Elegant bouquet of white fruits, flowers and yeast notes. The full, multi-layered aroma of white stone fruit and the fine, long-lasting perlage inspire to the last sip! SUPERIORE.DE

Valtellina Superiore Quadrio 2020 is an attractive entry-level offering into the great world of Nino Negri. Sweet macerated cherry, spices, leather, tobacco and a hint of orange peel give this medium-bodied wine many nuances that match its understated, medium-bodied personality. The tannins are wonderfully harmonious, with an elegant, very pleasant bitter note on the long final. SUPERIORE.DE

Concentrated and excellently structured, Gravello demonstrates true greatness with its complexity. Ripe, red fruit and spicy notes on the nose, combined with balsamic tones. Dense, full of substance and tannin on the palate with an extremely elegant, long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blackcurrant, some pepper, dark forest fruit, cherry and forest floor. Dense, powerful attack on the palate, but with a balancing juiciness. Slender and fresh structure. Dark chocolate on the finish. Good length." Vinum

"Rich ruby red with a slightly lighter rim. Ripe forest fruits and strawberries on the nose, with some spice and rhubarb in the background. Smooth and elegant on the palate, with clear red fruit and a powerful final, a classic." Falstaff

Classic Bolgheri Rosso with a strong bouquet of raspberries and redcurrants, cassis and a little tobacco. Juicy, full-bodied flavour, beautiful tannins and good acidity. A wonderful introduction to the great world of Le Macchiole wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"Always a reliable blend that smells of cassis, dark nougat and mushrooms; polished in the mouth, ripe acidity, the tannins well integrated, long and fresh-fruity finish." Vinum

"Brilliant ruby violet colour. Slightly ethereal nose with fruity notes, light smoke paired with spice. Balanced on the palate with structured tannins, the finish is long with great juiciness." Falstaff

"The 2022 Bolgheri Rosso is a soft, uncomplicated red wine that can be drunk now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry fruit, pipe tobacco, cedar and spice open up nicely and add a lot of charm to this medium-bodied Rosso. Soft contours complete the whole with style." Vinous

"A ripe, juicy version with crisp flavours of cherries, blackberries and spice. This wine is rather tannic, with a delicious, moderately long finish." Wine Spectator

"This wine is really polished and smooth, with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It has a medium body, a creamy texture and a long and expressive finish with red fruits, stones and thyme." James Suckling

"The nose opens with sweet, lush layers of blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate before a riot of herbs, pepper and warm, ferruginous earth take over. The palate is structured and full-bodied, even as the juicy berries burst forth and flood the mouth. It's a rare treat to get a wine like this at this price." Wine Enthusiast

Le Difese is the freshest and most accessible of the three wines from San Guido. For us, it is one of Tuscany's finest price-quality wonders. Magnificent, sweetly perfumed fruit aromas in the opulent bouquet, equally generous and broad in the long-lasting flavour of dark cherries, wild strawberries and tangy rosehips. Le Difese shows the estate's great class in a more playful way. SUPERIORE.DE

"This red delivers cherry, berry and rose flavors shaded by earth and a touch of minerality. Tips to the tannic side on the finish, with fine length." Wine Spectator

"Le Difese 2021 is predominantly Sangiovese (55%), departing from the traditional 70/30 split in favour of Cabernet Sauvignon. The third generation of Tenuta San Guido, Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta, explained that this decision was made to enhance the "local Tuscan" character of the wine and improve its drinkability at an early stage as a "first step into the world of Tenuta San Guido". While the Cabernet is grown on the estate, the Sangiovese is, as always, sourced from long-standing partners in Chianti Rufina. Bright, incredibly vibrant red, black and blue fruits are accompanied by subtle, fine-grained tannins with notes of wood and chocolate. It is simultaneously juicy, tangy and crisp, with good ripeness and great acidity." Decanter

"The 2021 Le Difese smells of crushed red berries, rose petals, lavender, spices and sweet pipe tobacco. The 2021 is medium-bodied, but beautifully complex and impeccably balanced. Even at this early stage, it is a real pleasure. In many vintages, Le Difese is a fruity, forward wine, but the 2021 has a classic flavour that is very appealing. It is one of my favourite vintages of recent years. As has been the case for some time, Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate and Sangiovese purchased from various estates in Chianti Classico, with the energy of the Sangiovese coming through very strongly in this vintage." Vinous

"Dark, sparkling ruby red colour. Opens up on the nose to ripe sour cherry and blueberries, followed by notes of sage and wood spice. Flattering on the palate, with pithy tannins and concentrated fruit, pleasant right through to the lingering final." Falstaff

Elegant, delicate Chianti Classico and one of the best of its appellation every year: light red colour, aromas of strawberry and elderberry, fresh fruit on the palate, beautifully juicy and balanced, enormously supple on the finish. Possesses polish, elegance and, despite its visually high price, a very good value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, rich ruby red colour. Clear, inviting nose, opens with redcurrants and ripe blackberries, followed by orange peel with eucalyptus. Juicy and round on the palate, supple, fine-meshed tannins, slightly salty, stimulating to drink, elegant, medium finish." Falstaff

"Brilliant medium to deep ruby red colour. Initially spicy and mineral on the nose, with a shy, brooding fruit underneath. Juicy, tangy cherry fruit in abundance on the palate. Great depth and fantastic, enveloping, almost smooth tannins. Lively." Jancis Robinson

"The Chianti Classico 2021 impresses with its light colour and medium-bodied structure. It has a remarkable textural depth and supportive structure. This is a very beautiful and expressive wine. Dried herbs, mint, spices and crushed red berry fruit are beautifully characterised. Bright acids and floral nuances round out the whole." Vinous

"Complex, balanced and smooth in texture, this red wine has aromas and flavours of cherries, strawberries, rosehips, iron and almonds. Refined, with a lively acidity that defines the delicious finish." Wine Spectator

"Gradually, it reveals characteristic nuances of brushwood, redcurrants, rosehips, strawberries and pepper. On the palate, it is juicy and light-footed, concentrated and with pure and persistent red berry flavours. Taut, integrated tannins provide definition and it finishes with garden-fresh herbs." Decanter

"The Isole e Olena 2021 Chianti Classico is a gently structured and charming wine that is impeccably closed and balanced. It offers excellent value at this price. This wine is packed with bright fruits, wild cherries and blue flowers. It finishes with a touch of refreshing acidity befitting Sangiovese." Wine Advocate

"Super-spicy Chianti that's all about liquorice root, restrained black cherries, fresh violets and meaty notes. It seems to be a serious effort, with graphite flavours joined by firm, chalky and chewy tannins, crisp acidity and a super-polished finish." James Suckling

The grapes for the Barbaresco come mainly from the top vineyards Pora, Ovello, Montestefano, Muncagota and Rio Sordo. Deep, lively ruby to garnet red colour. A broad bouquet of red fruits and biscuits with a hint of minerality. The palate is characterised by a rich, solid structure and a continuous development that ends in a long, fragrant final. Every year, the leading Italian winegrowers' cooperative shows what it and its members are capable of with its basic Barbaresco. SUPERIORE.DE

"Youthful, medium ruby red colour. A real, concentrated fruit nose, which is sadly lacking in this vintage. Subtle marasca cherry on the palate with lots of finely milled tannins; head and shoulders above the rest." Jancis Robinson

"It is aromatic and attractive with notes of dried cherries, hibiscus, cocoa and bark, followed by a medium body with polished and refined tannins with a velvety texture and a linear finish. Fresh and floral on the finish with a bright red fruit backbone." James Suckling

"The 2020 Barbaresco is a beautiful, harmonious wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring time. Forward fruit and soft curves are perhaps a little atypical for a young Barbaresco, but this also makes the wine very enjoyable. Juicy red cherry and plum fruit, rose petals, spices, cedar, mint and tobacco come together in the glass. Classicists will probably prefer other vintages, but it's hard not to like the 2020 for its charming, exuberant personality. At the same time, aeration brings out a greater aromatic presence and also a good structure." Vinous

"Still vinous, with youthful strawberry notes, rosebud, violets, liquorice and a hint of cinnamon. Spicy and floral on the palate, dominated by firm, crisp and persistent acidity and velvety, ripe tannins of astonishing quality; perhaps a little austere on the finish. Amazing Barbaresco. Here we have the Barbaresco co-operative, known for producing some of the best value quality wines in the Langhe." Decanter

"Be inspired by the harmonious blend of cooked cherries and a range of spice blends, accompanied by subtle hints of medicinal herbs and rose water. Soft and rounded, but with a noticeable spiciness, this wine presents a fruit-driven profile with flavours of cherry and raspberry complemented by a refreshing acidity. Its polished and elegant character develops in the bottle and will age long into the future, while it is already great today." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2020 Barbaresco offers a wealth of flavours of wild cherries, blue flowers, sweet spices and crushed limestone. As always, the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo, albeit with a little more richness and texture in this vintage. This is especially true on the palate, where the wine offers a medium-bodied intensity with melting tannins." Wine Advocate

Every year, La Crena is one of the best and most refined Barbera wines that Piedmont produces. The vines in the Vigna del Nove parcel date back to the 1930s. This vintage will also need many years to develop its full expressiveness, but that's the way it is and we love this crazy development potential so much. La Crena is creamy and rich in the glass, dense, very concentrated with an abundance of layers of fruit that only develop fully with further years of ageing and make for an energetic, exciting wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense violet colour with ruby reflections and a brightening rim. Ripe fruit of blueberries and blackberries on the nose, some thyme, underlaid with cinnamon and dark chocolate. Powerful and balanced on the palate with a good acid structure and harmonious tannins, ending with a long final of fruit and spice." Falstaff

"The certified organic Vietti 2021 Barbera d'Asti La Crena shows a very good sense of balance with sweet and savory sides that transcend the bouquet. It starts off with redcurrant, a lightly floral note, rose hip and Amarena cherry. In fact, that sour cherry note continues to the palate, giving this wine a bright, red fruit quality that works with the darker side the Barbera grape." Wine Advocate

"Opulent bouquet with dark fruits, softened by a stylish oak. Smooth and juicy, fine texture, balanced by a strong acidity that adds some spice and flair to the finish. Vincenzo Arnese: Candied aromas of sour cherry and wild strawberry, very expressive. Powerful on the palate with robust tannins that will smooth out over time, but still very rich and pleasant." Decanter

"The Barbera d'Asti La Crena 2021 is exceptional. Bright, reddish fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper and rose petals are beautifully emphasised. Vietti has recently placed more emphasis on freshness in his Barberas, and this is particularly evident in La Crena - a wine that used to be very dark and heavy, but is now far from it. Clean, mineral notes prolong the lively finish. Give this wine a few years to develop the full range of its flavours. What a wine!" Vinous

Since the 2011 vintage, the Riserva Marchese Antinori has been made entirely from grapes from Tenuta Tignanello. As a result, the production volume has decreased and a further leap in quality has been made. Sparkling ruby in colour, with a bouquet of dark wild cherries, graphite, violets and spices. Flowing and round on the palate, very juicy, the French oak adds volume and fullness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark purple in the glass. Dried red fruits, floral notes such as jasmine blossom and rose petals, also black smoked tea, with air also black cherry. Present on the palate with red fruit, again tea leaves, a hint of bitter almond. Tannins present but well woven, acidity that supports the body and gives it strength. Has bite and a lot of class." Vinum

"Dark, bright ruby red colour, lightening rim. Appealing nose of fine precious wood, cold smoke, ripe cherry fruit and ripe wild berries on the finish. Great compactness on the palate, acidity and fruit are in their place, powerful, balanced, accessible." Falstaff

"The Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori 2021 is developing into a gem of a wine, even if it is still a little closed at the moment. Dark fruits, spices, leather and tobacco are layered in a Riserva that exudes tension, energy and sheer power." Vinous

"It is a Sangiovese kissed with small proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine is accessible and open, spiritually this wine is a Chianti Classico. By this I mean that the elegant minerality of these soils and the sunny flavours of the surroundings are the defining characteristics. You can taste wild flowers, iris, tart fruit and plums. The pronounced mineral character of the wine with dusty white rock gives it lasting complexity and depth." Wine Advocate

"This ripe style is fresh and harmonious, with fruit of plums, cherries and boysenberries, with accents of earth, iron and eucalyptus. Smooth in texture, with a beautifully integrated structure and a long, complex aftertaste." Wine Spectator
