slowly settle in, kept lively through balanced acidity. The finish is long and structured with saturating dried red fruits resonating, turning more toward the savory spectrum, as youthful tannins clench the senses. The 2016 Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva is a blend of 80% Sangiovese with equal parts Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s classic in every way and geared up for a long stay in the cellar." Vinous

Zingari aus einer Mischung von Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot und Sangiovese hat eine dunkle rubinrote Farbe und eine charakteristische Maremma-Aromatik. Am Gaumen warm und rund mit Noten von Heidelbeeren, Brombeeren und Gewürzen. Ein vielschichtiger Wein, der sicher viele Bewunderer finden wird. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, ripe cherry and plum fruit flavors offset the savory tobacco, earth and herb notes in this plump red, which is balanced despite the exuberant tannins, while vivid acidity keeps the long aftertaste focused." Wine Spectator

"Beautiful aromas of cherries, dark chocolate and lemon rind, following through to a full body with round and chewy tannins. Yet, it is polished and soft. A juicy finish. A blend of merlot, sangiovese, syrah and petit verdot." James Suckling

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

Süße Kirschen, Blumen, Gewürze und ein Hauch Minze im Bouquet. Festes und doch harmonisches Tannin im lebendigen, sehr intensiven Geschmack, der sich nie schwer, sondern bis ins Finale elegant präsentiert. SUPERIORE.DE

"Helles, leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase zunächst verschlossen und von Reduktion gezeichnet, dann satte Kirsche. Am Gaumen fruchtbetont und fein, enthüllt sich mit straff-saftigem Tannin, konzentriert, mineralisch." Falstaff

"A minerally red, with a thread of spice weaving through the plumped cherry and crushed mulberry fruit flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, featuring muscular yet well-knit tannins and fresh acidity. Aromatic tea leaf and citrus notes linger on the finish." Wine Spectator

Diese harmonische Cuvée aus Sangiovese, Merlot und Cabernet kommt von Querciabellas Maremma-Weingut. Reizvolles Bouquet mit Noten von Tabak und Leder, die dann einer reifen Frucht weichen. Der ausgewogene Geschmack ist fein-fruchtig, intensiv und frisch. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Mongrana, Querciabella's entry-level red, is fabulous. A burst of dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and chocolate gives the 2018 so much immediacy and sheer appeal. Overall, this is a pretty restrained style for the Tuscan coast. There is so much to like here." Vinous

"Ripe and polished, this red offers plum, black cherry, licorice and spice flavors. Vibrant and harmonious, with slightly chewy tannins gracing the lingering aftertaste." Wine Spectator

Ornello ist ein offener Wein mit wunderschönen, einladenden Aromen von reifen, dunklen Früchten und vegetabilen Noten. Am Gaumen angenehm fruchtig und voll mit guter Länge und Balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh, packed with black cherry and blackberry flavors, this red is polished and dense. Licorice, spice and tar accents add interest as the aftertaste lingers." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Ornello is once again the hidden gem in this lineup in 2016. Rich and boisterous on the palate, the 2016 offers up serious resonance. The blend of Sangioveto, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah works especially well here. Dark cherry, chocolate, spice and licorice build into the ample, creamy finish. If I could only choose one wine from this range to drink, it would be the Ornello without question." Vinous

Al Passo ist benannt nach dem kleinen Wald auf dem höchsten Hügel von Tolaini - ein magischer Ort mit atemberaubendem Panorama auf die Landschaft und auf die Sonnenuntergänge über den Türmen von Siena. So unique wie der Wald ist auch der Wein, der die natürliche Affinität von Sangiovese und Merlot präsentiert. Intensives und verlockendes Bouquet von reifen Früchten und würzigen Eichenoten, am Gaumen mit reifer Frucht und frischer Säure, ausgewogen, mittlerer Körper, langes Finale. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sattes Granat mit Rubin. Kompakte Frucht, leicht kandiert, nach Orangenzesten und eingelegten Kirschen, feine Grünwürze. Am Gaumen sehr trinkig, nach Holunderbeeren, saftig, knackig, von mittlerem Gewicht, im Nachhall lange salzig." Falstaff

"The 2016 Al Passo is bold and juicy, not to mention absolutely delicious. Fresh, vibrant and full of character, the 2016 hits all the right notes. Sangiovese red fruits are nicely pushed forward. Al Passo is such a pretty and inviting wine. I very much like the energy here. Bright aromatic top notes add a kick of energy on the finish." Vinous

"You'll find sturdy notes of tilled earth in the 2016 Al Passo, with lots of intensity and ripe fruit. It would make a nice pairing with a good old spaghetti al ragù. The wine is balanced and bright without too much concentration or heft. It feels very Tuscan. This is Tolaini's base wine and you get excellent value." Robert Parker

"Black currant fruit signals this supple red, focused by refined tannins and bright acidity. Cedar, iron and tobacco notes add depth as this winds down on the long finish." Wine Spectator

"A really endearing red that shows dried herbs, fresh blueberries, tobacco and cedar. Lithe and very tangy on the palate, which is medium-to full-bodied, elegant and dialed-in. The fine tannins add to a delicate but muscular impression on the medium-chewy finish." James Suckling

Traditionelle Chianti Classico Riserva aus sehr gutem Jahrgang: Rubinrot, intensives und raffiniertes Bouquet mit fruchtigen Aromen und einem sehr sanften Vanille-Tabak-Hauch; anhaltender Geschmack, gut ausgewogene Tannine, schön definierter Körper. Hat gutes Lagerpotenzial. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Famiglia Zingarelli is a forward, juicy wine for the vintage. Sweet dark cherry, leather, tobacco, spice, pine, cedar and dried flowers add aromatic nuance to this fruity, forward Riserva. Dollops of Colorino and Cabernet Sauvignon round out the blend. This is very nicely done." Vinous

"A ripe Chianti Classico with plum, light prune and orange-peel character. Hints of mahogany, too. Full body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. Ripe style to this." James Suckling

"Sweet ripe plum and black cherry fruit counter the leather, earth and macchia flavors in this expressive red. Well-built, with dusty tannins and a savory aftertaste." Wine Spectator
