“Il Bruciato” Rosso Bolgheri DOC 2022
A convincing and racy cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, as well as small parts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot with a marvellous bouquet of dark cherries, leather, mocha and lavender. Multi-layered and powerful on the palate with a cornucopia of spice and dark fruit. Well-structured tannins flank the extremely flavourful and expressive finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep dark, ruby-red centre with a delicate rim. Initially shows earthy notes on the nose, then cassis, plum and toasted wood. Full-bodied fruit on the palate with velvety tannins, balanced and persistent through to the juicy finish." Falstaff
"The 2022 Il Bruciato is a fine entry-level offering from Antinori's Guado al Tasso property. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, cloves and espresso are front and center. This juicy, lush red is classic Bolgheri." Vinous
"Smooth and expressive, with aromas of blackcurrants, black cherries and blackberries as well as hints of liquorice, iron and rosemary. This red wine is taut, with firm tannins that give it a compact finish." Wine Spectator
"The popular Marchesi Antinori 2022 Bolgheri Rosso Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato is a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that offers generous black fruit, plum, black prune, spice and light toasty flavours. On the palate, the wine tapers to a medium-weight texture. This hot vintage reveals ripe fruit characteristics with soft tannins and an approachable style." Wine Advocate

“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
"Delicate golden yellow with green reflections. The first nose has a clear green flavour of gooseberry and green mango, with a little air clearly elderberry and spicy herbs. Slightly spicy on the palate, dominated by citrus fruits, well-integrated acidity and a balanced, medium-long finish." Falstaff
"Spicy white fruit, elegant gooseberries and sea salt. Delicious and slightly salty, with a medium body and a tactile, mealy finish. A pure, outstanding South Tyrolean Sauvignon Blanc that you can enjoy right now." James Suckling

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 (BIO)
Chianti Classico by Giovanni Manetti offers a profound, densely woven and still very youthful bouquet of dark and red berries and fine spicy notes. The dry, cherry flavour with long-lasting impressions, well-extracted tannins and the acidity typical of Sangiovese show a clearly recognisable terroir character. Very clear, straightforward, long, always fresh and juicy, with excellent strength and balance. SUPERIORE.DE
"Elegant, shiny ruby red colour with a dark core. Intense and memorable nose of black cherry, dark chocolate and a hint of mocha. Silky tannins, concentrated fruit and fine acidity on the palate, with a grippy final." Falstaff
"Deep carmine red colour. Tantalising nose of deep red fruits with hints of white pepper and leather. Juicy red fruits, with fine-grained, abundant tannins that unfold on the finish." Jancis Robinson
"The organic Fontodi 2021 Chianti Classico shows a special density in this vintage. There are ripe fruit flavours with blackberries and plums. The fruit also has a rich fleshiness or thickness that contributes to the overall dimension and mouthfeel of this approachable wine. The bright acidity brings out all these elements even better." Wine Advocate
"Fontodi's 2021 is a symbol of the exceptional quality of Chianti Classico at the Annata level. It exudes the wild, rugged and dry Tuscan landscape against a backdrop of dark, multi-layered fruit. Hints of coffee and liquorice mingle with concentrated black cherry and blackberry. With ripe, gravelly tannins, this wine shows the power of the vintage without being overbearing, retaining its charismatic energy. It's worth waiting a few more months before drinking, but if cellared properly, it can easily impress for a decade." Decanter
"The 2021 Chianti Classico is a classic wine from the estate, made in the restrained style that has become the norm here of late. There is plenty of richness from Panzano, but more energy and less heaviness than was the norm a few years ago. Giovanni Manetti and his team have given the Chianti Classico a wonderful sophistication. Spices, flowers, mocha and blue fruits linger, all wrapped in extremely fine tannins." Vinous
"This red wine combines the fruity and spicy side of Sangiovese and shows flavours of cherries and blackberries, accompanied by eucalyptus, juniper and wild rosemary. Lively and fluid, with tension in the complex, mineral aftertaste." Wine Spectator

“Il Sasso” Carmignano DOCG 2021
Intense, compact, ruby red colour. An intense mixture of black raspberry, wild herbs, air-dried meat, thyme and smoke flows from the glass. Refined and lively on the palate with delicate, salty acidity and berry fruit flavours. As it progresses, a beautiful cherry centre with a hint of sweet blood orange that keeps you coming back to the glass. This is already a pure thrill for the palate, and with further bottle ageing it will reveal its full depth and sophistication. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich, bright ruby red colour with a light garnet hue. On the nose, rich heart cherries and ripe plums, then cassis and slightly leathery. Sweet and fruity on the palate, with velvety tannins, juicy and drinky, long finish." Falstaff
"Rich redcurrants, baked cherries, some sweet spices and hazelnuts. Lots of juicy fruit on the medium to full-bodied palate with firm tannins and a fleshy centre. Spicy, ripe finish at the end." James Suckling
"This red is about purity and silkiness, with black currant, cherry, violet, graphite and rosemary aromas and flavors defined by vibrant acidity. Harmonious, with fine length, this is set to evolve over the next decade." Wine Spectator
"The Carmignano Il Sasso 2021 impresses with its rich bouquet of crushed plums, sage and balsamic spice. On the palate it is pure energy, silky yet supple with racy acidity and a depth of crunchy wild berries, underpinned by tactile minerals and a hint of mandarin orange. The 2021 refreshes the palate and finishes structured and long, while purple flowers and blackberry notes fade away. This super seductive Il Sasso will win many hearts." Vinous

“Conte della Vipera” Bianco Umbria IGT 2023
Conte della Vipera is a tribute to the first owners of the castle and the label refers to the 13th century chapel of St John, which is located on the estate. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 250 to 350 metres above sea level on soils rich in fossilised marine deposits.
The sophistication of this wine is largely due to the composition of the grape varieties: fresh, vertical and aromatic Sauvignon Bianco, soft and tropical Sémillon. Straw yellow in colour with bright green reflections. The bouquet is full and broad and pleasant with notes of flowers, white fruit and pineapple, which combine with citrus notes. A pleasant freshness on the palate, then notes of bergamot and grapefruit on the final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant straw yellow with white-golden nuances. Intense nose of ripe apricot, meadow herbs and a hint of beeswax. Very direct and fruity on the palate with grapefruit flavours and racy acidity right through to the finish." Falstaff
"The 2023 Conte della Vipera is thoroughly savoury, with dusty dried flowers, wild herbs and crushed green apples. It soothes with its cooling acidity, while a wave of tart fruit and minerals drench it. The lemony concentration tingles the cheeks as the 2023 tapers off with a medium length yet lingering tension that calls the taster back to the glass for more." Vinous
"Lean, balanced and fresh, with fragrant chive blossom, grapefruit peel and white pepper accentuating the ripe green melon and peach flavours. Flinty finish." Wine Spectator

“I Capitelli 40 anni” Vino Bianco 2022 dolce
The Passito I Capitelli is like a delicious sweet, with a lightly mouth-coating and finely knitted palette of flavours that includes fruity notes of papaya, candied watermelon, preserved Meyer lemon and dried fig, with aromatic accents of tea rose, star anise and pickled ginger just above the dryness level. Luscious and juicy, with fresh acidity on the slightly roasted finish, great! SUPERIORE.DE
"A sweet and nutty passito with aromas and flavors of dried peach and apricot. Some floral complexity, too. It’s full and sweet, but contained, without any cloying or syrupy character. All in all, it’s a nimble, balanced and inviting sweet wine." James Suckling
"Silky and lightly mouth-coating, this bright, smooth bonbon offers a core of mandarin sorbet, mango and passion fruit coulis. It offers aromatic accents of candied ginger, jasmine, graham cracker and chive blossom and has a long and creamy finish." Wine Spectator

Castello di Ama, one of the highest vineyards in the Classico region, produces one of the most delicious wines in its appellation every year with Ama.

Complex, full-bodied and with fine-grained tannins on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium, bright ruby red colour with a slightly brightening rim. Spicy, fruity and slightly fleshy on the nose with aromas of cranberries, wild berries and some undergrowth. Delicate fruit flavours on the palate, good balance and still a little youthful tannin." Falstaff
"The 2022 is full of youthful vim. Scents of cinnamon, red plum and dark cherry percolate on the nose, and red rose lurks in the background. Medium in weight, it offers a mouthful of cherry pits and gravelly stones inflected with white pepper. Very juicy, peppy acidity joins a light, chalky tannin frame." Decanter
"The 2022 Chianti Classico Ama opens with a burst of dark red cherry/plum fruit. Vibrant and generous, with bright acids, the Ama is an absolute delight. Its forward personality and impeccable balance make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so." Vinous
"The fresh and floral nature of this wine is more than evident, with black cherry and orange undertones. The palate is medium-bodied and refined, with silky tannins and mineral highlights. Tangy and crisp at the end." James Suckling

“Carminium” Carménère Colli Berici DOC 2019
The clay content in the forest soils of this incredible, almost untouched area around Oratorio di San Lorenzo gives the wine a unique note. Rich red with blue-violet reflections. Intense on the nose with notes of medicinal herbs, ripe red berries, blood orange, pepper and spices. On the palate then very precise and clear with dark fruits, a delicious spiciness and tannins that are still firm when young. Already seductive today and then elegant and silky with increasing bottle maturity. SUPERIORE.DE
pepnose. Juicy fruit channeled through a dense network of dry, firm, super-spicy tannins. A beautiful lift of dried herbs (sage, rosemary, lavender and oregano) and, a bit like their Cabernet, this lovely savoury-sweet element that is like oven-roasted cherry tomatoes with roasted vine and white pepper. Very gouleyant." Jancis Robinson
"Dark ruby red with a violet core. Scents of thyme and tarragon, black pepper on the nose, paired with blackcurrant and orange zest. On the palate juicy, dense and compact, well-integrated tannins, goes with vigour into the long finish." Falstaff
"The 2019 Carménère Carminium is remarkably floral and fresh, exuding notes of redcurrant, rosemary and ground ginger reminiscent of pepper. It is a model of purity with bright acidity lifting the mineral red fruits while savoury spices swirl through the nose. The 2019 finishes classically dry and lightly textured, leaving tart raspberry notes on the finish. This is an incredibly beautiful vintage for Carminium." Vinous
"It has a complex nose of dried thyme, tobacco, sage, tar and blackberries. Also peppercorns and cloves. It is medium-bodied, with firm tannins. Finely integrated and concentrated, with a firm finish. Better after 2024." James Suckling

“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

“Piera Dolza” Torchiato di Fregona Passito Bianco Conegliano DOCG 2015 dolce
Piera Dolza means "gentle stone" and is the name for a very rare, historic dessert wine that was first produced around 1600 in the traditional Prosecco area around Conegliano. It is only thanks to the initiative of 7 small local producers that it is produced again today.
This delicious wine is a blend of three different local grape varieties: Glera (Prosecco), Verdiso and Boschera. The grapes are dried on racks for 6-8 months and are then pressed by hand with a wine press. The resulting concentrated must ferments in barriques for a month and matures there for another three years. As with many other passito wines, tradition dictates that the barriques in which the wine is stored are not completely full. This leads to gradual oxidation and towards the end of the ageing process results in characteristics similar to those of sherry or Marsala.
This gives the final product great longevity, which means that an opened bottle can be enjoyed for several weeks. The wine is amber in colour, very complex on the nose with a bouquet of ripe and dried fruit with notes of apricots, almonds and figs. There are also citrus fruits that are a perfect balance to the sweet spices and vanilla. On the palate, it is a real explosion for the taste buds: residual sweetness and alcohol content make the wine soft and full-bodied, but without being too broad or too sweet. The velvety feel is entwined with a beautiful acidity that refreshes the palate and makes the wine very long. The brilliant final is characterised by notes of citrus fruits, caramel, almond and peach. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling, light amber. Shows notes of dried porcini mushrooms, baked apple, plus almonds and baked apple on the nose. Spreads richly on the palate, notes of a basket full of dried fruit, seems almost dry in the final due to a slightly bitter component." Falstaff

The rich garnet-red Pelago in Riserva quality made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano and small amounts of Merlot has a captivating aroma of raspberries, strawberry jam, cloves, tobacco and mocha. On the palate, it reveals a noble spiciness and a hearty, juicy and very long flavour. Pelago 2019 should turn out to be a real charmer after some ageing. SUPERIORE.DE
"Light ruby red colour with a garnet-red hue. Rum pot, rich black cherry and ripe plums on the nose, then slightly spicy. Fruity-sweet, juicy, drinky on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a long final." Falstaff
"Lush fruit that presents the blue-black fruit, Napeta spice and ink dust of a ripe Cabernet and the velvety red plum of a Montepulciano. A hint of cigar smoke pervades the long, fine-grained, slightly chunky tannins. A hint of freshly gathered wild mushrooms, a touch of pine needles, and then the finish is deep and lush and juicy red soaked with Montepulciano fruit. Modern and international, but stylish, and the Montepulciano from Le Marche shines through." Jancis Robinson
"This blend is a rich, dense and concentrated wine that shows well today or will age in the cellar. It opens with Cabernet leading the way with aromas of blackberry, cassis and tobacco as hints of savory herbs and spice quickly follow. Concentrated but with a lift, the palate shows power with some restraint as flavors of plum, coffee and liquorice all seamlessly meld together on the long and savory finish." Wine Enthusiast
"A pleasant, fruity red wine with the character of blackcurrants and blackberries and a lovely mineral freshness. Medium-bodied with excellent balance and non-distracting tannins. It radiates clarity and drinkability. Very well made." James Suckling
"The Pelago 2019 seduces with a beguiling blend of crushed plums, sage and tobacco, underpinned by sweet smoke. This is pure elegance, silky and enveloping with cooling acidity to balance. A wave of polished red and blue fruit flows easily across the palate. Tart blackberries and a hint of citrus resonate as the 2019 finishes long and powerful, with a hint of minerality that leaves a crisp feel as a layer of fine-grained tannins tug at the cheeks. This wine is still very young, but full of potential." Vinous

“Sergioveto” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2019
Bright ruby red colour. Warm, balsamic bouquet of black cherry, some plum and blackcurrant syrup, then firm, complex and spicy on the palate, the fruit beautifully present and with a wonderfully long finish with notes of leather and sweet tobacco. The well-structured tannins perfectly round off the overall picture of a serious red with personality and character. The 20/24-month ageing in French oak barrels (25-35 hl), followed by a further year in the bottle, enriches the aromatic complexity of the wine with a clear focus on balance and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. Plum and Amarena cherries on the nose, with elderberries and mint, reminiscent of roasted apple. Juicy, radiant on the palate, spreads over the tongue with great play and lots of tension, slightly salty, finesse-rich and long finish." Falstaff
"A 100% expression of Sangiovese, the Rocca delle Macìe 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva SerGioveto shows hints of baked plum, candied fruit and spice with dusty mineral and good overall definition." Wine Advocate
"The nose layers soil and pencil shavings on top of strawberries and cherries and then chocolate and coffee, before the palate luxuriates in chocolate-cherry notes with a texture that's dense and velvety but maintains its integrity with angular tannins." Wine Enthusiast
"Subtle and complex aromas of red berries, mushrooms, blood orange and nutmeg. A medium-bodied Chianti Classico, showing dusty tannins and juicy, savory berry fruit on the palate. Silky and effortless." James Suckling
"Rich, laced with cherry, raspberry, earth and underbrush flavors. Revealing weighty, well-integrated tannins, this is balanced overall and tightens up on the finish." Wine Spectator

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
Elegant, delicate Chianti Classico and one of the best of its appellation every year: light red colour, aromas of strawberry and elderberry, fresh fruit on the palate, beautifully juicy and balanced, enormously supple on the finish. Possesses polish, elegance and, despite its visually high price, a very good value. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant, rich ruby red colour. Clear, inviting nose, opens with redcurrants and ripe blackberries, followed by orange peel with eucalyptus. Juicy and round on the palate, supple, fine-meshed tannins, slightly salty, stimulating to drink, elegant, medium finish." Falstaff
"Brilliant medium to deep ruby red colour. Initially spicy and mineral on the nose, with a shy, brooding fruit underneath. Juicy, tangy cherry fruit in abundance on the palate. Great depth and fantastic, enveloping, almost smooth tannins. Lively." Jancis Robinson
"The Chianti Classico 2021 impresses with its light colour and medium-bodied structure. It has a remarkable textural depth and supportive structure. This is a very beautiful and expressive wine. Dried herbs, mint, spices and crushed red berry fruit are beautifully characterised. Bright acids and floral nuances round out the whole." Vinous
"Complex, balanced and smooth in texture, this red wine has aromas and flavours of cherries, strawberries, rosehips, iron and almonds. Refined, with a lively acidity that defines the delicious finish." Wine Spectator
"Gradually, it reveals characteristic nuances of brushwood, redcurrants, rosehips, strawberries and pepper. On the palate, it is juicy and light-footed, concentrated and with pure and persistent red berry flavours. Taut, integrated tannins provide definition and it finishes with garden-fresh herbs." Decanter
"The Isole e Olena 2021 Chianti Classico is a gently structured and charming wine that is impeccably closed and balanced. It offers excellent value at this price. This wine is packed with bright fruits, wild cherries and blue flowers. It finishes with a touch of refreshing acidity befitting Sangiovese." Wine Advocate
"Super-spicy Chianti that's all about liquorice root, restrained black cherries, fresh violets and meaty notes. It seems to be a serious effort, with graphite flavours joined by firm, chalky and chewy tannins, crisp acidity and a super-polished finish." James Suckling

“Carleone” Chianti Classico DOCG 2022
Unmistakable interpretation of the Chianti Classico: sparkling ruby colour with a pronounced garnet hue. Very inviting aroma of cherries and delicate meadow herbs, with a nutty touch. Medium-bodied on the palate, again wonderfully juicy fruit, cool, mineral style, very finely structured and balanced, with lively animo, lingers quite long and makes you want the next glass. The perfect accompaniment to Italian dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

“Collepiano” Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG 2020
Aroma of dried black berries with nutty tones, tar, tobacco, candy, dark caramel and a light woody note. Powerful in the mouth, ripe, again partly dried fruit with a little cocoa-spicy wood flavours, slightly compote-like on the palate, dense and persistent, warming alcohol, present, predominantly crumbly tannin, some tar, behind it tobacco and herbs. Wonderful, partly salty finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“Essence” Franciacorta DOCG 2018 brut
Franciacorta Millesimato brut perfectly combines the elegance of Chardonnay and the aristocracy of Pinot Nero. A rich bouquet with hints of apple, jasmine blossom, camomile and sea salt. Round and aromatic on the palate, with a very fine, persistent perlage and creamy foam. This Brut accompanies starters or the entire menu. Perfect! SUPERIORE.DE
"Greenish-yellow with silver reflections. Fresh butter, citrus fruits and herbs on the nose. Creamy note, very clear flavour, floral nuances, very pleasant and linear. Long, balsamic finish." Falstaff
"The 2018 Brut Franciacorta Essence opens with an airy blend of crushed apples, raw almonds and white flowers. It’s chiseled within, striking deeply with mineral-tinged bubbles that slowly round out and sweeten as this travels across the palate. Custard and baked pear hints linger as the 2018 finishes with medium-length and crisply refreshing." Vinous
"Fresh ripe peaches reveal a sorbet-like, soft and round texture on the palate. Gently nutty and toasty with a lot of fruit." James Suckling
