Amber golden yellow. Fresh, sweet nose of apricots, candied fruits and dried sultanas. Fine honey flavour on the palate, notes of dried fruit and braised pear. Long and with a fine acid wire that never makes this famous dessert wine from the island of Pantelleria seem sticky or broad. SUPERIORE.DE

"Candied oranges, lemon cordial, quince and stem ginger on the nose. Honeyed and sweet, full of candied fruit and gingerbread notes on a luscious finish." James Suckling

The Verdicchio Podium has a strong personality with its aroma of citrus fruits, broom and lime blossom, tropical fruits and almonds. The flavour is perfectly structured, balanced and dynamic in its various components, spicy, mineral and with an unbeatably harmonious, spicy finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale straw yellow with green-gold nuances. Salty, mineral bouquet with notes of salt lemon, almond blossom and a touch of fumé. Silky texture on the palate, with tart fruit, very juicy and a subtle mineral finish." Falstaff

"A vibrant white, with pleasing buoyancy to the fine frame of acidity as it boosts flavors of Canary melon, white peach, almond blossoms and grated ginger. Sleek and well-meshed on the lingering, saline-laced finish." Wine Spectator

"The Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Podium 2021 is delicate and restrained, it needs to be coaxed to reveal its pretty bouquet of young peach, raw almond and sweet smoke. It is elegant, with a silky texture and admirable weight, but retains its wonderful energy. Fresh acidity and saline minerals enliven its rich, ripe nectarine and pear centre. The 2021 finishes long and colourful, leaving a youthful tension as vanilla custard and candied citrus fade away. Even though it is very pleasant to drink today, this is a vintage for the cellar. It's worth noting that the Podium is made without oak, just stainless steel and cement, so we taste the pure fruit." Vinous

Nero di Lupo is - in contrast to many other single-varietal Nero d'Avola - a fresh and rather light wine, but no less interesting. Intense aroma of sour cherries and herbs, the bright, friendly taste is exceedingly fruity, lively and silky. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Nero di Lupo impresses with its savory blend of grilled sage, flinty crushed rocks and citrus-tinged red currants. It’s round in feel with lively acids to balance, as sour cherry mixed with hints of tangerine gives way to saline-mineral tones toward the close. A bitter trace and nuances of plum skins linger through the long and spicy finale. The Nero di Lupo is a zesty, varietal Nero d'Avola that will excel at the dinner table." Vinous

Medium ruby red colour. A violet note on the nose with delicate hints of vanilla and spices. Powerful, fresh and very precise on the palate with dominant fruit and plenty of energy. A fine spiciness and saltiness on the medium-long finish. Very balanced and delicious. SUPERIORE.DE

"A crunchy and delicious red with berries, white pepper and other spices. Medium body, creamy tannins. Juicy at the end." James Suckling

Ruby-violet colour, powerful, accessible aroma with notes of plums and raspberries, very inviting. Discreet spicy aromas on the palate, opens with powerful, gripping tannin, long final. SUPERIORE.DE

Here is one of the most beautiful interpretations of the white Carricante grape variety, matured for six months on the fine lees. A fresh, dynamic wine from Etna with a multi-faceted aroma of citrus, white peach, yeast, flint and smoke. Cool grapefruit and passion fruit, taut acidity and impressive mineral notes on the dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A cool nose with Burgundian finesse and pressure, fine reduction, mineral notes, salted lemon, light flowers, pear. Extremely fresh and gripping on the palate, elegant and spicy, with yellow-coloured spice, saline minerality and powerful, elegant freshness." Weinwisser

"Bright green-yellow in colour. Delicately smoky, stony on the nose, with subtle hints of salted lemon and some white flowers. Vibrant, salty on the palate, with noble citrus fruit." Falstaff

"This lively white wine offers a nice counterbalance to the creamy texture with aromatic accents of dried mint and grapefruit peel to the flavours of apricot, chopped almonds and poached pear. Salty finish." Wine Spectator

"The Etna Bianco 2022 is remarkably fresh and exudes an herb-accentuated bouquet, in which wet stone and a hint of smoke mingle with crushed almonds and pears. The palate is washed by a mineral wave of ripe fruit, accompanied by a hint of sour lime. The finish is crisp, refreshing and long, with a hint of delicious acidity that calls the drinker back to the glass." Vinous

"The nose is characterised by light, floral aromas of yellow apples, pears, lemons and white flowers, while warm, stony undertones provide balance. The palate is characterised by citrus fruits, with tree fruits not neglected, before a slightly nutty, salty finish supported by a gentle acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Notes of ripe apples and pears with spices, camomile and a stony minerality. Medium-bodied, supple and polished with juicy acidity and delicious fruit. Complex and full of character." James Suckling

"From the districts of Verzella and Pietramarina, a pure Carricante grown between 600 and 750 metres above sea level and then aged for four months in steel tanks. Notes of lychee on the nose, with a hint of lemon thyme and white melon, with hints of lemon and wild mint. Salty-orange on the palate, with a fruity, citrusy finish." Luca Gardini

Tirrenico comes from the west coast of Tuscany. Rich, dark ruby red colour. Rich bouquet of dark fruit, maquis, stone fruit and some fig, hints of flowers and lavender. Fleshy and juicy on the palate, with a fine acid wire and subtle flavours of berries, dried flowers and coffee. The tannins are polished and the final is finely spiced with a full, round finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, shiny ruby red colour. Juicy, ripe blackcurrant and blackberry fruit on the nose, along with cocoa powder and espresso. Polished on the palate with a rich fruit centre on velvety tannins, supporting acidity, balanced and persistent." Falstaff

"Very attractive nose of cherry, blackcurrant, walnuts, iodine and graphite. Medium-bodied, firm and structured, with compact but very fine tannins and juicy fruit. Exciting and concentrated. Already delicious." James Suckling

Trudie and Sting's latest creation "Kiss on the Mouth" is a beautiful and very serious interpretation of the Vermentino grape. Pretty nose of peach, apple, lemon and fresh pears. Medium-bodied with well-integrated acidity and a creamy, fruity palate. Pure and juicy on the palate with lovely depth and length. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red with garnet-coloured reflections. Bright, fresh nose of wild cherries, potting soil and blue flowers. Compact, medium-bodied with a fresh acid wire and well-integrated tannins. A paragon of Sangiovese, which is not only arousing enthusiasm due to its very attractive price. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright, lively yellow. On the nose pear, fresh citrus fruits, menthol and a hint of spices and herbs. Juicy, bright and surprisingly complex on the palate, the long contact with the skins gives this white a unique structure and complexity. A crisp and characterful wine, which convinces completely with its long and very lively finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Serafino's beautifully balanced Gavi del Comune di Gavi "Grifo del Quartaro" is fragrant and floral with star jasmine and acacia, followed by orchard fruit, citrus and salty minerals. The wine is lean and crisp with enough vigour and acidity to pair with fried prawns or calamari. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has chopped apples and pears on the nose, with some wet stone and white flower undertones. Medium-bodied, pristine and clear cut, with plenty of flavor and freshness." James Suckling

Light yellow with green reflections. Intensely aromatic with accentuated fruity notes of citrus fruits and green apple and mineral notes. Fresh, spicy and concentrated on the palate. Beautiful persistence and minerality in the long final. Riesling from Piedmont is a serious alternative to its German counterpart among connoisseurs. SUPERIORE.DE

The vines for this exceptional selection cuvée grow on the slopes of the St. Magdalener area above Bolzano at an altitude of 200-300 metres. St. Magdalener Moar is characterised by the unique interplay of location, age and cultivation of the vineyards. It captivates with its fruity and floral notes and its full and velvety flavour. The nose is characterised by the cherry, marzipan and violet notes typical of St. Magdalener. For us, it is one of the archetypes of its appellation! SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium-light red colour; barky notes, red berries, appealing; warm, red fruity, delicately bitter, round, length." Merum

"Raspberries, grilled strawberries and tea leaves on the nose. It’s crunchy, medium-bodied and fresh, with powdery tannins and an easygoing finish. Drink now." James Suckling

"Deep dark ruby-red centre with a brightening rim. A medicinal nose of iodine and varnish, with preserved cherries. Lush fruit on the palate, with a very juicy finish, well-integrated tannins, harmonious and of beautiful length." Falstaff

"Lots of chile and chocolate character to this medium-bodied primitivo, blending in with clean red fruit to give a tasty palate with velvety tannins and long-lasting interest. From organically grown grapes. Old-style feel to this, but fun to drink now." James Suckling

The Barbera vines for Sentieri are over 30 years old and grow at an altitude of around 300 metres on predominantly calcareous soils in the natural amphitheatre of Monleale. It is the complete opposite of an opulent, dense style. Sentieri has a wonderful Italian freshness and is 100% focussed on the primary fruit of the Barbera grape. It presents plenty of race and a personality that is elegantly restrained and very balanced. For us, this is Barbera in its purest form and here Walter Massa impressively proves that he is not only capable of top performance with the white Timorasso. And once again we are more than impressed by the excellent value of his wines. SUPERIORE.DE

Pèppoli is an entertaining, very relaxed red wine with a firm fan base. A sparkling, intense ruby colour with a slight garnet hue. The Pèppoli expresses its strong personality through its bouquet of ripe fruit with light mineral accents. The flavour spreads gently yet powerfully on the palate with lively tannins and a long finish. Very easy to drink, very classic and, incidentally, excellent value! SUPERIORE.DE

"Graceful and familiar, Pèppoli is like a cheerful postcard from the Chianti region. It enchants with shiny cherries, cinnamon and chopped basil. Accents of leather and smoky toast are appropriately restrained. On the palate, the fruit takes centre stage: stewed plums and blackberries meld effortlessly with light, supple tannins that bring just a hint of dust. Juicy on the finish." Decanter

"The Chianti Classico Pèppoli 2022, Antinori's entry-level offering, is a fine start to the year that shows just how compelling this vintage can be. The 2022 is bright, floral and beautifully lifted and has class. The understated, refreshing style is so compelling." Vinous

"Balanced and moderately long, this bright, fruity red offers cherry, strawberry and light earth flavors in a charming, approachable profile." Wine Spectator

This finesse-rich Grüner Veltliner is a rarity in South Tyrol and is only found in isolated cases in the Eisack Valley. Sparkling straw yellow with olive green edges. Slightly peppery on the nose, gracefully fresh on the palate, juicy, with a beautiful structure and a lovely mineral note on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, sparkling straw yellow. Intriguing, fragrant nose, green apple as well as exotic fruit notes, discreetly reminiscent of pineapple and kiwi, with some white pepper behind. On the palate coherent and full of tension, discreetly creamy, lots of spice, well-integrated acidity, salty final." Falstaff

Col Fondo has been part of the Adami product family since the early 1900s. Initially, grandfather Abele and later father Adriano bottled the wine in spring. This then began to ferment again in the warmer months of May and June, producing what is known in Veneto as "vin col fondo". The origin of the name is quickly explained: it is due to the yeasts that settle on the bottom of the bottle after all the residual sugar has been consumed, causing the wine to develop in an exciting way over time.

Exciting: Col Fondo can be drunk clear or cloudy with yeast to create new sensory experiences every time. Drinking it clear means discovering the classic notes of yeast, ripe fruit and also a light balsamic note such as mint, liquorice, thyme and eucalyptus. In this case, simply store the bottle upright and pour the wine carefully, separating it from the sediment that remains in the bottle. If, on the other hand, you prefer it cloudy with yeast, you are opting for a more original experience: the yeast aroma is emphasised, the aroma of ripe fruit lends a particularly intense balsamic note and the wine becomes stronger, richer and fuller on the palate. In this case, store the bottle horizontally and serve as normal. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine is said to be a little cloudy due to the yeast still in the bottle, so don't worry. Impressive aromas of chamomile, honey, roasted apples and white tea pour from the glass. The structured palate shows notes of Asian pear and quince, with a leeky and tart finish." Wine Enthusiast

"Fermentation aromas of yeast, tamarind and biscotti, melded with salted lemon rind, tonic and rosemary. The finish is pithy and nicely phenolic, finishing with an emphatic bite. Long and clean. Best of all, thoroughly intriguing. Savory, refined and persistent. Loads of character." James Suckling

Intense ruby red colour. Ripe fruit such as black cherry and plum on the nose. Subtle sweet floral notes. Finely structured on the palate with wonderfully fine tannins, beautiful acidity and great juiciness with a long finish. Rosso dei Notri is a solid, concentrated wine with bite and power, which, with its fleshy, long-lasting flavour, overall harmony and reasonable value, is a lot of fun as an introduction to the great world of Tua Rita wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant ruby with hints of purple. Delicately fragrant nose of violets and crisp blackberries, with a hint of vanilla bean behind it. Silky on the palate, with concentrated fruit, harmonious with powerful, well-integrated tannins and supporting acidity through to the lingering finish." Falstaff

"Lovely crushed berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a crunchy and delicious finish." James Suckling

The Chianti Classico from Tenuta Sant' Alfonso is a sophisticated wine of authentic style: aromas of plums, dark cherries, clay, mushrooms and oregano. Medium-bodied with fine, creamy tannins and fresh acidity. Round and balanced with a velvety texture. Intense and multi-layered, followed by a long, smooth finish - everything in the right place! SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling ruby red with slightly brightening edges. On the nose, hearty cherries, plums and violets, with a light white pepper aftertaste. Fruity on the palate, with fine tannins, savoury." Falstaff

"The intensely savory nose is full of cured meat, new leather and pencil lead, with zippy undertones of cranberry and hibiscus. The meatiness escalates on the palate, while pepper, fresh cherry and orange provide balance. Tannins are approachable, while the acidity is substantive enough to make itself known." Wine Enthusiast

"A firm and linear red with crushed stone to the cherry and chocolate character. Medium body. Lightly chewy finish. A little tight now at the end." James Suckling

Bright yellow-green colour. Ripe peaches, herbs, apricots, minerals, smoke, nougat and honey closely interwoven in the aroma. Beautifully proportioned, intense, creamy, with a beautifully light and elegant flavour in which the barrel wood is masterfully integrated. Great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Layered and complex nose here, with ripe stone fruit, mangoes and hints of wafers, pastry crust and cream. Medium- to full-bodied with a structured, well-formed palate, offering tense acidity and fine tannins. Lingering and focused." James Suckling

Alexandros is a wonderfully complex and expressive white wine from Campania. The flavours of light stone fruit, flowers and a fine minerality come together in the harmonious aroma. Crisp, clean flavour with a fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Al Passo is named after the small forest on the highest hill of Tolaini - a magical place with a breathtaking view of the countryside and the sunsets over the towers of Siena. The wine is as unique as the forest, showcasing the natural affinity of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich garnet with ruby colour. Intense and enticing bouquet of ripe fruit, orange zest and spicy oak notes, on the palate with ripe fruit and fresh acidity, balanced, medium body, long final with a fine salty vein. SUPERIORE.DE

"Notes of cassis, meat, leather and earth. Firm acidity and tannins with a chalky texture, full body and supple fruit that balances the structure. Tart on the finish." James Suckling

"An intense red that evokes flavours of cherries, raspberries, pomegranates, minerals, tobacco and wild herbs. Silky and juicy, with fine-grained tannins that linger on the finish. Overall, it shows finesse." Wine Spectator

"The 2021 Al Passo is a very beautiful and expressive wine. Dried cherry, tobacco, cedar wood, liquorice and incense give it remarkable aromatic nuances. This blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon has a lot to offer. Bright acids round off the whole thing in style." Vinous
