“I Sodi di San Niccolò" Toscana IGT 2018
The wine icon, rare every year and very highly rated, presents itself in a shiny, rich ruby. On the nose, crisp berry fruit, ripe dark cherries, sweet plums and delicate notes of cinnamon. In the mouth it is full-bodied and firm, very juicy, unfolds a finely woven tannin and glides in a wide arc into a powerful, long final. A great wine full of tension and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dense, sweet and with great seductiveness, it smells out of the glass with lots of chocolate and nutty aromas. Fine-grained and clearly structured on the palate, it has excellent breed with playful acidity, which in turn gives it depth and length. Impressively typical I Sodi, which has never lost its traditional character. Even though it was one of the more modern top wines from Tuscany in the 90s because of its ageing in barriques, today it has to be classified rather with the classics." Weinwisser
"Rich, sparkling ruby with a slightly pale rim. Opens clear and deep on the nose, with plums and blackberries, discreet smoky notes, some cardamom. Firm and sturdy on the palate, shows lots of tightly woven tannin, builds up firm pressure, lots of plum, long final." Falstaff
"This is marked by new oak initially, then the plum and cherry flavors shine through. Vibrant, with leather and earth elements joining in before the oak spice and tannins frame the finish. Fresh and complex, with a lot going on—just needs time." Wine Spectator
"Bright and vibrant, the trademark lively and vibrant acidity at the fore straight away giving life and lift to the caramelised cherries, pomegranates and strawberry fruit. The wood is a little apparent, giving the frame a spiced edge that sticks out a little and pulls the fruit forwardness back a bit. Clearly powerful, there is a richness and ripeness to the fruit with massy tannins. Nuanced and generous with precision and focus from beginning to the end." Decanter
"This celebrated Tuscan red is a blend of mostly Sangiovese with a smaller part of Malvasia Nera. The Castellare di Castellina 2018 I Sodi di S. Niccolò shows the elegance and grace of these native grapes with aromas of red and purple fruit, cherry, wild rose and gardening soil. However, there is also a strong oak element that adds spice and toast to the bouquet and textural weight to the wine's generous build." Wine Advocate
"A vibrant, balanced and fresh red with raspberries, pomegranates, cherry stones and spice box on the nose. Sleek, tight tannins. Focused, with a very fine structure and wound-up energy." James Suckling
"The 2018 I Sodi di San Niccolò is the most elegant Sodi I have ever tasted, and I have tasted them all. Sodi can be quite the bruiser in its youth, as the tannins are often imposing, but the 2018 is impressive because there is more than enough fruit to balance things out. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and gravel build in a Sodi endowed with mind-blowing purity and exceptional finesse. Superb!" Vinous

Barolo Castelletto “Vigna Pressenda” DOCG 2020 (BIO)
The sandy soils north of Monforte d'Alba give this Barolo its immense power and structure. The bouquet is very open and appealing with dark cherries and raspberries, as well as notes of mint, cedar wood, rose petals and sage. Very lively and expressive on the palate, with deep beauty, seamlessly contoured and spectacular resonance. A fabulous wine from a very good vintage, classic and exotic at the same time. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Conterno Fantino 2020 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda shows rich dark fruits, liquorice, spa cedar and sweet oak spice. On the palate, it shows a certain richness with a hint of vanilla extract, with sweet blueberry cream and cherry pie. The tannins have a slight toasted note, but remain fine-grained and well-integrated overall." Wine Advocate
"The Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda 2020 is a delicate, elegant wine. Crushed rose petals, orange peel, white pepper, mint and crushed stones adorn this marvellous, translucent Barolo. All the elements are very well balanced. It has a crystalline purity that is simply beguiling. It is the most ethereal and perfumed of the Barolos here. The 2020 is simply great." Vinous
"Clearly defined fruit flavors give this red accessibility. Cherry, strawberry, raspberry, hibiscus, earth and menthol notes are backed by a dense matrix of tannins. A fresh version, with a long, complex finish." Wine Spectator
"One of the richer, rounder and more mouth-filling Barolos. This expansive wine fills its beautifully firm structure with intricate layers of red cherry, orange peel, raspberry and cedar. Although full-bodied and broad in texture, it has the characteristic fine-grained tannins that only get better with time." James Suckling

Brunello di Montalcino “Vecchie Vigne” DOCG 2018
Pacentis Vecchie Vigne is still one of the most modern wines of the sun-drenched appellation in southern Tuscany. Its fruit comes from old vines that are between 35 and 50 years old. You can taste the richness and smoothness of its dark fruit and the lush blackberry. However, the wine also offers hints of exotic spices, spicy tobacco and even a hint of talcum powder or buttered popcorn that comes from the oak (it is aged for 24 months in French barriques). An unmistakably creamy and rich mouthfeel in the drink through to the long final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep ruby red. Exotic, lifted raspberry and cassis nose and a hint of passion fruit and oak that is almost completely absorbed by the fruit. The description of the nose may sound completely bizarre, but it is extremely attractive. Juicy and ripe on the palate, but with real fruit emphasis. Tons of dry but not harsh tannins and fantastic depth and balance. It's very compelling, but needs more bottle age for the tannins to settle and integrate. I bet it will be more than worth the wait." Jancis Robinson
"As so often rather extroverted, almost massive and concentrated with notes of ripe wild strawberries, dried flowers, undergrowth and sweet spices. Powerful and with great intensity on the palate, the tannins robust and memorable, but also finessed with balsamic and mineral-earthy notes, long spicy final." Weinwisser
"The Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne 2018 comes, as the name suggests, from old vines and is spicy and very tasty. The bouquet contains many exotic elements that you will not find in any of its colleagues. These include caraway, clove and cardamom. These spicy notes frame a core of black fruits. This is a medium to full-bodied Brunello with great inner strength, underlined by the high alcohol content of 15%." Wine Advocate
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne opens with hauntingdark flowers and balsamic tones, while swirling brings out hints of blackcurrant and crushed stone. The wine has a very soft texture supported by cool minerality and bright acidity that accompanies the crisp wild berries on the palate. It finishes with amazing length and power, flooding the senses with primary concentration while a framework of fine tannins gently tugs at the cheeks. The 2018 Vecchie Vigne is a radiant Brunello that needs ageing to fully develop. That said, I can't recall ever tasting a VV from Siro Pacenti with this much energy." Vinous
"Sparkling ruby with a fine garnet rim. Clear and memorable nose, of blackberries, fresh plums, followed by cloves and undergrowth. Shows lots of ripe, juicy fruit on the palate, opens with clear, fine-meshed tannin, embedded in sweet melting, rich pressure on the final." Falstaff
"North-eastern territory, from a company that has made history. A concrete project of sustainability, as substantial as this Brunello, which comes from the youngest vineyards. On the nose, Marasca cherries, nuances of eucalyptus and white pepper. The drinkability is dense, crisp, balsamic with a fruity-spicy finish." Luca Gardini
"It is concentrated, firm and well structured, with a classic nose of blackberries, cherry pits, white truffle, tea leaves and cloves. Also earth and bark. Medium to full body with a firm tannic framework. Racy and linear. Mineral. Taste in 2026." James Suckling

Translucent purple-violet colour. Complex bouquet with aromas of dark berries, ripe notes of plum and subtle sweetness of elderberry syrup. Well-coordinated impressions on the palate and dense, creamy tannins create a velvety harmony. SUPERIORE.DE

Barolo “Baudana” DOCG 2019 (BIO)
Black cherry fruit, smoke, wild herbs, liquorice and tar form a compelling backdrop of aromas, flavours and textures as this dazzling, powerful Barolo opens up in the glass. The intense final is accompanied by delicate rose petals, lavender and a fine mineral-salty vein. Its stable tannin structure awaits a few more years of ageing in the bottle, as is typically the case with a classic Serralunga Barolo. SUPERIORE.DE
"The bouquet is dominated by forest fruit and wild flower flavours, also fine spice; juicy in the mouth, the tannins noticeable, ends long on notes of plums and liquorice. To accompany a roast beef." Vinum
"Notes of ground spices, nutshells and cedar wood with subtle flavours of red fruits in the background. Medium-bodied, structured and firm. Strong and slightly tart on the finish." James Suckling
"Aromas of cherries, raspberry liqueur, mint and minerals emphasise this taut, dense red wine, which is balanced and has notes of eucalyptus and juniper on the long finish." Wine Spectator
"The Barolo Baudana 2019 offers good power and ripeness with sweet fruit flavours, dark cherry, spices and ferruginous earth. These flavours are characteristic of this vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba. On the palate, the wine is silky and generous, with a salty minerality on the finish." Wine Advocate
"The Baudana, fermented and aged in large oak barrels, shows great complexity and finesse of liquorice root, smoky forest, rose and violet aromas, with wild strawberry and peony in the depths. The palate is firm and acidic, with structured but fine-grained tannins. It has the dustiness typical of Nebbiolo and is super-tart but fierce in character, with a hint of youthful rusticity on the finish. I would age it given its old-fashioned character." Decanter
"Intense, sparkling ruby colour with a slightly light rim. Opens with distinctly fragrant notes of peony, fresh cherries and some strawberry. Juicy on the attack and on the palate, with beautifully emphasised fruit and polished tannins that create firm pressure on the final." Falstaff
"Vivid aromas of cherry stand out as the dominant fruit note, harmonizing with abundant mineral and mixed spice characteristics. The palate presents a firm yet giving structure. The chiseled palate offers notes of wildflowers, savory herbs and spices finishing with a persistent minerality." Wine Enthusiast
"The most classic of all house brands, a wine with complexity and finesse. Notes of red plums on the nose, then mentholated notes of eucalyptus, juniper and fresh bay leaves. Juicy and sweet on the palate, with a menthol-fruity finish and a long aftertaste that is rounded off with notes of medicinal herbs." Luca Gardini
"The Barolo Baudana 2019 is absolutely captivating. Exuberant and bright in the glass, with plenty of freshness and remarkable purity of fruit, the Baudana offers generous dark red fruit, spice, leather, cherry, candy, cedar, tobacco and undergrowth. It has enormous depth and exceptional balance. Rose petals, white pepper and chalk add a special touch to the intense, savoury finish." Vinous

Limitation of 3 articles per customerBarolo Ravera DOCG 2020
Barolo Ravera comes from a single vineyard with vines that are almost 50 years old. In the glass, it impresses with a strong, aromatic opening flavour. Bright, precise and finely chiselled, the Ravera captures everything good that the vintage has to offer. Cherry, sweet mint, candy and expressive floral notes are given an extra kick of inner sweetness by Ravera's natural energy. There is so much to look forward to as the wine develops over the next few years! SUPERIORE.DE
"Beguiling bouquet of dark forest fruits and cherries, herbal notes; precise attack, the tannins extremely fine and silky, the acidity and mineral components provide the balance. Outstanding style!" Vinum
"Dark, sparkling ruby with garnet-coloured tendencies. Elegant, fruity-floral bouquet of roses and ripe wild berries, backed by fine wood spice and meadow herbs. Fine fruit melt on the palate, with a compact fruit core and firm tannins, very exciting and incredibly long." Falstaff
"Brilliant, medium ruby red colour. Raspberry and salty, mineral notes and hints of eucalyptus with aeration. Compact and a little closed, but with sensual acidity leading the cool, fresh fruit. Long, deep, chewy tannins that need a few more years to settle. Great depth of fruit on the finish." Jancis Robinson
"A precise style, more reductive than oxidative, with a rich fruitiness reminiscent of raspberry jam, floral notes, black pepper and liquorice. Fresh, with velvety, slightly chewy tannins in the mid-palate that lead into a chocolaty finish." Decanter
"Gravel stones, raspberries, liquorice and allspice on the nose. It's lively, dense and minerally with a medium to full body and firm, tight and steely tannins. Leave it to mature." James Suckling
"The Elvio Cogno 2020 Barolo Ravera is a lush and fleshy expression with dark fruit, dried cherry, plum, sweet orris root, earth, toast and dark spice. The wine is quite firm, and there is a lovely sense of richness that coats the palate." Wine Advocate
"This aromatic red wine exudes spicy and savoury notes of eucalyptus, juniper, rosehip, bergamot and white pepper. The flavours of cherry, iron and tobacco follow in the long finish." Wine Spectator
"A Barolo with temperament and character. Fresh aromas, nectarine, redcurrant, then laurel, rounded off with nuances of nutmeg. Mouthfeel with citrus sensations, clementine, savoury, taut and crisp, with hints of yellow fruit." Luca Gardini

The intense final is accompanied by delicate rose petals, lavender and a fine mineral-salty vein. Its stable tannin structure awaits a few more years of ageing in the bottle, as is typically the case with a classic Serralunga Barolo. SUPERIORE.DE
"Beguiling nose with floral-spicy notes, smoky-mineral, tobacco, ripe redcurrant. Initially soft and red berry on the palate, then becomes more tightly meshed with a salty-mineral line, iron, highly elegant, taut and tense with a laser-like structure, finishes with the finest tobacco and sweet spices full of finesse." Weinwisser
"Polished and fresh thanks to the limestone. Very lively and exciting. Fresh!" Jancis Robinson
"Attractive notes of cherries, peaches, red plums and violets on the nose. Juicy and bright, with a medium body and delicious red berry fruit, accompanied by fine-grained tannins." James Suckling
"The Barolo Baudana 2020 opens with a burst of plump, juicy red fruit. Bright acids and lingering tannins remind us that we are in Serralunga. The 2020 will need a few more years to develop, but it is a relatively approachable wine for this part of the appellation. The purity of the fruit here is wonderful. Pretty floral and spicy nuances lift the finish effortlessly." Vinous
"With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the Luigi Baudana 2020 Barolo Baudana is a bold and ripe expression with dark currant, black cherry, sweet orange peel and crushed red rose. Soft, earthy layers appear on the mid palate with a hint of spicy liquorice. All this intensity of earth, fruit and spice swells on the palate, giving this wine an impressive character. It is ready to drink almost immediately." Wine Advocate
"Subtle notes of cherries in their prime, thyme, star anise, incense and warmed earth emerge with time, resulting in a wine worth the wait. The palate is initially plush, but the tannins soon make themselves known, shaping the wine into a polished and chiselled example of classic Nebbiolo. The savoury elements work in perfect harmony with the deep core of fruit and mouth-watering acidity, creating a Barolo that can be enjoyed now or cellared for decades." Wine Enthusiast
"Packed with fruit, this red exudes cherry, strawberry, rose and iron notes, with a hint of wild herbs. Vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins lend well-meshed support. Harmonious and surprisingly approachable already, but this will improve over the next two decades." Wine Spectator

“Oreno” Rosso Toscana IGT 2022 (BIO)
Deep dark ruby-purple colour. On the nose, cassis, blackcurrants and a strong herbal spice with a good dose of pipe tobacco, tar and crushed gravel. On the palate, dark berries, chocolate and a cornucopia of herbs define the full-bodied palate. This juicy wine monument has precisely integrated tannins, an enormous silkiness and an almost endless finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Elegant and storable Bordeaux blend from the hills near Arezzo: A bouquet of aromas such as cassis, flowers, hot stone, eucalyptus and chocolate characterise the bouquet; then a lot of character, the tannins powerful, the crisp acidity gives life, very long and still with a lot of potential." Vinum
"Rich, dark ruby red with violet reflections. Very appealing and complex aroma of preserved cherries, blackberries and elderberries, dark chocolate and maquis on the nose. Very dense and balanced on the palate with well-integrated tannins and a very long, juicy final, ending on fruit." Falstaff
"The Tenuta Sette Ponti 2022 Oreno is a full-bodied Tuscan red with a big delivery of black fruit aromas. It comes at you at once, and the blend is seamless in the sense that you can't make out any one single variety, although interestingly, Cabernet Franc was added for the first time. It closes with sweet tannins and big richness that is never too heavy or bulky." Wine Advocate
"This wine impresses with its purity and beauty as soon as you put your nose in the glass. So aromatic. Flowers, graphite, blackcurrant and a hint of gunmetal. Medium to full-bodied with tannins that coat the mouth and give a feeling of fine cashmere. The length and intensity is quiet but quite endless." James Suckling

“Le Caggiole” Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2019
The first Caggiole came onto the market in 1988 and disappeared again in 1995 because the flagship Asinone simply met the tastes of consumers better at the time. Today - after an absence of over 20 years - the Nobile Le Caggiole is back on the market as the estate's new first wine. Estate owner Dott. Federico Carletti has dedicated this masterpiece to his wife Anna - setting a new benchmark for Poliziano and the entire denomination. We are delighted to be able to present this strictly limited top wine!
Salty, mineral and refined. Le Caggiole represents the terroir and the Sangiovese grape variety (Prugnolo Gentile) like no other wine from the estate. It is almost light-footed, svelte, delicate and at the same time very fine. It is the result of many years of work selecting the right Sangiovese clones in the single vineyard of the same name, Le Caggiole, which consists of 4 parcels. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. Elegantly fragrant nose of wild strawberries, cherries, precious wood, cold smoke, some plum and red-cheeked peach, complex and fine. Clear, radiant fruit on the palate, embedded in tightly woven, salty tannins, precise, clear, comes in many layers, shows great ageing potential, is already accessible, unique Nobile!" Falstaff
"A supple red that reveals cherry and raspberry flavours with a firm tannic base. Robust and lively, showing iron, earth and tobacco details as this ambles along on the finish." Wine Spectator
"This wine is really refined and flavoursome, with a slightly mineral note of zesty oranges, nutmeg, sage and berries. Juicy and intense on the palate with fine tannins and a vertical yet ethereal finish. Excellent concentration and a firm grip at the end, even if the finish lingers. Drink now." James Suckling
"The Poliziano 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Le Caggiole comes from a special 14-hectare vineyard site with sandy soils of ancient marine origin. The wine carries its significant oak spice beautifully, thanks to the extracted and generous black fruit at its core. This is a balanced, full-bodied expression that reflects modern Montepulciano winemaking." Wine Advocate
"The 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Le Caggiole is intense, spicy and complex. In the glass, it exudes a bouquet of crushed ash stones, dried black cherries, cedar wood and rosemary. This wine is pure elegance, deep and structured, with a dense wave of ripe red and black fruits rushing over a core of savoury minerals and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and structured, with a lingering concentration that promises a steady evolution. This is the best version of Le Caggiole I have ever tasted. A wine for the cellar." Vinous

“I Sodi di San Niccolò" Toscana IGT 2020
This iconic wine, which is rare and very highly rated every year, presents itself in a brilliant, rich ruby colour. The bouquet is full of crisp berry fruit, ripe dark cherries, sweet plums and delicate notes of cinnamon. Full-bodied and firm on the palate, very juicy, develops a finely worked tannin and glides in a wide arc into a powerful, long final. A great wine full of vigour and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep and dark aromas of Mediterranean herbs, restrained black cherries and austere, earthy complexity. Firm on the palate, with full body, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a chalky finish. Long aftertaste with roasted graphite. A wine that is meant for the long haul, but will be ready to drink in a year or two." James Suckling
"Packed with ripe, juicy cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and floral aromas and flavors, this red is supple and beautifully integrated. Earth, iron and tobacco accents add detail as this winds down on the lazy, resonant aftertaste, showing terrific energy." Wine Spectator
"The 2020 I Sodi di San Niccolò is fabulous. It is a rare wine that offers power, finesse and translucent energy at once. All the elements are in perfect balance. I can’t remember a Sodi like this one, a wine that is so complete and alluring right out of the gate. Rose petal, lavender, spice, orange peel and sage open first. What impresses me most about the 2020 is the finesse of its tannin, something I have very rarely seen in Sodi at this early stage. Magical. This is remarkable in every way." Vinous

“Mason di Mason” Pinot Nero Alto Adige DOC 2021 (BIO)
"The best of the best - you don't drink this wine every day. It needs attention, time to mature and likes to play the leading role: as the crowning glory of a festive table or even as a proud solitaire." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor
Noble and pure, the Mason di Mason Pinot Nero shines with flavours of raspberry, rose blossom, undergrowth and sweet spices. Elegant and seamlessly round on the palate with incredible balance, complexity and detail. A knockout Pinot Noir! SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium-dense, sparkling ruby red colour. Finely characterised, intense nose, aromas of coriander seeds, raspberries and pomegranate, beautiful play. Delights the palate with fine, polished tannins that open up in many layers, with a juicy raspberry note, glides along calmly and for a long time, wonderful drinking flow." Falstaff
"The 2021 Mason di Mason is dark and brooding with a subtle blend of dried black cherries and savory herbs complicated by flowery underbrush. This displays silky textures and ripe red and blue fruits guided by tantalizing acidity. Exotic spice hints and rosy inner florals form toward the close. Gently tannic and with admirable length, the 2021 sticks around with a staining of primary concentration and violet inner florals. The balance is remarkable, but even better is how wonderfully fresh and agile this is." Vinous
"A really tense and juicy pinot with so much complexity and a multilayered nature. notes of ripe raspberries, dark cherries, dried flowers, savory herbs, crushed stones and umami. It’s rich and generous but not overdone, with savory and spicy nuances. Vibrant and bright, with orange peel zestiness at the end." James Suckling

“Guarnaschelli” Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC 2021 (BIO)
The single vineyard Guarnaschelli is a 60-year-old vineyard with a slight westerly exposure. A loamy matrix of brown skeletal soils can be found here. This generous soil, characterised by limestone, gives the wines finesse and minerality. Here, the plants produce grapes of consistently high quality every year - the result of deep roots and restrained, intelligent vineyard work. The strong exposure to the sun is tempered by constant winds blowing from all directions. This sets in motion a play of temperature fluctuations from which the old vines benefit to produce complex and aromatic grapes.
"Bright ruby red colour with a slightly brightening rim. Blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrants on the nose, harmoniously accompanied by maquis and some leather. Great fruit core on the palate, harmonious freshness and gripping tannins, final with dark fruit on the final." Falstaff
"Deep, impenetrable purple colour. Impressive depth of lifted cherry and damson fruit, with a complex note of spicy oak and hints of eucalyptus and white pepper. The palate is juicy, lush, sour cherry and damson, with a hint of grainy tannins and surprisingly high acidity on the finish. The 15% alcohol is well integrated. A few more years in the bottle wouldn't go amiss, as this wine has both the richness and the tannic structure." Jancis Robinson
"Earthy and intense, the 2021 Vigna Guarnaschelli develops slowly in the glass with a dark mix of crushed blackberries, exotic spices, lavender and rosemary. The texture is deeply creamy yet tangy, with cooling acidity and polished red and black fruits that slowly saturate towards the finish. The 2021 leaves behind a layer of fine-grained tannins and salty minerals, finishing with dramatic length, power and structure. This tangy Nero d'Avola is ready for the cellar. Wow." Vinous
"Aromas of terracotta, dried earth, stone and black berries. Medium to full body. Strong but fine tannins. Lasts for minutes. The fruit remains flowing but always in check. A wine for the cellar. A new benchmark for Nero d'Avola. The magic of a single vineyard." James Suckling

“Le Caggiole” Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2020
The first Caggiole came onto the market in 1988 and disappeared again in 1995 because the flagship Asinone simply met the tastes of consumers better at the time. Today - after an absence of over 20 years - the Nobile Le Caggiole is back on the market as the estate's new first wine. Estate owner Dott. Federico Carletti has dedicated this masterpiece to his wife Anna - setting a new benchmark for Poliziano and the entire denomination. We are delighted to be able to present this strictly limited top wine!
Brilliant, elegant ruby red colour with a delicately brightening rim. Salty, mineral and refined. Le Caggiole represents the terroir and the Sangiovese grape variety (Prugnolo Gentile) like no other wine from the estate. It is almost light-footed, svelte, delicate and at the same time very fine. It is the result of many years of work selecting the right Sangiovese clones in the single vineyard of the same name, Le Caggiole, which consists of 4 parcels. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2020 Nobile di Montepulciano Le Caggiole is perfumed from start to finish, exuding a lovely blend of dried roses and wild strawberries, complemented by a hint of orange peel. This soft and round wine impresses with its stimulating acidity and mineral tones, interspersed with subtle nuances of cherries and blackberries. It finishes with medium length, slightly tannic and with a hint of wild berries that lingers. This is a graceful and refined wine that reflects the sandy soils from which it comes." Vinous
"A racy and refined Vino Nobile with notes of fresh berries, red cherries, spices, citrus fruits and minerals. Firm, fresh tannins on the medium to full-bodied palate. Structured, but not rustic. Long and juicy finish." James Suckling
"This red wine is taut and concentrated, with flavours of cherries, raspberries, flowers and minerals. Lively and beautifully balanced, with fine energy and a lingering, resonant aftertaste. With its combination of finesse and power, this wine would pair well with a grilled steak now, but it will also benefit from longer ageing in the bottle." Wine Spectator

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020
Anyone looking for the truth in Sangiovese will find it here: Laura Brunelli's Montalcino has been a stunning wine full of vitality, life and energy for years. It displays an almost outrageous degree of clarity and openness. It unfolds brightly and radiantly with lasting purity, elegance and length. This Brunello shows extreme precision and focus, both on the nose and in the mouthfeel. Wild berries, blue flowers and liquorice come together in perfection, and it is impossible to surpass this quality at this price. SUPERIORE.DE
"Just mid ruby. Cardamom and morocco-leather hints and iodine, minerally notes on the nose. Compact, youthful cherry-fruit palate with delicious chewy tannins taking the lead on the aromatic fruit finish. Great potential." Jancis Robinson
"Due to the high temperatures and dry conditions, Laura Brunelli says that quantities were even lower than the estate's already modest average yields. For this reason, she decided to forgo a Riserva in 2020, using the best of the production for this bottling. It exemplifies the beautiful floral character of the vintage, as scents of lavender and plum blossom leap from the glass. Exotic spice, cinchona and bitter orange contribute complexity on the palate, which reveals the summer’s warmth with seductive ripeness and yielding structure. It finishes with a gentle tug of talc-like tannins and some welcome tension." Decanter
"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino entices with a seductive bouquet of crushed cherries and strawberries elevated by hints of mint, cedar and saddle leather. This is a more graceful and elegant style, with medium-bodied textures and pure wild berry fruit notes that ride a wave of brisk acidity. The 2020 echoes with nuances of licorice and blue and purple inner florals while leaving a subtle coating of fine tannins that frame the experience quite nicely." Vinous
"Balsamic and complex profile to this wine. The nose exudes dried flowers, licorice, raspberries and redcurrants. Very crisp and juicy, with full body and bony, chalky tannins due to its youth. Yet, it’s sweet and balanced on the finish. This needs a bit of time for better integration, yet it’s a gourmet wine with very good substance for the long haul." James Suckling
"The Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is balanced, finely textured and shows smooth consistency over the palate. There is a lot of life in this vibrant Brunello. Red and purple fruits segue to sweet earth and iris root. I especially love the mouthfeel achieved here. It's that combination of richness and extreme silkiness that sets it apart." Wine Advocate

“Tenuta Missoj” Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG 2013 · in gift box
Tenuta Missoj is a small vineyard in Mizzole with just 3.5 hectares of vines and is owned by the Campagnola family.

Further ageing of the wine takes place in the bottle for another 12 months.
Deep ruby red colour with garnet reflections. Developed, fragrant, spicy bouquet with hints of ripe fruit, cherry and vanilla. Intense, soft and pervasive taste, fine tannin structure. Slight bitter almond note on the finish, typical of high-class Amarone, very long and with great potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dried blueberries, raspberries, citrus and tea leaves. Medium to full body, a subtle casing of foursquare tannins to surround ripe but agile berry fruit and a muscular finish. Drink from 2022." James Suckling

“M – Mario Schiopetto” Friulano Collio DOC 2021
"M" stands for Mario Schiopetto. This is the wine that the children have dedicated to their father for years and it is the undisputed white flagship of the winery. This exceptional Friulano with a dash of Riesling seduces with elegant aromas of white flowers, a little smoke and spirited fruit. Ingeniously balanced, fresh and of considerable length and great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dried peach, mango and pear with some melon. Flint, too. Full-bodied, tight and focused center-palate with density and energy at the same time. Spiced pear and matchstick at the end. Very complex and complete. From 60-year-old vines in a single plot of Collio." James Suckling

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Giusto di Notri” Rosso Toscana IGT 2022
The excellent Cabernet-Merlot blend Giusto di Notri is a concentrated wine with an intense, rich flavour. A perfectly balanced bouquet of blackberry, blackcurrant and fine herbal spice. Compact on the palate with a well-tempered balance between fruit and oak, plus a distinctive tannin, promising and powerful in the final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Powerful ruby colour with violet shimmer. Concentrated nose with appealing notes of blackberry, mulberry, dark currant and some cardamom. Very good presence on the palate, dense tannins in many layers, builds up well, firm pressure, still slightly drying on the final." Falstaff
"The Tua Rita 2022 Giusto di Notri reveals an especially creamy and rounded texture that adds to a lovely and long-lasting mouthfeel. There is nothing heavy about the wine, and indeed, this vintage actually feels more streamlined to other hot-vintage releases of the past. The wine's appearance is inky dark, and the bouquet shows layers of dark fruit, blackberry, spice and sweet earth." Wine Advocate
"Lots of berry and chocolate fruit with subtle undertones of hazelnut and spice. Also dried flowers. Medium-bodied with a nice fruit core and a savoury, juicy finish. Herbs with chocolate at the end. Solid in the centre of the palate. It needs another three or four years to mature, but it's already very attractive." James Suckling

“I Sodi di San Niccolò" Toscana IGT 2019
This iconic wine, which is rare and very highly rated every year, presents itself in a brilliant, rich ruby colour. The bouquet is full of crisp berry fruit, ripe dark cherries, sweet plums and delicate notes of cinnamon. Full-bodied and firm on the palate, very juicy, develops a finely worked tannin and glides in a wide arc into a powerful, long final. A great wine full of vigour and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling ruby colour with a fine garnet sheen. Impressive nose, very finely characterised, aromas of juicy cherries, blood orange and dried thyme, some liquorice in the background. Polished and precise from the attack to the final, fine-meshed, very well-integrated tannins, flows beautifully, finely elaborated fruit, long final." Falstaff
"The I Sodi di San Niccolò 2019 is another great wine from Castellare. At this stage, the 2019 is still a child. The purity of the fruit is convincing. Despite its considerable intensity, the 2019 seems to have less tannins than in many other years, which should allow it to drink well with minimal cellaring. Blood orange, sweet spices, leather and cedar linger on the stylish finish." Vinous
"This is a long-famous blend of 85% Sangioveto (another name for Sangiovese) and 15% Malvasia Nera from one of the leading wineries of Castellina in Chianti. The Castellare di Castellina 2019 I Sodi di S. Niccolò opens with a soft texture and medium weight with dark aromas of blackcurrant and cherry. These flavours reveal an earthy and spicy side that continues on the palate. The wine finishes with sweet tannins and this vintage has a solid structure overall." Wine Advocate
"An intense, vibrant red with hauntingaromas of violet, black cherry, blackberry, wild rosemary, eucalyptus and iron. Supple and open, but with a solid structure underneath. The precise balance of this wine makes it approachable now, but it will be even better in two to three years. Spicy aftertaste." Wine Spectator
"Complex and deeply embedded flavours of ripe blackberries, spices and aromatic bark. Full-bodied and very firm for now, with impressive concentration of fruit and tannin. Very long, balanced finish. A great wine for now, but a wine for the cellar. Patience will be rewarded. Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera. This has always been a top Tuscan red wine. Best from 2027." James Suckling
"Super fragrant nose, patchouli, potpourri, Turkish delight, rose with caramelised red berries and a hint of smoke and incense - all very present and expressive. You could smell the nose alone for hours, it is so complex and beguiling. On the palate, it is powerful and concentrated, broad and muscular, sinewy with depth and determination. The tannins are well integrated, supporting the fruit and acidity and driving the flavours forward despite the obvious weight and grip. The red berry flavours continue on the palate with hints of stone, graphite and matches. Rich and big on the mid-palate, it becomes more focused towards the finish. Definitely well made and full of life. The acidity is great, cool, clean, smooth and packed with flavour. It's almost too much, because this wine is big and needs time, but it has great appeal and is fresh throughout." Decanter
"A blend of Sangioveto and Malvasia Nera, which has always been a wine totem for Tuscan production. Blackberry jam and Mediterranean scrub on the nose, a hint of eucalyptus, dense and flavourful on the palate, very persistent on the finish, with a balsamic hint." Luca Gardini

“Collezione Privata” Chardonnay Toscana IGT 2022
Fragrant bouquet of bright flowers, peach and tropical fruit, slight hints of honey and minerals. Smooth on the palate, very balanced, complex and with an invigorating mineral freshness. A very rare, remarkable Tuscan Chardonnay, aged for 11 months on the lees in barriques. Chardonnay Collezione Privata is a real achievement, above all for its natural ability to showcase the purity of the grape variety and the importance of texture in equal measure. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling light gold colour. Elegant, beguiling bouquet of ripe stone fruit and honeydew melon, with hints of orange blossom, acacia honey and a touch of nutmeg. Smooth as silk on the palate, gentle and decisive with very well-integrated, spicy wood, great precision and length." Falstaff
"The 2022 Chardonnay Collezione Privata is an elegant, very supple wine. Notes of apricot, dried flowers, chamomile and hazelnut are framed by a subtle kiss of French oak. Medium-bodied and refined, the 2022 is quite impressive, especially for this year." Vinous
"Very restrained citrus profile with notes of bitter lemon peel and yellow grapefruit accompanied by delicate roasted flavours. The attack is polished, with a medium body, well-integrated acidity, a savoury grip on the finish and a soft, hedonistic but always exciting texture. How much this wine has improved compared to the past." James Suckling
"The Isole e Olena 2022 Chardonnay Collezione Privata is spirited and full of character, thanks to a vein of spice and cinnamon that combines with nectarine and poached pear. I love the unabashed intensity of this warm vintage. The acidity is present and the bouquet sings powerfully. This blend of ripe fruit and oak spice overlays the medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and gives the wine a long persistence." Wine Advocate

Barolo “Cerretta” DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Cerretto is a fruit-driven wine of virile, explosive power that shows, among other things, how different the wines of Serralunga can be. Black cherry, plum, sage, menthol and liquorice hit the palate in a firm, tannic Barolo that will require some patience, but already presents itself with remarkable freshness, purity and nuance. Cerretta is the embodiment of the richness and structure of Serralunga. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant fruit flavours, lilac and balsamic notes; supple in the mouth, lots of melting, the acidity vif, beguilingly fruity with fine mineral notes and length." Vinum
"Very inviting aroma with red and blue fruits, very elegant, with a very fine, balanced tannin structure, beautiful fruit sweetness without being overloaded, carried by a fine acidity. Wonderfully balanced, very well-balanced; a really beautiful wine that is already ready to drink." Weinwisser
"Rich and sweet. A little heavier than the Baudana. Needs time." Jancis Robinson
"A fresh and elegant Barolo that shows rose petals, wild strawberries, sour cherries and dried citrus peel on the nose. It is medium-bodied, with very fine tannins and a minerality of crushed stone that comes through at the end." James Suckling
"The Barolo Cerretta 2020 is a very complete wine in this vintage. Deep and layered, but in the medium-bodied style of the vintage, the 2020 impresses with its balance and overall harmony. Juicy red cherry fruit, spices, rose petals, mint and dried herbs fill out the layers well. The powerful finish is very attractive." Vinous
"The Luigi Baudana 2020 Barolo Cerretta has bold lines and shows dominant dark fruits. You get all the intensity of Serralunga d'Alba with ferruginous earth, dried apricot, blackcurrant, iron ore and crushed stone. The wine finishes on a dry note, enhanced by the tight nature of the fine chalky tannins, but there is enough fruit to soften the effect. There is a hint of nutmeg or sweet spice on the palate." Wine Advocate
"The Cerretta of this vintage is a wine that attracts attention. The aromas of dried cherries, red plums and dried leaves are reminiscent of the warmth of high summer. Spicy herbs add depth and hint at the complexity of the wine. On the palate, this Barolo is more savoury than fruity, with dark wild berries harmonising with wild herbs, pine and pressed flowers. Firm tannins give the wine an unmistakable gravitas and show that it is the boss." Wine Enthusiast
"A beam of pure cherry leads off, along with strawberry, licorice, tar and menthol flavors. Supple yet firm, with terrific balance and a long, tightly wound finish, revealing fruit, mineral and wild scrub notes. This is all about the texture." Wine Spectator
"An irresistible blend of small red fruits such as pomegranate, with notes of camphor, cinnamon, Parma violets and a deep spiciness. Fruit richness and concentration dominate the delicate, refreshing palate, with equally graceful, fine-grained tannins and a sweet finish, despite its youth." Decanter

Brunello di Montalcino “Ugolforte” Riserva DOCG 2018 (BIO)
The winery's first Riserva is produced from a selection of two plots at the highest altitudes on the estate (450 metres). The steep, south-facing plots lie on stony, ferrous soils. SUPERIORE.DE
"Interesting notes of small forest fruits and flowers, mushrooms and undergrowth; compact on the palate, the tannins fine-grained, supported by the acidity, ends long on notes of red berries, balsamic, harmonious." Vinum
"Aged in 30 hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels, this debut vintage is extroverted and vibrant, with aromas of sweet herbs, ginger, tobacco and dried orange peel. The palate is ripe and full-bodied with juicy red and blackcurrant flavours, supported by youthful and robust, yet supple and approachable tannins. 7,000 bottles were produced." Decanter
"The Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte Riserva 2018 shows a completely different intensity with dried cherries, raspberry jam, redcurrants and Red Delicious apple. The wine is very generous and densely packed in terms of flavours. The tannins are fine and chalky, but definitely on the more approachable side of the spectrum for a Brunello Riserva." Wine Advocate
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Ugolforte has gained a hauntingly dark presence, perfumed with dusty rose, violet, crushed rock, black cherry and spice. Cool-toned and sleek, it displays textures of pure silk, with crisp red fruits accentuated by autumnal spices as chalky minerals saturate toward the close. It tapers off grippy and long, tannic yet not severe, with a resonance of licorice and currant that fades slowly." Vinous
"This round red wine with flavours of cherries, strawberries, iron and tobacco is intense and elegant, with a dense tannin matrix and a lively acidity that accompanies it to a long, detailed aftertaste. A harmonious wine that should develop well." Wine Spectator
"Very intense nose of lemon leaves, rosebuds and pomegranates. The freshness is supported by a soft palate with a full body, crisp acidity and dense, velvety tannins of great ripeness. Refined, flavoursome and lively on the finish." James Suckling
