This is soft and round, with a pretty inner sweetness up front that gives way to savory notes of sour lime and sage. It finishes long and round as hints of sour melon perfume the finale.

The grapes for Ettamiano are harvested when slightly overripe, a trick that the famous winegrowers' co-operative likes to use with great flair. The variety should show as much of its origin as possible, which is why they rely on a short maturation period and only use French barriques that have been used several times.

Intense ruby red colour with violet reflections. At first sip, Ettamiano is a Primitivo that is characterised by its pleasantness, but at no time does it pander. The glass reveals hints of ripe but lively fruit, spicy notes of cinnamon, then cocoa and liquorice. The flavour is consistent and persistent, supported by a fresh and spicy note that keeps you coming back for more. Long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

A picture-book Moscato! SUPERIORE.DE

Terre di Chieti IGT was created in 1995 when the IGT category was first introduced throughout Italy. It is complemented by the more site-specific title Colline Teatine IGT, which focuses only on the hills around the provincial capital of Chieti. The Pecorino grape variety, which has in the meantime returned strongly to the focus of international wine lovers, thrives particularly well here and produces complex, mineral white wines on the mostly clay and limestone soils.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. Fine bouquet of sage and citrus fruits. Fresh and with a certain pressure on the palate, with very good harmony and impressive fruit-acid play, final rounded finish with an interesting herbal spiciness. SUPERIORE.DE

Dense, firm on the palate with a present, soft tannin and a fine acid wire. SUPERIORE.DE

The porphyry soils on which the vines for the first organic wine from the successful co-operative winery grow are of volcanic origin, and the former lava flows gave the elegant, fresh wine its name. It is a perfectly successful symbiosis of the organic origins of the Bolzano region and the contemporary high standards of fresh and crisp South Tyrolean white wines. Bright straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. Full bouquet of ripe apple, peach and hints of tropical fruit. Firm, precise and well-structured on the palate, its pleasant acidity carries it into a remarkable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

A South Tyrolean Pinot Noir could hardly be more harmonious: Medium cherry red colour, aromas of raspberry pulp and cassis. Round, soft on the palate, velvety tannins, delicate chocolate notes, juicy finish with fine fruit sweetness, elegant and long-lasting. SUPERIORE.DE

"This silky red has a light, pleasing plumpness that carries pure fruit notes of wild strawberry and cherry, with a rich thread of dried fig and roasted plum. A subtle, fragrant overtone of dried sage, orange peel, smoke-tinged minerality and spices lingers on the bright finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Meczan is remarkably pretty. Dusty rose and lavender tones complement wild strawberries. This sweeps across the palate with juicy textures and ripe wild berry fruits, complemented by hints of orange zest and tactile mineral tones.

The first alcoholic fermentation of the must takes place in steel tanks on the fine lees at a controlled temperature and after a waiting period of at least six months, the wine is bottled. The bottles remain at a constant temperature of 12°C so that the wine can undergo its second fermentation and mature on its own yeasts, which remain at the bottom of the bottle as a light sediment (note: it is not filtered!).

An animating cherry red colour with violet reflections and a yeasty cloudiness due to the lack of filtration. A surprisingly cheeky nose of wild strawberry and redcurrant, very fresh and accessible. The palate is vibrant with lots of raspberry and traces of rhubarb, the exciting interplay is flanked by delicate yeast tones and a wonderfully present acidity and ensures an impressive race and class that only the Lambrusco grandmaster Christian Bellei can conjure up in the bottle! SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, brilliant cherry pink colour with persistent perlage and slight cloudiness. Cool nose of delicate apricots and forest fruits, great lemony components, fresh and fragrant. Very dry on the palate, with a delicate fruity flavour, salty, a little tannin on the finish, full-bodied." Falstaff

"The NV Rimosso is inviting, with a pretty mix of violets, lavender and blueberries. On the palate, this Rimosso is more flamboyant, savoury and intense, with a chiselled bead of bubbles punctuated by ripe wild berries. The Rimosso finishes perfumed and long, leaving a fluid, floral colour and tactile mineral tones that linger. Very beautiful." Vinous

"The wine showcases small ripe strawberries, complete with their seeds, alongside notes of strawberry leaf and subtle rose hip aromas, intertwined with a mixed bouquet of herbs.

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

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

"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

Selvarossa has been Cantine Due Palme's top wine for well over 30 years: deep red, sweet tobacco and fruit aromas on the nose, intense and generous on the palate with flavours of dark berries, plums and chocolate, supple and fresh at the same time, plenty of density and bite on the finish.
