Corte del Lupo Bianco celebrated its debut with the 2017 vintage and is the successor to the classic Curtefranca Bianco, which has been a favourite for years. The grapes come from 11 historic vineyards planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. They are over 30 years old. Bright straw yellow in colour, with a fresh apricot aroma, fine woody notes and a structured, balanced flavour. Spicy and round on the palate, with a fine acidity and a mineral note on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for this sparkling wine, produced using the classic Champagne method, come from vineyards around Contessa Entellina. Fine, intense bouquet of bread crust and some dried fruit. Elegant, fresh and balanced flavour and a wonderful length. SUPERIORE.DE

Beautiful single vineyard Nerello from the north side of Etna. Cherry and small wild strawberry on the nose. Very clearly accentuated and fresh taste, acidity and tannin in perfect harmony and well integrated. Long finish with an impressive elegance and freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Elegant bright ruby red. Fine-smelling, red berry nose, with a hint of sea salt, cold smoke, reverberating iron and slightly earthy. The palate is dense and tight, showing powerful, tight tannin, savoury, stretching long across the tongue, earthy finish." Falstaff

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Firm red-fruit nose with just a hint of oak. A core of red fruit framed in chewy tannins. Very long, while the firm structure needs a little more time, which would need a tad more fruit concentration to balance out. Right now it has lots of charm." Jancis Robinson

"The Cottanera 2017 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo draws its fruit from one of the grand cru sites of Etna, if you care to classify the appellation vineyards in that manner. From a hot vintage, this wine shows depth and concentration that gives the wine weight and a heavy center of gravity. That makes all the difference in terms of mouthfeel. The wine's volume and texture have been considerably enhanced. The quality of fruit is solid, and the wine shows pretty acidity thanks to vineyard sites located at a cool 750 meters in elevation." Wine Advocate

Animardente is a pure Nerello Mascalese produced from vines planted in bushes at an altitude of 700 metres on partly sandy and ashy, partly gravelly soils that are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night. The name of the wine is derived from the bowels of the volcano, from its incessant activity, the heat and the colour of the magma. The vines grow in a kind of amphitheatre created by volcanic eruptions, which over the centuries have produced a valuable substrate for viticulture: On dark volcanic soils formed from lava flows, mainly free-living, rootless vines develop here, which are exposed to the most extreme climatic influences. Animardente was born a few years ago in this almost moon-like landscape. A name that tells of the soul of the silent volcano, unexpected and incandescent, breathing life into perpetual motion. An irrepressible and seductive force of nature, the expression of a unique terroir.

Animardente 2019 has a dark consistency and a beautifully saturated garnet red colour. The bouquet has a wildly romantic impression of spices, dried berries, cassis, lavender flowers and polished river rock. More concentrated on the palate than many of its Etna counterparts, yet with captivating elegance and harmony. Seductive, powerful, structured and authentic. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a sparkling centre. The nose is characterised by strong reduction, cold smoke, delicate red berry fruit, red currants, restrained overall. Clear on the palate with a juicy core, shows equally juicy tannins, also full-bodied pressure." Falstaff

"Raspberries, cola cubes and vanilla notes on the nose. Light, fresh and full-bodied, but with creamy tannins. Mouth-filling and bright with a certain lightness. Well balanced and juicy. Excellent food companion with not too high acidity, everything in balance. Easy to drink and enjoy." Decanter

"The Contrada Santo Spirito di Passopisciaro 2019 Etna Rosso Animardente offers dark fruits and a medium-bodied concentration. This particular density is a characteristic of this classic vintage. The wine offers fine tannins and Etna-specific flavours of wild berries, cassis, wild roses and ashy minerality. This wine is accessible, open and goes well with grilled meat. The fruit comes from 70-year-old Alberello vines that grow at 700 metres above sea level with a north-easterly exposure." Wine Advocate

"A medium-bodied, spicy and mineral red wine with lots of fresh and dried cherries, oyster shells, mushrooms and a little iodine. Also tea leaves. Firm tannins. Fresh, mineral finish." James Suckling

Stoan has a spicy and floral aroma of ginger, crushed apples, savoury herbs and wet slate. It feels soothingly silky yet upbeat, focusing on ripe orchard fruits, along with a subtle hint of candied citrus for contrast. The palate remains crisp and clean with nuances of grapefruit and lime that linger. Firm pressure on the final, savoury. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow in colour. Immediately present on the nose with a mix of fresh and exotic fruits, slight hints of culinary herbs such as sage and mint. Full-bodied, slightly melting without appearing fat, animating acidity to the end, invites further drinking, pleasantly long finish." Falstaff

"The acidity of tangerine peel enlivens this balanced white wine and provides a counterpoint to the silky texture, which carries notes of ripe plums, Gala apples, blanched almonds, fleur de sel and orchard blossom. The finish is full of vigour." Wine Spectator

"This heady white wine opens with aromas of candied lemon peel, delicate pink rose petals, and a medley of tropical fruits, all intertwined with hints of sweet spice. On the palate, the wine reveals a delightful interplay of stone fruit flavors and roasted orchard fruit notes. The result is a well-balanced and refreshing white wine that aims to please." Wine Enthusiast

"This successful blend does not shy away from the smoky oak spices, which still need a year to integrate better. Underneath there is an impressive intensity and texture with a full body and a lush and very flavourful creamy finish. I like the length and substance of this wine." James Suckling

"Myriads of grassy herbs, apples and lemons, very lively and bright. Brilliantly fresh and seductive with a chalky mineral core and invigorating acidity. Unmistakable and cheerful." Decanter

On the nose, mineral-tinged black cherry, damp earth tones, autumn leaves and a hint of animal musk. On the palate, strawberries tending towards cranberry, spices with citrus notes, a hint of tannin and pretty red flowers. The wine continues to delight right into the lively finish and leaves an impression that is more reminiscent of a Brunello than a Rosso. Simply stunning. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine is characterised by its fresh acidity and great underlying fruit. When savouring the Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2021 Rosso di Montalcino, you can really taste fresh cherry and raspberry. The wine captures the essence of a classic Rosso, intended for easy drinking and short-term ageing potential. This vintage delivers particularly cheerful and lively results." Wine Advocate

"Split cedar and pine give way to dusty rose and dried black cherries as the darkly alluring 2021 Rosso di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. Its plush textures and ripe dark red fruits flaunt their southern Montalcino terroir as brisk acidity and mineral tones maintain a lovely balance. The 2021 finishes lightly structured yet still energetic, enlivened by a lingering spiced citrus note. Short-term cellaring is recommended." Vinous

Piandorino, the "entry-level wine" from Pian dell'Orino, represents its noble origins with great class. Light, bright ruby red in colour, with a beautiful bouquet of dark cherry, fresh plum, peppery notes and delicate vanilla tones. Juicy fruit on the palate, accompanied by a flattering woody note, finely balanced tannins and good length. This wine is fine and beautifully delicate on the finish. The grapes for Piandorino come from the estate's younger Brunello vines and around 3,000 bottles are produced each year. SUPERIORE.DE

Aria di Caiarossa is a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Alicante, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon - in decreasing order. At this young stage, you taste the purity of the primary aromas with wild cherry and raspberry, underpinned by dark spice and a hint of crushed mineral. These elegant mineral notes are found throughout the Caiarossa portfolio. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, impenetrable ruby red with a slightly lightening rim. Multi-layered and complex nose of ripe wild berries and plum, reverberating with hints of verbena, bitter chocolate and wet leather. On the palate, full-bodied and powerful, with a fine tannin structure, spicy and with a long-lasting final." Falstaff

"Impenetrable dark ruby. Lifted, deep cassis nose and fresh and juicy on the palate with blackberry, cherry and cassis fruit and crunchy tannins. Sensationally balanced and irresistible." Jancis Robinson

"The biodynamic and certified organic Caiarossa 2019 Aria di Caiarossa is a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Alicante, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. You feel the concentration and richness of those grapes, especially the softness of the Merlot and the Syrah, and the firm structure of the two Cabernets. The bouquet reveals black and purple fruits with some background leather and spice. This is a fun and accessible Tuscan red blend." Wine Advocate

"A juicy and savory red with dark-berry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Full-bodied with tight, chewy tannins that give the wine length and focus. Needs time to soften." James Suckling

Medium-bodied ruby red, fine rose bouquet with hints of tea and dried herbs. Beautiful black cherry aroma with well-integrated wood notes makes it a balanced and at no point intrusive wine. The 2016 climate also gave this Nebbiolo an impressive precision and straightness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium red; some fruit, tobacco; powerful, juicy, good tartness, very pleasant." Merum

"Developed-looking mid ruby with bricky rim. Brooding, complex, deep nose with a hint of Moroccan leather. Generous but not yet fully open fruit, stitched together by gorgeous chewy tannins and ripe acidity. Good medium-term potential." Jancis Robinson

Here is a big, rich Rosso that is harmonious and impressive in all its components. The bouquet alternates between dried cherries and a fine tobacco note. The palate is taut and precise, in keeping with the house style, and its body is supported by powerful tannins, making it an ideal accompaniment to Tuscan cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant carmine red colour. A little closed compared to 2020 and brooding. Supple, ripe red fruit with fresh, juicy acidity and plenty of enveloping tannins that don't overpower the fruit. Great length, balance and freshness and with more substance than the 2020. I can imagine it getting even better in another year." Jancis Robinson

"The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is wildly fresh with vivid raspberry, cherry, mint and clove. This flows across the palate with the silkiest of textures contrasted by tart red berries and zesty acids as hints of autumnal spice settle in toward the close. The 2021 finishes concentrated, long and youthfully intense. Grippy tannins promise many years of development. There is simply so much going on here and more to come, yet this newly minted Rosso will require patience to show its best." Vinous

"The confirmation of a territorial vocation in this truly surprising red wine, refined and intense at the same time. Raspberry, a hint of ginseng and liquorice root on the nose, spicy tannins, fruity and spicy, with great drinkability." Luca Gardini

Keir Ansonica is the white answer to Keir Syrah, which is also aged in amphorae. A wine produced in a small edition of 2,000 bottles, neither clarified nor filtered, it is an expression of innovation and tradition at the same time.

Light golden yellow. Fine, reductive bouquet of lemon peel, tropical fruits and yellow apple with hints of smoke, honey, spices, herbs and broom. Dry, medium-bodied palate with nice acidity, freshness and complexity. The flavours reflect the bouquet beautifully and lead into a medium length finish. Very nice first vintage of this truly special white wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is the first vintage of a Keir white wine, made from Ansonica macerated on the skins in amphorae for two months. Unclarified and unfiltered, it has a deep, golden, Sauternes-like colour, with waxy orange peel aromas and just a hint of mineral and irony. Salty, savoury flavours on the palate are accompanied by a noticeable tannic edge. A twist of orange peel make this a characterful wine, perfect for drinking with spicy Szechuan-style dishes." Decanter

Pulin is the result of the rediscovery of the Granaccia grape, which is one of the most precious of the small wine region of Liguria and was almost extinct. The wines, produced in absolutely small quantities, have an excellent structure, Mediterranean radiance and remarkable ageing potential.

Intense and concentrated cherry red, Mediterranean bouquet of red fruits such as strawberry, blackberry, wild strawberries, plus fine hints of sweet spices and tobacco. On the palate, very harmonious with elegant, polished tannins and a very long and spicy finish. An impressive red of great complexity, elegance and finesse, here all components are impressively perfectly matched. SUPERIORE.DE

The new Fusonero is a delight all along the line: in the bouquet fresh rose scent, spices, red berries, mint and liquorice. The palate is dominated by light, soft aromas, while the wilder, impetuous side of the Aglianico grape is elegantly restrained. It is a particularly silky, fragrant Taurasi, immediate, attractive - and with great depth and potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep ruby colour, lush notes of cherries, strawberries and sweet oak spice, vanilla and black pepper. The Sangiovese gives great freshness to the blend and is in perfect balance with the silky and soft tannins of the Merlot. Rich overall, yet always elegant and with great persistence. A complex, superbly structured red of absolute supertuscan quality. SUPERIORE.DE

"A juicy and creamy red with aromas and flavors of redcurrants and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, tight palate and a fresh and vivid finish. Some aniseed and sage. Crunchy finish to it." James Suckling

"Here's a new and frankly delightful discovery from Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto. The 2019 Amor Costante is pleasure to drink, with one glass of wine inviting the next pour. This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Sangiovese manages an almost full-bodied approach while maintaining terrific balance and elegance. It offers a long list of black and purple fruit aromas with blackberry and plum, plus the additional textural fiber you would expect of those flavors, along with soft spice and smoke. The finish is stitched together by tart fruit flavors and firm tannins. This is a 2,252-bottle release." Wine Advocate

In South Tyrol, the "Vigna" classification guarantees the origin of a site wine. This Sauvignon is a selection from the best grapes of the Oberkerschbaum estate in Buchholz/Salurn at an altitude of about 800 metres. Thanks to the special microclimate, the ideal orientation and the challenging altitude, the Oberkerschbaum estate is one of the most exciting cru sites for South Tyrolean Sauvignon.

Intense straw yellow colour with delicate greenish reflections. Aromas of ripe citrus fruits, grapefruit and bergamot mingle with delicate scents of flint and nettle. On the palate, this fruitiness continues - Oberkerschbaum is a Sauvignon of harmonious complexity that never seems too slender despite its racy acidity and convinces us completely with its aromatic length. SUPERIORE.DE

Elegant, full and soft, the Merlot Siebeneich with its slightly balsamic, earthy and fleshy bouquet. On the palate firm and multi-layered with small dark berries and herbs, soft tannin, good length. Very delicate and with great potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Attractive Ribolla Gialla in light golden yellow and with a charming scent of ripe fruit. The palate shows personality and character, complex, multi-layered, very fruity and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright greenish yellow. Fragrant nose of fresh apple and a hint of banana, reminiscent of meadow herbs in the finish. Fresh and youthful on the palate, shows fine melting, slightly salty in the final." Falstaff

Powerful and warm red wine in Riserva quality with pronounced dark blackberry notes and a fine smoky wood note. The full flavour is beautifully balanced with a remarkable finish. Vigna Steinraffler comes from the new single vineyard of the same name and undisputedly belongs to the Lagrein elite of the region. SUPERIORE.DE

Nero di Nubi is a brilliant, unspoilt expression of this delicate Burgundy grape variety with great strength and a typical Tuscan attitude. You can taste the warmth and exuberance of the lush 2015 vintage, but this additional richness and strength never exceeds the natural limits set by this variety from the outset. In the bouquet forest berries and candied cherry with orange peel and violet. To finish, a little powdered earth with dried Mediterranean herbs. Fabulous! SUPERIORE.DE

Starting with the grapes from the Cru Misco vineyard, those grapes are selected that can best develop first in steel and then in the bottle. This ageing process emphasises the richness of the grape variety, its spicy and mineral notes and provides the ideal conditions for long ageing, while retaining its aromatic vibrancy at all times. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, radiant straw yellow colour. Sea salt, raspberries, pineapple, juicy pear and candied lemon zest on the nose with a hint of spice. Opens up on the palate with great playfulness, savoury and clear, appears very noble, lingers long and polished on the final." Falstaff

"Rich notes of baked apricot and toasted almond are enlivened by bright, lemony acidity, with hints of pink grapefruit zest and grated ginger to create a fine, focused interplay on the creamy palate of this vivid white. Milled white pepper, dried herbs and stony mineral notes linger on the mouthwatering finish." Wine Spectator

"Ripe and seductive with some phenols and a hint of honey on the nose and palate. Rich and round with good acidity and freshness. Impressive length and intensity." Decanter

"The Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Riserva Misco 2018 holds its power in reserve, displaying a delicate but layered and sweetly scented bouquet that blends white smoke with pretty flowers, chamomile, cardamom and melon. Its weighty, almost oily texture is balanced by a core of bright acidity, where lemon zest combines with green apple and a hint of ginger to create a satisfying and savoury experience. For all the depth and character the Riserva shows today, the best is yet to come. The finish is long and tense, but still leaves you wanting more, along with that textbook almond bitterness that goes on and on. Brava." Vinous

Prunotto's Barbaresco shows a strong dose of Nebbiolo personality and opens with balanced notes of dried berries, liquorice, tar and blue flowers. The ensemble is delicate and fresh. What makes this wine so attractive is the fact that it offers such a clear and unadulterated view of the grape, which comes across particularly well in this very attractive drop. The finish is full of elegance and silk. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light red colour; reductive red fruit; round attack, barrel-like, coffee, fine tannin, caramel, long, drinky, pleasing." (JLF) Merum

"Aromas of wild raspberries with floral undertones lift from the glass of this classic Barbaresco followed by present but subtle earthy tones. The juicy palate is loaded with tart red fruits balanced by medicinal herbs and sweet spices. Supple tannins are lifted on the finish by the vibrant acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"A dense red, with macerated cherry and berry flavours overshadowed by liquorice, hay, menthol and a hint of leather. Although light, it is intense and persistent, with ripe fruit on the finish. Excellent balance and length." Wine Spectator

"Full of restraint, liquorice, dill, blood orange, intensely floral, with vibrant fruit such as strawberry and orange. It has a lot of volume. Lively freshness to the finish and firm, muscular tannins that are youthful, dusty and yet ripe. A graceful classic for the long haul. Bric Turot is a single vineyard with south-east and south-west exposure in the Pertinace area." Decanter
