Delicate salmon pink colour. Fresh and subtle raspberry nose with a hint of pomegranate. Clean and precise flavour with fine acidity and subtle hints of red berries and some crisp Braeburn apple. The finish is long and supple - and again with a fine acid wire acidity that only Sean O'Callaghan can bring to the glass. An indispensable companion for happy and carefree days. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright salmon colour, sparkling. Very fragrant nose of fresh peach, white flowers, some cherry fruit, underpinned by light spice. Very juicy on the palate, clear, with a cool fruit centre, well-integrated acidity, delicately dancing, pure." Falstaff

"The 2023 Rosato is a 100% Sangiovese from vines that were harvested a few weeks before the harvest during a final thinning. The 2023 is layered and vibrant, with great depth and offers lovely complexity and character. This is another excellent entry-level wine from Tenuta di Carleone." Vinous

"Here is a crisp, saline and succulent rosé with forest berries, apricot skin and mild spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with bright acidity. Refreshing, balanced and textured, with an attractive, mouthwatering finish." James Suckling

The name Mare Antico (ancient sea) is a tribute to the marine fossils and shells found in the soils of Orvieto. It is a beautiful blend of 55% Grechetto, 20% Vermentino, 20% Chardonnay and 5% Procanico and is the house's flagship wine every year.

Mare Antico blows like a cool breeze from a mountain top, mixing crushed rock with raw almonds, a hint of sage, ginger and flint in its interesting bouquet. It flows across the palate with skilful ease, long and citrusy. It also has a lovely inner sweetness contrasted by candied lime and salty minerals. Finishes structured and crisp, with a crisp green apple and residual acidity that begs for the next sip. The complexity of this wine is unrivalled, coupled with an overwhelming balance. Mare Antico is beautiful today, but also has a great future. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, light golden yellow with slightly greenish nuances. Shy on the nose, with hints of lime, followed by subtle meadow herbs. Creamy texture on the palate with a fine fruit melt, pleasantly juicy with medium length." Falstaff

"The Orvieto Classico Superiore Mare Antico 2022 is unobtrusive and delicate in the glass, it smells of flint, white smoke and sliced pears. It is pleasantly round and supple, with a hint of salty minerals that create remarkable contrasts. Ripe fruit flavours swirl throughout the wine and are supported by a zesty acidity. The finish is long and slightly tannic, leaving a youthful tension and a hint of bitter lemon that tantalises the cheeks. The 2022 may be a little behind today, but it is designed for long and fruity ageing." Vinous

Sweet, ripe cherry and berry fruits are underlined by notes of liquorice and mint in this straightforward red wine. The fruit is fused with a layer of dusty tannins, and the wine finishes with a lively feel, leaving you wanting more. Tovasacco is an old-school Nebbiolo, and that's exactly why it's so good. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderful cuvée of Greco and Fiano. An opulent potpourri of passion fruit, peach and honeydew melon on the nose. Not too heavy on the palate, but rather prancing and elegant with a wonderfully fresh structure. Beautiful balance, complex and full-bodied finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's a fun and versatile non-carbonated white wine to bring chilled to an al fresco lunch. A blend of equal parts Fiano and Greco, the Montevetrano 2022 Core Bianco has a lean approach with enough texture to support fragrant apples, honey and white currants. The wine's flavour palette is very nice, and the best part is the salty or mineral end note that adds a spark of energy." Wine Advocate

"A beautiful blend of Fiano and Greco, offering rich flavours of ripe fruit salad as well as notes of pressed flowers and minerals. Medium-bodied with an intense palate, including a phenolic note that gives it a structured feel." James Suckling

"The 2022 Bianco Core wafts up from the glass with a rich blend of peach preserves and confectionary spice, complicated by a hint of candied lime. This is soothingly round with a core of saline minerality to balance, as a core of zesty acidity enlivens tart orchard fruits. The 2022 tapers off with a tart lemon-pith concentration yet is also remarkably fresh, leaving nuances of mint to fade slowly." Vinous

The Maggiorina vineyards in the municipality of Boca and Prato Sesia are situated at altitudes between 400 and 450 metres. The vines are now between 40 and 100 years old. Behind the name Maggiorina lies an ancient heritage of vineyard cultivation dating back to Roman times. The cultivation of vines in the hills of Novara was already mentioned by Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) in his "storia naturalis". For centuries, the maggiorina system was the only way of planting vineyards in Boca: three vines develop in the four cardinal directions and form a square like a goblet (quadretto maggiorino).

Maggiorina is produced from Croatina and Nebbiolo grapes as well as 10 other indigenous varieties and is a so-called mixed set with a lot of bite, sour cherry and blackcurrant flavours and an incredible drinking flow. Maggiorina is fresh, lively, delicately perfumed and at the same time fruity, mineral and spicy. The bright red cherry fruit and a whole range of floral and herbal notes give the wine its striking aromatic presence. We are enamoured with its energy and personality, combined with a certain wildness and breed that is extremely appealing and distinctive. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid-to-light crimson. Light impression of fragrant herbs and red fruits – mountain wild. A tight grip from both fine tannins and high acidity. Perfumed yet quite full-bodied."

"The red estate wine. A wine that tastes of Manincor; a wine that you won't find anywhere else. The essence of the hills around the vineyard and the lake, full of strength and warmth." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

Il Conte (formerly Réserve del Conte) is a fine South Tyrolean blend of Lagrein, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark cherry, raspberry, grilled herbs, rose petals, fresh leather and liquorice on the nose. Rich and juicy on the palate, with a long and elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, medium purple colour with dark reflections. Notes of cold smoke, dark fruit and some tobacco on the nose. Clearer on the palate with bold fruit, firm tannins, fresh acidity, pleasantly juicy on the finish." Falstaff

"A restrained wine with notes of straw, graceful flowers and cassis. A dense palate with medium body, crisp acidity and chalky tannins that linger on the finish. It is fruity and juicy." James Suckling

Valcanzjria is a cuvée of Chardonnay, Carricante and Albanello. Fragrant with a fine fresh-oxidative note of white flowers and limes, full-bodied and yet fresh on the palate. The attentive taster finds the terroir-typical traces of flint and looks forward to further promising bottle ageing. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Blanc Lepus (Latin for field hare) in light, bright straw yellow with green reflections. Wonderful aromas of fresh bread, dried field flowers, apple, peach and a hint of almonds. On the palate, its distinctive personality is accompanied by exciting fruit, structure and harmonious acidity. The 5-month maturation on the fine lees gives Lepus additional complexity and fullness. SUPERIORE.DE

Kleos emerges from the glass with a musky blend of blackcurrant, savoury herbs and crushed stone. Silky smooth on the palate with a depth of ripe red and black fruits balanced by a hint of citrus and spice. Finishes incredibly fresh yet powerful and lightly structured. Already very pleasant now, but due to its youthfulness deserves a short stay in the cellar to fully develop its tension. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Kleos is stunning, displaying a basket of violets, roses and lavender that gives way to cloves, sweet smoke and crushed blackberries. It opens with a lovely inner sweetness, displaying vividly ripe wild berry fruits that are perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity and chalky mineral tones. The 2022 keeps the energy remarkably high, tapering off long and staining yet still incredibly fresh, with a crisp crunch of tart cherry that punctuates the finale." Vinous

Scalabrone presents itself generously every year, but also incredibly fresh. It shows ripe strawberries with a hint of sweet cream, tropical kiwi and lime. It washes over the palate with lightness, carrying ripe red fruit, a hint of melon and a savoury minerality. The finish is long and flanked by lively acidity and salty minerals. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah is perfectly balanced and makes this flavoursome rosato one of the most vibrant in the appellation every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark sparkling pink. Opens invitingly to raspberries and juicy sour cherries, underpinned by the scent of violets. Very fresh on the palate, dense fruit core, compact and juicy through to the medium-long finish." Falstaff

"Before the advent of the famed reds of the area, the first officially established DOCs in Bolgheri were based on white and rosé wines, and Antinori's 'Scalabrone' was one of the first wines to be bottled under the DOC Bolgheri Rosato. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a tiny portion of Syrah produce a delightful rosé with a Mediterranean touch. Bright pink at the core with a pale reflection, lovely bouquet of cherries and wild berries with a rose petal hint, then a fruity palate with lively acidity and a pleasant finish." Decanter

"The 2023 Rosato Scalabrone from Bolgheri shines almost neon pink in the glass. The seriousness of the aromas and flavours belies the cheerful colour - it is multi-layered and complex. Blood orange, paprika, bergamot, stemmed herbs, forest floor and a hint of earthiness lend it many nuances. The tangy, electric acidity immediately flows over the palate and gives it brightness and vigour. The finish is long and clean, culminating in a hint of sweet red cherry and a welcome touch of ripeness. This wine is suitable both as an aperitif and for dinner." Vinous

Tefra (Greek word for ash) is a 100% Nerello Mascalese and comes from a parcel in the Contrada Rampante on the northern slopes of Etna between the municipalities of Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia. Bright pink colour. Delicate and very clear nose of raspberries and wild strawberries, oranges and herbs. Fresh, juicy and vibrant in the mouth, very tasty racy acidity, finishes with good cool length. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Rosato Etna Tefra is remarkably beautiful with its platinum pink colour. It offers a perfumed, floral bouquet. The palate is energetic, with tangy acidity and mineral tones, while crisp fruit flows through the nose. The finish is of medium length. A young strawberry and salty note slowly fade away." Vinous

"Notes of ripe nectarines and pink cherries with dried flowers and citrus peel leading to a medium body with juicy acidity. Crisp and easy to drink." James Suckling

"The pale pink of the glass belies the intense aromatics and rich mouthfeel of this rosé. Wild strawberries and peach candy on the nose give way to more berries and stone fruit on the palate, with a bit of blood orange and lime and a lick of quartz on the finish." Wine Enthusiast

Ruby red with orange-coloured reflections, elegant bouquet of spices and liquorice. Silky, warm with sweet tannins on the palate, then ripe fruit and a hint of vanilla in the flavour. A serious, powerful and well-structured Nebbiolo that lingers with accents of earth and eucalyptus. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright, sparkling silver-grey with a persistent perlage. The nose is fragrant with white roses, juicy pears and white peach. Juicy on the palate, radiant and with a great fruity sweetness, it opens up with presence and balance, pleasantly dosed in all its facets. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with little perlage. Intense nose of pear and flowers. Juicy on the palate, with a good fruity flavour and somewhat sharp acidity, with a slightly predominant sweetness at the back." Falstaff

Solosole is a West Tuscan Vermentino in its purest form and shines with a rich, full-bodied flavour as well as a beautiful spiciness and acidity. Candied lime, ginger, passion fruit and crushed rocks are beautifully emphasised in this crisp, exotic Vermentino. The unusual flavour profile makes Solosole a delicious and serious white wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with dinner. One of our absolute favourites. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with a sparkling centre. Crisp fruit on the nose of nectarine and grapefruit, with light mineral notes on the finish. Taut on the palate, with plenty of tension, very present, compact fruit core, also slightly full-bodied." Falstaff

"Honeysuckle and lemon verbena on the nose, followed by apricot, pineapple and Meyer lemon, the acidity pulsates like an electric current. The fine-grained texture winds around and through the penetrating purity of the fruit, giving the wine an astonishing length. And then there is a silky finish that tingles with heather, thyme and white pepper. An infinitely superior Vermentino." Jancis Robinson

"Fresh and characterful Vermentino, with notes of apples, white peaches, raw almonds and peach pits. Lots of flowers too. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and structured with good volume and delicious fruit. Dry, juicy and mineral with a lingering finish. A hint of liquorice." James Suckling

Brilliant, light straw yellow colour and powerful, persistent perlage. Aromas of young pear and green apple on the nose, with citrus notes. Very fine on the palate, smooth with fine fruit, the acidity harmonises well with the delicate melt. An elegant, quiet Prosecco with plenty of length, character and personality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh apple notes, inviting; smooth foam, fresh, lemony-apricot fruit, fine, long, very nice." (JLF) Merum

"Bright silver-green colour with persistent perlage. Fragrant, very fresh nose, with multi-layered floral nuances, plus fresh stone fruit and fine sage. Very fruity on the palate, with a wonderful perlage, light and airy, balanced, precise, clear - marvellous!" Falstaff

Medium golden yellow colour. Spicy, intense nose with aromas of roses, lychee and lily blossom. Powerful and round on the palate with a full, creamy texture. Piquant and mineral notes are flanked by a fresh acidity and notes of apricot and honeydew melon. Gewürztraminer Stoass ends harmoniously in a finely fruity and smooth finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has characteristic lychee and rose petal aromas, but also white pepper, fennel and grapefruit rind, giving it a peppery, subtly pithy undertone. It’s very fresh with a medium body and a lightly oily texture." James Suckling

Light golden yellow in colour, intense, multi-layered aroma, clear notes of lychee and grapefruit. Beautiful juicy fruit on the palate, initially playful, then full of spices. Very fine, fresh and not too heavy Gewürztraminer. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Grigio Turmhof is a rich Pinot Gris with a fresh scent of apple and yellow peach, pure and round in flavour, with strong fruit, delicate acidity, good length and always with the refinement of the house. SUPERIORE.DE

"Toast, white pepper and cloves add plenty of interest to the stone and citrus fruit. It’s full-bodied and explosive in flavor, structured with both phenolics and bright acidity. Lots of energy." James Suckling

The Roero Arneis from Prunotto is beautifully dense and fruity. Rich straw yellow in colour, a bouquet of flowers and peaches with the typical mineral notes of the vine. A perfect balance between acidity and alcohol on the palate, with a remarkably long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
