Bibenda

A richly nuanced aroma of yellow fruit, with ever new facets of green apple, lime zest, gooseberry and fennel in the glass. A great structure on the palate with a crisp bite and plenty of fresh berry fruit. The finish is very pleasant. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicate, pale straw yellow with silver reflections. Ripe fruit of peach and pear, citrus blossom and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Delicate fruit melt on the palate, juicy and with a certain saltiness." Falstaff

Convincing Montepulciano d'Abruzzo of high quality at a very appealing price. Variety-typical, strong fruit aroma, full and spicy structure on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

The Grotta Rossa clearly embodies its terroir and the grape variety. The clean, powerful bouquet is reminiscent of ripe berries and cherries, while on the palate the tannins blend perfectly with the acidity before the soft finish sets in. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose starts crisp and savory, with aromas of graphite, earth, pepper and violets. Sweeter notes of blackberry, plum and chocolate gradually emerge, and continue to swell on the palate, but zippy acid injects a balancing, almost metallic tang." Wine Enthusiast

Brilliant ruby red colour, delicate aromas of cherry and chocolate on the nose. Dense body, clear fruit, fine-grained, well-integrated tannins and an interesting acid wire give this fresh food companion a good structure. Extremely good value! SUPERIORE.DE

"In need of that go-to wine? Here you go! This fresh Sangiovese from Emilia-Romagna pops off the glass with fresh cherries and raspberry notes, hints of fresh herbs and savory spice. The bright palate is light bodied, uncomplicated and exactly what a wine like this is supposed to provide: smiles." Wine Enthusiast

Excellent, single-varietal red wine from the ancient southern Italian Nero di Troia grape. Violante impresses with its delicately aromatic, red berry and delicately smoky bouquet. Fresh in flavour, well-structured and beautifully balanced between fruit and acidity, it is a wonderful accompaniment to food and a very good value everyday wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, light purple red colour. Medium intensity on the nose, opens on fresh blueberries, violet flavours, subtle spicy notes in the finish. Polished on the palate, then gripping tannins, dense fruit through to the finish." Falstaff

"Mushrooms, bay leaves and black cherries on the nose with a hint of crushed pepper. Lean and flavoursome, medium-bodied, with juicy dark fruits framed by fine tannins." James Suckling

Racy, elegant and very authentic Rosso di Montepulciano, slender and feminine, with the flavours of ripe red cherries and good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour with a violet hue. Intense and multi-layered nose, showing notes of ripe sour cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants, with hints of violets and cloves on the finish. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with soft tannins and a long finish." Falstaff

"A pretty bouquet of bright cherries and pink flowers makes the 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano a real pleasure on the nose. It is juicy and savoury rather than sweet, with hints of wild berries and minerality. A hint of liquorice resonates on the medium-long finish, while the 2022 finishes fresh." Vinous

"Raspberries, chocolate, hazelnuts and bark on the nose. Creamy, fresh and balanced, with a medium body and bright acidity." James Suckling

Deep red colour, fascinating complex aroma spectrum on the nose. Dominated by the ripe berry scent, with hints of plums and tobacco. Powerful and intense on the palate, rich in extract, with juicy soft tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Ilico opens with a burst of crushed blackberries, underbrush and ashen stone. It's silky-smooth with polished red fruits that form beneath an air of inner violet florals. This finishes long and staining yet only lightly structured with a bump of residual acidity that maintains a lovely balance." Vinous

Rich ruby red with a violet hue, the typical primary fruity taste of bitter almonds and liquorice caresses the palate. This Dolcetto shines with its full body and an unexpected power and present acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dense plum, blueberry and cherry with peppery, violet undertones; a robust style with ample energy and a long, vibrant finish." Decanter

Lively and bright Dolcetto with complex aromas of dark fruit and spicy notes, remarkably multi-layered, very typical of the variety, fresh and long in flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba Munfrina is laced with crushed red berry/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol. Aging in steel keeps the flavors bright in this impeccably done Dolcetto. The purity of the fruit here is compelling." Vinous

Rosso Piancarda is intensely flavoured and perfumed, with medicinal cherries and raspberries complemented by dusty roses and sweet cedar wood notes. On the palate, Piancarda turns to the savoury spectrum. Salty and full of savoury minerality, it shows spicy red fruits, a hint of plum and a lively acidity that keeps the expression fresh. The grippy tannins remain until the final, while the notes of sour citrus fruits and tart berries slowly fade away. SUPERIORE.DE

"A peppery burst of wild herbs, chalk dust and crushed blackberries defines the 2021 Rosso Conero Piancarda. This is silky-smooth and round, with ripe red and blue fruits swirling across a vibrant acidity stream. Crunchy mineral tones add form to the finish, and fine tannins and a black licorice tang gradually fade. The Piancarda is a varietal Montepulciano." Vinous

Intensely bright red colour. Full fruit on the nose, notes of dried berries, beautiful spice, rounded off by fragrant violets, iodine and chestnut honey. Very round, warm, soft and spicy on the palate, well-proportioned tannins, juicy, with good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh and fine tannined with medium body and juicy and creamy tannins and a berry, citrus undertone." James Suckling

Intense ruby-red cuvée with an aromatic nose of dried red fruits, walnuts and lively spices. On the palate, notes of elderberry, red berries and wood as well as the fine Ripasso sweetness. A rarity in this attractive price range. Fine, balanced, with a certain spiciness and juiciness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Notes of ripe strawberries and mulberries with undertones of ground spices and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, juicy and tense with crunchy tannins and racy acidity. Shows freshness and concentration." James Suckling

Sherazade - a beautiful protagonist from A Thousand and One Nights and a wonderful Nero d'Avola from the south-west of the island, which grows on clay soils. Concentrated ruby red colour, fruity, balsamic aroma with mineral tones, followed by a sweet hint of cocoa. Soft on the palate with memories of sour cherries and blackberries. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Nero d'Avola Sherazade wafts up with a wickedly fresh bouquet of crushed wild berries, violets, sage, white pepper and licorice. This is racy and cool-toned in feel, with juicy acidity and masses of ripe red and blue fruits that cascade throughout. The 2022 leaves a staining of primary blackberry concentration, finishing classically with framing tannins that make for a lovely punctuation. This is a wonderfully fresh yet still potent Nero d'Avola." Vinous

"Very typical with lots of sour cherry and crisp lemon zest both on the nose and on the palate. Medium body with bright acidity and a tart finish. Creamy texture. Shows real Nero character." James Suckling

Rosso del Duca is a very classic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Powerful fragrance of blueberries, cherries and cocoa, straightforward and tireless on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Carmelo Morgante's spicy and dark Nero d'Avola opens with a burst of blood orange, crushed blackberries, balsamic herbs and violet blossom. It is silky smooth yet cool in flavour. Crisp wild berries and tangy citrus fruits form the contrast. A youthful tension unfolds on the palate, while tart cherries and cranberries mingle with sweet tannins. It reveals much more depth, concentration and balance than you would expect for this price.

"Medium ruby colour with violet accents. Fresh acidity structure. Lots of Amarena cherry. Juicy and uncomplicated. Subtle notes of blood orange and violet blossom. Everything appears cool and modern. Silky tannins. Cranberries lend a youthful character. Forest plants and fir, tangerine and fresh redcurrant. Fresh acidity. Inviting." Vinum

"The 2021 Nero d'Avola is savoury in the glass with a forest-inspired blend of mentholated herbs, shaved pine, tangerine and crushed wild berries. The palate is pleasantly sweet, with cocoa flavoured red berry fruit and a hint of sage and lavender. Pickling and powerful, the 2021 tapers off with dramatic length, leaving taut tannins and notes of liquorice that linger." Vinous

The grapes come from the Ginestra, Mosconi and San Pietro cru sites, with around 10 rows planted outside the appellation boundaries (this is why the wine is a Langhe Dolcetto and not a Dolcetto d'Alba). Beautiful, detailed aroma of rose gardens and lavender fields. The finish is slender, soft and silky with aromatic richness and plenty of fruit. A wonderfully complex Dolcetto in the impeccable style of the Clerico house. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a wine that is fun to drink and reveals sweet, explosive fruit. It is charming through and through. The Domenico Clerico 2022 Langhe Dolcetto Visadì shows fresh sour cherry and summery blueberry. The fruit is sweet and fresh, and there are also subtle floral aromas." Wine Advocate

A beautiful, terroir-influenced rosato made from the autochthonous Aglianico grape variety. Its label is emblazoned with the coat of arms of the ruling house of Emperor Frederick the Hohenstaufen, who was at home here. Concise, fresh and fruity, certainly one of the most beautiful rosati from the volcanic terroir of Basilicata. SUPERIORE.DE

Pregio del Conte, a symbiosis of Montepulciano and various local grape varieties, which has a strong, firm flavour with hints of chocolate, spices and red fruit and a long, clean finish. Ideal with meat dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

This white wine, made from Müller-Thurgau and Gewürztraminer, is exceptional and outstanding. Iridescent straw yellow in colour with beguiling apricot, lychee, peach and rose aromas. The well-structured, fresh flavour is full of fruit, aromatic and spicy - pure exoticism! SUPERIORE.DE
