“Manna” Bianco Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2022
The vineyards of the five grape varieties are located between 350 and 800 metres above sea level and face south-west. The vines grow on dolomite, porphyry, sand and marl soils. As a young wine, Manna has golden yellow colour nuances, which turn into strong golden tones after a few years of maturation. Manna is very special: complex, multi-layered with a bouquet of elderberry, pistachio, apricot, nutmeg and delicate rose petals. Concentrated, full-bodied and at the same time elegant and complex in flavour. A racy wine that can be discovered from different perspectives as it develops, revealing its character more and more. Even the young wine changes in the glass and surprises again and again. SUPERIORE.DE
"Inviting aromas of jasmine, green apple and lime, then juicy, fresh green fruit on the palate." Decanter
"This is perfumed and so characterful with plenty of tropical and floral notes as well as a solid, mineral backbone. Pineapple, candied citrus fruit, honeysuckle, rose hips and crushed stones on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with steady acidity. Crunchy, fresh and firm. Very well made." James Suckling

“Sirmian” Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2022
Top-class Pinot Bianco from the South Tyrolean Wine Road, more precisely from the exposed Sirmian hillside, where the Pinot Bianco finds its ideal location and an optimal microclimate. Every year it is of remarkable quality. Clear and sparkling straw yellow in the glass, with an intense bouquet of light flowers, green apple, redcurrants and a hint of sage and nutmeg. Harmonious, powerful and persistent on the palate, with a full flavour typical of the grape variety and a beautiful melting, mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Matured for eight months in large oak barrels, the 2022 Pinot Bianco Sirmian has a bright colour and allows plenty of light to shine through. The wine is multi-layered and rich in stone fruit, quince and pear. You get a very nice ensemble with ripe fruit tones, herbal notes on the finish and a pinch of cinnamon spice. This is the 50th vintage." Wine Advocate
"Enthralling grapefruit, fresh cut grass and floral aromas abound with a twist of pepper freshness clinging rapturously to the lively acidity. Plump and viscous with a lavish lemon fluidity which trickles towards the end. Superb!" Decanter

“St. Valentin” Sauvignon Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2023
Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is probably the best-known white wine from the St. Michael-Eppan winery. It has been vinified from carefully selected single vineyards at the foot of the Mendelstock since 1989. Yellow-green in colour, dense bouquet of yellow fruit, gooseberry, elderflower and ripe redcurrant, smooth on the palate with elegant, floral fullness and crisp acidity. A great and very savoury top wine and probably the most award-winning white from the internationally highly respected winegrowers' cooperative. SUPERIORE.DE

“Cassiopea Pagus Cerbaia” Rosato Bolgheri DOC 2018
Pagus Cerbaia is the name of a first-class small plot of land with sedimentary soils. This is where the small quantities of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon come from, 50% of which is fermented in amphorae and 50% in oak barrels after the harvest. The "Selection Rosato", which is only bottled in a few hundred bottles, has an intense floral aroma and captivates the palate in a lively and cheerful way with a lingering spicy note and a wonderfully complex finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright copper colour with a sparkling core. Aromas of orange peel, ginger, honey and dried figs on the nose. Soft on the palate, expansive, carried by striking acidity, right through to the lingering finish." Falstaff
"This is complex and layered with dried strawberry bush, pastry crust, dried flowers and caramel. Medium-bodied, textural and polished with a gentle phenolic edge to it and chalky minerality." James Suckling
"Youthful, creamy aromas of red fruits open up to wonderfully ripe notes of peach, dried apricots, honey and cream, as well as hints of oak with nutmeg and cloves. Perhaps the proximity to the sea contributes to the salty, mineral notes that combine with the oak structure. The oak adds a subtle spice, the ripe fruit adds weight, the fresh acidity is perfectly balanced and gives the wine outstanding length without shouting." Decanter

“Ben Ryé" Passito di Pantelleria DOC 2022 dolce
Ben Ryé - the great naturally sweet and world-famous white wine from Donnafugata. The grapes are harvested in mid-August and left to dry naturally for 20 to 30 days. In September, the later ripening grapes are harvested and freshly processed. The hand-picked raisined berries are added to the must in several stages during fermentation. Light orange yellow in colour. Overwhelming aromas of apricot, peach and orange peel. Creamy notes of passion fruit and peach on the palate with an impressive elegance and length. For us, one of the best sweet wines in Italy every year! SUPERIORE.DE
"A gorgeous sweetie, showing a fragrant orange blossom nose, with an enticing range of glazed tangerine, apricot, dried mint and candied ginger, plus rich hints of graham cracker, vanilla and white chocolate. Long and lightly mouth-coating, with tangy blood orange peel acidity focusing this through the juicy finish." Wine Spectator
"Burnt blood orange, autumnal spices, candied ginger, dried nectarines and a hint of mint form a kaleidoscopic bouquet as the 2022 Ben Ryé blossoms in the glass. It feels heavy and velvety, yet remarkably fresh, flooding the palate with an abundance of tropical citrus, mango and papaya supported by a core of zesty acidity. The 2022 finishes with dramatic length and concentration. The finish of peach nectar and savoury spices is long lasting. The 2022 is sure to join the ranks of Ben Ryé's best vintages." Vinous
"Gorgeous flavours of sun-ripened peach, bitter orange peel and dried figs, infused with luxurious flowers that shine through the supple texture and wonderful caress of refreshing acidity. Very engaging and rich, with an unbroken length." Decanter

“Andrius” Sauvignon Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2022
Sauvignon Andrius matures on the lees for six months and is a lively, well-structured white wine with great varietal typicity. Ripe peaches, dried apricots, juicy honeydew melon, candied almonds, flowers and a hint of mint and white pepper combine with the elegant style to create a remarkable overall picture. Great class! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Andrius opens with a smoky blend of flint and dried herbs that fades into crushed green apples. It is luxuriously round and soft with ripe lime zest and green melon, all accompanied by juicy acidity. The 2022 finishes with good length that is lightly textured and ends with candied lemon peel and hints of mint. Wonderful." Vinous
"A mouth-filling Sauvignon with aromas and flavours of sliced grapefruit, pineapple and rind. It is full and layered with a freshness and brightness. Intense yet complex." James Suckling

“Alte Rebe” Vinschgauer Riesling Alto Adige DOC 2020
Franz and Bernadette Pratzner planted their first Riesling grapes more than 30 years ago. The small plot yields just 1,500 bottles per year. The primary rock soil, the dry warmth during the day and the cool nights provide excellent conditions for Vinschgau Riesling to thrive on a steep southern slope between 550 and 900 metres.
Brilliant golden yellow. Aromas of peach and apple combine in the bouquet with a well-dosed portion of minerality. Complex and multi-layered on the palate with yellow fruits, spices and lime. The harmonious overall picture of this exceptional wine is framed by a vibrant acidity and wonderful freshness, which will ensure a long life and further refinement in the bottle. Happy the one who can get hold of a few bottles of it! SUPERIORE.DE

The consistently award-winning Cuvée Prestige is a perfect archetype of its DOC: elegant, fresh, full, with a continuous perlage, elegant creaminess and a beautiful body. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium straw yellow with golden reflections and fine perlage. Baked apple, brioche, ripe pineapple and orange zest on the nose, with a delicate peach flavour on the finish. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with a fruity core and a very long final characterised by fruit and saltiness." Falstaff
"The Ca' del Bosco NV Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Extra Brut 45 Edizione is celebrating a great anniversary. Aroma of rich lemon and freshly baked pie crust. The effervescence is visibly very light and delicate, as is the palate. It is a very gentle sparkling wine with a medium freshness." Wine Advocate
"This fresh and focused version is sleek and finely knit, with the satiny mousse expanding on the palate and carrying flavors of poached apricot, crushed hazelnut, candied ginger and lemon curd. The finish is long and creamy." Wine Spectator
"The Extra Brut Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 45 Edizione is dreamy, with a sweet hint of smoke, sweet spice and Jordanian almonds complementing ripe apricots. The creamy foam and the mineral note of the fruit trees soothe, while a hint of raw hazelnuts provides a nice bitter contrast towards the end. The finish is remarkably fresh and of medium length, with a buttery richness and traces of young peach balanced by a hint of residual acidity." Vinous
"This perennial classic always seems to impress. The 45th vintage opens with aromas of baked apple, brioche, baking spices, crème fraîche, lemon zest and ginger. On the palate, it is characterised by ripe fruit, lemon curd and lingering minerality and finishes with lively acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Limitation of 6 articles per customerMerlot Collio DOC 2022
Now available again in small quantities after a break of many years: Dario Raccaro's Merlot is a deep, expressive wine that presents opulent tones of blackberry jam and blackcurrants. In other circumstances, such a fruit-driven wine would taste heavy and one-dimensional. However, thanks to the unique buffer of cool Collio air and the heavier clay soils, the wine shows a fascinating personality and, despite its concentration, a great elegance that increases with further aeration. A dense vein of minerals and spices is woven into the long finish. A true showpiece for this grape variety, which is also rarely found in the Collio. SUPERIORE.DE

“Avvoltore” Rosso Toscana IGT 2018
Elegant Sangiovese, refined with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Deeply dark and with a terrificbouquet, strongly fruity, concentrated and soft on the palate with slightly spicy and vegetal hints. The brilliant final of this savoury and juicy Maremma classic is highly individual and captivating every year. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, sparkling ruby red colour. On the nose, red peach, cranberries, some watermelon, fragrant and floral nuances, cinchona bark, black tea. Juicy on the palate, with a radiant, warm-hearted fruit centre, with noble earthy tones, precise, on noble notes of tea and cranberries, salty undertones, great!" Falstaff
"The 2018 Avvoltore is a very pretty, polished wine, perhaps a little less opulent than it could be, but not in a bad way. The lighter style of the year allows the Sangiovese to come into its own. Dark fruits, leather, liquorice and spices develop beautifully and become more and more persistent until the long finish. This wine is wonderfully successful." Vinous
"This mellow version exhibits plum, cherry, iron, Mediterranean scrub and resin flavors. Muscular yet balanced, offering beefy tannins in line with the lively acidity and sweet fruit. Fine length." Wine Spectator

“Terre Brune” Carignano del Sulcis Superiore DOC 2019
Terre Brune is a Carignano, with a small proportion of Bovaleddu, of seductive balance and fruitiness and one of the best reds in Sardinia every year. Matured in barriques, it has a fresh but ripe fruit on the nose with a slight hint of cocoa. On the palate, it has a beautiful depth with present tannins. An exemplary wine vinified with love and full of regional typicity. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark, dense ruby red colour with a slightly brightening rim. Ripe aromas of blackberry and blueberry, herbal flavours and hints of liquorice on the nose. Dense and fruity on the palate, very fine tannins and a long, balanced final." Falstaff
"Fine and creamy, this elegant red wine offers fireworks of raspberry and strawberry fruit, as well as accents of lavender, incense, tea rose and thyme. Juicy and fresh, with supple, fine-grained tannins that are evident on the mineral, tarry and salty finish." Wine Spectator
"A savory nose features aromas of old leather, top soil, coffee and herbs, for an overall spicy, earthy feel. The palate is tangy and fresh, with black-cherry notes and a potent floral component, before a bitter-chocolate undertone sets up a finish of resurgent earth and spices. Tannins and acid are lithe, but anchored in that earthy depth." Wine Enthusiast
"I love the flavours of liquorice and herbs alongside chocolate cherries and plums. There's also a hint of vanilla and praline. It's creamy, slightly chewy and full-bodied, with berry-like tannins and a long and wonderfully smooth finish. Makes you want more." James Suckling

Pure, deep and beautiful, citrus flavours, salt, minerality and with full, creamy fruit, balanced, long and with very good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Intense, sparkling lemon yellow colour. Elegant on the nose, with fine woody spice, ripe yellow fruit and a slightly buttery finish. Expansive on the palate, with a strong presence, fine fruit flavour and pronounced length." Falstaff
"This has a perfumed and complex nose of grapefruits, star fruit, rosemary, white pepper, nutmeg, peaches, dried flowers and cumin. It’s medium- to full-bodied with an oily texture. Layers of tropical fruit and spice, all held together by a zesty freshness. Fantastic Vermentino." James Suckling

“Rancia” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020
Sparkling, medium-dense ruby-garnet colour. The Rancia Riserva from the single vineyard of the same name is powerful and energetic, expressive and dense. The aroma is characterised by ripe, full-bodied fruit and mineral notes. The flavour is earthy, tannic and terroir-influenced, beautifully articulated, fine and with an enjoyable length. A wine that requires sensitivity and/or a few years of rest. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. On the nose, it smells of beautiful precious wood, lightly of coconut flakes, ripe cherries, cranberries and cold smoke. Compact on the palate with tightly woven tannins, beautifully savoury, opens up on the final with warm-hearted fruit, carried by a full-bodied, long finish." Falstaff
"Brilliant medium ruby red colour. Seductive, sophisticated nose of raspberries with oak notes and mineral, stony notes. Almost a little exotic. Juicy raspberry fruit with lots of gravelly tannins. Elegant and long. Undeniably attractive now." Jancis Robinson
"On the nose, small red fruits, redcurrants, then notes of laurel and peony. The mouthfeel is flavoursome, very taut, with a strawberry and juniper berry note that keeps reappearing and an excellent persistence." Luca Gardini
"Intense, with complex flavours of cherries, blackberries, violets, minerals and leafy undergrowth, this red wine is silky and almost racy. Harmonious and persistent, with a long, resonant aftertaste that reflects red fruit, mineral and spicy elements." Wine Spectator
"A sophisticated and very refined Rancia with sweet berries, cedar wood and a hint of chocolate. Medium body. Fresh and concentrated. A little restrained on the finish. It needs two or three years to develop." James Suckling
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia 2020 shows a beautiful minerality with dusty notes of crushed limestone or flint. This is the wine's special signature, which comes into its own particularly well in a warm vintage like this one. The Rancia also offers a superficial quality with red and violet fruit tones. The 2020 vintage shows lovely concentration and richness with wild cherry and plum, but ultimately the wine leaves an elegant mineral finish. The Rancia will need additional bottle ageing."

“Le Stanze del Poliziano” Rosso Toscana IGT 2019
Classic Super Tuscan made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, matured in French oak. In its very dense violet-red, clear fruity notes and a highly tempting hint of candied lemons inspire. The taste is very harmonious, rich and powerful, the tannins perfectly integrated, the spicy final beautifully persistent. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark, elegant ruby red with a gently lightening rim. Hearty and inviting nose with fine earthy components of cassis and wild berries, in addition fine leather, in the reverberation of dried violets. Densely woven and complex on the palate, showing considerable structure without appearing ponderous, finishing with a nice juiciness, already seems balanced and accessible." Falstaff
"This wine has a subtle and exotic wasabi spiciness and freshness of olive, cassis and blackcurrant leaf. Rich, flavourful and quite full-bodied on the palate with firm, polished tannins and bright acidity that helps to take the edge off the heaviness here. The finish is very lively and long. Bravo!" James Suckling
"Features pure flavors of black currant and blackberry, with accents of iron, cedar and oak spices. Tightly wound and dense, with tannins flexing their presence on the long finish. Energetic and fresh, with a lasting impression of sweet, ripe fruit." Wine Spectator

"Deep dark purple colour. On the nose, rich heart cherry, blackberry juice, dried violets, with fragrant black bread notes and some precious wood. Very juicy on the palate, tightly woven, fruity, stretches over the tongue with great and fresh notes, savoury, complex and drinky at the same time, exciting and vibrant." Falstaff
"The 2021 Lagrein Riserva Taber opens with plummy and very ripe aromas of confit blackberries, pitted plums and a spicy note of suede or new leather. Lagrein usually has a pronounced creamy side, and this can be felt here, especially through the wine's dense texture and soft tannins. This 2021 vintage is very extracted and dense." Wine Advocate
"A dark and ripe red that impresses with aromas of liquorice, chocolate, cassis and mulberries. Full-bodied and fleshy, with chewy but soft tannins and generous, spicy oak that complements the ripe fruit. An intense Lagrein." James Suckling
"The classic, almost impenetrable, deep blackberry red colour that is so typical of this grape variety. Blackberry and sloe fruit dominate the nose and palate, with notes of dark chocolate and roasted spices. Full and round with ripe tannins, the wine is approaching an early peak but should keep well over the next five to seven years." Decanter

“Sol” Chardonnay Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2022
The grapes for this magnificent Chardonnay come from vines that are over 60 years old and this is impressively reflected in the depth and complexity of the wine. The full bouquet exudes dusty white flowers and hints of vanilla pods, contrasted by crushed green apple, curry leaves and rocks. Sol is a contrasting, very complex Chardonnay expression with ripe fruit and a silky texture balanced by mineral acids and a hint of acidic citrus. On the palate, it leaves a vibrant tension and refreshment, while finishing with persistence and a hint of almond paste. SUPERIORE.DE
"I think it's safe to say that Serena Palazzolo and her husband Christian Patat are at the top of their game, which means that the wines from Ronco del Gnemiz are among the best produced in Friuli today. The choice is vast, as the transparency of the terroir is paramount here. It may be easier to sell and market one or two Sauvignons, Chardonnays or Friulano wines, but the differences between the individual hills, the individual sites and the age of the individual vineyards create such unique expressions that it would be a shame not to produce all six.
When you stand on the hill on which this vineyard is located and look out over the Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali, it becomes clear why these vineyard designations are so important for the future of the region. These hills rise and fall like bubbles, rising from the earth and dropping to the horizon. I can imagine how fascinated a winemaker would be by each of these unique sites. If you make a short list of the best producers in Friuli, you should put Ronco del Gnemiz at the top of the list." Vinous
"White flowers give way to chamomile, vanilla bean and young peach as the 2022 Chardonnay Sol slowly blossoms in the glass. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness and an elegant textural wave of pure silk, complicated by flinty minerals that saturate as citrus-tinge orchard fruits cascade across the palate. Spicy and intense, the 2022 finishes dramatically long and tactile in feel with a crunchy sensation as the resonance of lemon custard slowly fades. While already a total pleasure today, the 2022 will require further cellaring to come fully into focus. It's simply stunning." Vinous

“Vintage Tunina” Bianco Venezia Giulia IGT 2022
Vintage Tunina is predominantly made from Sauvignon and Chardonnay. There are also small amounts of Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana and Picolit. Bright golden yellow in colour, the intense, very elegant bouquet shows notes of honey and meadow flowers. Dry, soft, very fruity flavour with excellent persistence, fine spiciness and full body. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling straw yellow with olive green reflections. Medium expression on the nose, fine citrus fruit, cold smoke, hints of elderflower, grapefruit and crisp apricots. Good freshness on the palate, yeasty, with light phenolics and a cool core, currently still very young, still needs to age." Falstaff
"Lots of tangy fruit with zesty lemon, lime, lemongrass and raw ginger character and a hint of waxy undertones. Medium-bodied, dense and focused, with a frame of fruit and a solid finish. Lots of spices and green fruits as well as fresh herbs such as basil and sage." James Suckling

“Acininobili” Passito Bianco Veneto IGT 2018 dolce
Acininobili Bianco Passito is a stunning interpretation of the indigenous Vespaiola grape, offering impressive depth, complexity and personality. It is a superb dessert wine made from grapes that were air-dried for up to 120 days after harvest and developed Botrytis cinerea during the careful appassimento process. Basically, the same Vespaiola grapes are used here that are used for Torcolato. At the end of the drying process, the grapes that have developed noble rot are hand-selected and passed into this precious wine. If the noble rot does not appear, this wine is not made.
The rare result is truly exceptional with a deep aroma of candied orange peel, maple syrup and golden honey. Monumental and viscous in the drink, this alien elixir coats the palate with smooth and even waves of magnificent intensity. This is grape juice in purezza! SUPERIORE.DE
"Not too sweet, the 2018 Acininobili Bianco Passito is in fact special in its delivery of sweetness versus complexity, with dried fruit, apricot, honey, beeswax and tropical fruit. This viscous, full-bodied expression of Vespaiola shows some light spice and toasted almond." Wine Advocate
"Quite a discreet and restrained nose for this subtle passito. Fine honeysuckle, apricot, pickled kumquat with subtle sultanas and turmeric. Also some wet stones and butterscotch. The palate is supple and silky with a lovely gliding acidity. Great balance with quite a long, lively finish. Quite effortless." James Suckling

“Cuvée Prestige Rosé Edizione 45” Franciacorta DOCG brut
Elegance is the hallmark of the Prestige Cuvée Rosé, which is unfortunately strictly limited each year. The 45th edition consists of 80% Pinot Noir from the 2020 harvest year and 20% Chardonnay in equal parts from the 2019 and 2020 harvest years. Brilliant, bright pink colour. Delicate apricot colour, very light bouquet of peaches, light fruits and sultanas. The persistent flavour is soft and fruity with subtle notes of fresh toast. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sweet roses, liquorice, dried strawberries and incense form a seductive bouquet when the MV Extra Brut Rosé Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 45 Edizione blossoms in the glass. Its minerality is evident in the foreground, perfectly balanced by the plush, massaging bubbles that fade into hints of tart cherries. The finish is dramatically long and reminiscent of red candy, while a strong residual acidity keeps the mouth watering." Vinous
"A firm, mineral rosé with a fine mousse and a detailed flavour palette of dried black cherries and raspberries, chopped almonds and aromatic hints of dried flowers and herbs. There is a salty note on the finish that cleanses the wine." Wine Spectator
"It opens with aromas of wild strawberries, cranberry, fresh brioche and wild rose. Balanced between tart fruits, savory herbs and minerality, the wine dances on the palate with complexity and enjoyability in tandem, finishing with elegance and grace." Wine Enthusiast

Limitation of 12 articles per customer“Caiarossa” Rosso Toscana IGT 2010
The world-famous Caiarossa is an extremely exciting blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Syrah and Alicante, with the rich and dark fruit flavours of the Cabernet grapes taking centre stage. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright deep ruby. Enticing aromas of dark red cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, aromatic spices and mocha, plus a strong note of vanilla. Rich and dense on the palate, with rich, ripe red cherry and smoky herb flavors supported by oak-driven tannins on the smooth, long finish. I’m a big fan of this estate’s wines, which offer a Bordeaux touch to their Tuscan power and flesh (the proprietor also owns Chateau Giscours and du Tertre in Margaux)." Vinous
"An IGT Toscana blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah and Alicante, the 2010 Caiarossa is a tremendous wine. The bouquet is rich and compelling with deep layers of dark fruit, spice and chocolate. Given the complexity of the blend, it's hard to identify any single variety although the softness of Merlot and the structure of the two Cabernet grapes definitely comes through in the mouth." Wine Advocate
"A full-bodied red with so much ripe berry and plum fruit that it verges on jammy, yet it turns out velvety and delicious. Will improve with age." James Suckling

“W.... Dreams ..." Bianco Venezia Giulia IGT 2022
"W.... Dreams ... ......" has stood for "Where Dreams can happen" since the 2003 vintage and originates from "Where the Dreams have no end", which was first pressed with the 1987 harvest. The '96 to '02 vintages were labelled "Were Dreams now it's just Wine".
Expressive with aromas of lime blossom, jasmine, incense and warm peach skin, this wine crackles with vibrant acidity, delicately interwoven with layers of ripe yellow melon and apple fruit, salted almonds and candied ginger. A noble white wine that lingers for a long time. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, present straw yellow colour. Opens with subtle notes of smoke, then camomile, some apricot, light mineral components in the background. Juicy and straightforward on the palate, follows through with good tension, fine yellow fruit components, salty final." Falstaff

Vin Santo di Carmignano Riserva DOC 2014 dolce
Deep dark yellow. Rich, almost opulent impressions of candied apricots, orange zest and traces of fine yellow flowers on the nose. On the palate, fabulously viscous texture, multi-layered, very concentrated taste of candied fruits with a wonderfully polished sweetness. A great Vin Santo with a long, persistent finish and made to last. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dried figs, dried persimmon, toffee and a nutty character. Full and viscous with dried blood orange, spices and some salinity to it. Tense and textured with a delicate sweetness that has some citrusy edge to it." James Suckling
"The 2014 Vinsanto Riserva is a dark amber color in the glass. Spiced orange peels, dusty dried flowers, cloves and baked pears follow a mesmerizing mix of shaved cedar and pine. Frankly, there’s something new each time I return to the glass. This floods the palate with ample weight while showing a sweet and sour mix of vanilla custards, toffee, candied citrus and salted almond, which adds amazing contrasts. This lingers impossibly long yet incredibly fresh, repleting its aromatics throughout as hints of hazelnut and cocoa fade. The 2014 Vinsanto Riserva makes for a fantastic wine experience that should not be missed." Vinous
"Very dense, but with pinpoint freshness and cohesion. Extremely rich layers of apricot jam, dried apricots, and honey with a lovely texture and intensity on the refreshing finish." Decanter
