Redimore is an intense and outstanding Aglianico from genuine Prephylloxera clones from a single vineyard, which combines richness and harmony in the most beautiful way. Flavours of dried fruit, leather, tobacco and spices are perfectly interwoven with fruit, acidity and tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"A warm, inviting bouquet with flavours of cherries, currants, blackberries, chocolate and wild herbs. On the palate, a wave of blood orange brings out the acidity of the fruit before an earthy finish emphasises the herbaceous element. The tannins are chalky yet inviting, while the acidity is invigorating." Wine Enthusiast

"The Aglianico Redimore 2021 is youthfully intense, its bouquet is characterised by crushed raspberries, autumnal spices, sage and rose petals. It is juicy and round with a core of tart forest fruits that keep the balance. Saline mineral tones give the wine a tactile note towards the end. The finish is long and lightly textured, with hints of liquorice and sour citrus tickling the tongue." Vinous

The Barbera d'Alba Piani is pleasantly fresh and complex. A remarkable concentration in its aroma of dark fruits and sweet flavours of toasted oak. The palate is full, full-bodied, silky-textured tannins and harmonious all round. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Barbera d'Alba Piani is dark, plummy and super-expressive. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, leather, tobacco, incense and white pepper all meld together in this juicy, wonderfully inviting Barbera from Giorgio Pelissero. This is such a gorgeous wine." Vinous

Bright ruby red colour, open-hearted notes of cherry, raspberry and violet, paired with green pepper and cloves. Delicate on the palate, with a nice tang. Delicate, fine tannins, vivaciously supported by a fresh acidity structure with subtle extract sweetness, round off this incredibly authentic and juicy Tuscan experience. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Chianti Classico is a fine entry-level offering from San Felice. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, new leather and a kick of orange peel all grace this soft, open-knit red. Drink it over the next few years." Vinous

"A cool earthiness defines the nose, with aromas of flint, wild herbs and tart blackberries, and then umami notes of mushroom and balsamic. The palate brings cherries and more berries, but dusty, chewy tannins and notable acid emphasize that flinty earthiness, which continues to anchor the wine." Wine Enthusiast

High-quality Trebbiano Superiore with structure and a beautiful correspondence between aroma and flavour. Convincing with fresh, spicy to sweet flavours and a crisp, fresh finish, this organically produced white wine is a joy to drink! SUPERIORE.DE

"Lush, bright gold colour. A nose of squeezed lemon and lemon pieces as well as fresh pineapple, reminiscent of fresh resin, plus sea salt and rosemary. Juicy on the palate, with pronounced fruit and well-integrated acidity, savoury, spans a beautiful arc, also slightly floral in the middle section, dry, slightly phenolic finish." Falstaff

"A dusting of autumnal spice, raw almonds and musky dried apricots create an inviting bouquet as the 2021 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Riserva Spelt opens in the glass. There's a pretty inner sweetness up front complicated by saline minerals and tart orchard fruits. This finishes crisp and with admirable length, leaving tropical inner florals." Vinous

"An impressive Trebbiano, also from organic cultivation. Yellow plum on the nose, with a hint of wild sage and hawthorn, crisp and salty on the finish, with balsamic and fruity notes, a clear snapshot of the area's great potential." Luca Gardini

Dark ruby red colour. Dense bouquet of blackcurrant flavours, cocoa and a floral note of mild herbs. Full-bodied and fruity on the palate. The well-balanced components make the wine appear like velvet and silk. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sweetly enticing, the 2022 Cannonau di Sardegna Sincaru opens with a seductive blend of blueberries, cream, cola and violet pastille. It’s soft and enveloping with juicy acidity contrasted with tart red and blue fruits. This finishes crunchy in feel, leaving a coating of tarry blackberry to mingle with silty tannins through the long and lightly structured finale." Vinous

A genuine Lambrusco cru from the 15-hectare "Vigna del Cristo" vineyard, which underwent a second fermentation using the Charmat method for 3 months in pressurised tanks. Salmon pink in colour. Smells of pink grapefruit and subtle hints of raspberries. Bold, fresh, lively and dry on the palate - perfect for fans of "zero dosage". Very fine perlage that lasts a long time. Lingers for a long time with fine tart fruit. Ideal as an aperitif, with mussels, oysters and cold fish starters. SUPERIORE.DE

"The wine is characterised by a remarkably bright colour and vibrant notes of candied fruit, particularly strawberries and cranberries. On the palate, these flavours develop into a refreshing blend of lemon and raspberry notes, culminating in a bright and tangy finish." Wine Enthusiast

"A whiff of ground ginger gives way to freshly sliced pears, white cherries and hints of sweet smoke as the 2023 Lambrusco di Sorbara Leclisse slowly evolves in the glass. This wine is elegant upon entry, with a stern mineral core that adds contrast as silken bubbles carry notes of ripe melon and peach across the palate. The Leclisse cleans up beautifully, floral and perfumed yet classically dry with a slightly salty tinge that resonates." Vinous

The sparkling classic from Italy's leading Prosecco winery is now certified organic. Radiant in the glass, with the scent of white flowers and fruit, extremely fine and elegant in flavour. Clean, delicate finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, youthful green-yellow colour. On the nose, baby banana, pear and a hint of lime, with fine grapey notes. Elegant tension and creamy fruit on the palate, savoury, the perlage is very well integrated, makes the tongue click, harmonious in approach and finish." Falstaff

"The NV Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore opens with a perfumed blend of sweet wildflowers, spice, hints of crushed stone and freshly sliced apples.

Medium in length yet remarkably fresh, it cleans up beautifully with nuances of green melon that add a lovely mouth-watering quality." Vinous

"It is somewhat sharper and firmer, with notes of wild fennel, alpine mint and geranium. Frothy, alpine-like, long and incredibly refined." James Suckling

Seductive cuvée of Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Sweet violets, lavender and cloves with black raspberries in the glass.

"A sleek, elegant red, finely knit and harmonious, with a bright thread of citrus peel acidity and a fragrant skein of ground spices and incense winding through flavors of raspberry ganache and plumped cherry fruit. Reveals hints of loamy earth and wild sage, which add a savory edge that lingers on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Dusty dried violets and lavender give way to citrus-tinged blackberries as the remarkably pretty 2021 Montessu blossoms in the glass. This is a soft and savory effort with a core of dark red fruits and salty mineral tones that slowly saturate. The 2021 finishes impressively long and staining, leaving grippy tannins that tug at the cheeks as hints of licorice fade. The Montessu is typically intended for early consumption, yet I’d recommend further cellaring to let all the pieces come together." Vinous

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

Misco, the estate's second top white product and a Verdicchio matured in stainless steel, exudes an elegant bouquet of floral and aniseed notes. On the palate, it is a magnificent interplay of juice and vigour, spicy tension, fresh citrus notes and aromatic firmness. It is one of the best in its denomination every year. SUPERIORE.DE

The 2022 finishes crisp and concentrated, leaving a hint of minerality and herbs." Vinous

Valpolicella Superiore Case Vecie is made mainly from Corvina and Corvinone grapes. It takes its name from the vineyard of the same name in Grezzana, where the ripening of the grapes is subject to strong temperature fluctuations between day and night: a climatic peculiarity that gives the wine a special spiciness on the nose and a completely unique polyphenol profile. Bright ruby red in colour with notes of cherries, vanilla and spices. Beautiful fruit and acidity on the palate, wonderfully balanced body. Juicy and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium carmine red colour. A little Amarone-like with dried dark cherries, as if it had walked over the skins of Amarone. A hint of dried fruit. Peppery and with a hint of oak. No doubt, we are in Valpolicella. Smooth and generous without being heavy. Such a pleasant wine." Jancis Robinson

"The Valpolicella Superiore Case Vecie 2021 is particularly floral and airy, with a lively bouquet of dusty roses, dried strawberries and a hint of sour orange. It is a paragon of purity, with crisp red berry fruit and tactile mineral notes accompanied by juicy acidity. The 2021 finishes incredibly fresh, revealing a pleasant, crisp tannin as the tart cherry notes slowly fade away. The Valpolicella Superiore Case Vecie from a single vineyard is simply stunning and is produced without the appassimento process." Vinous

"This producer is one of the best of the region, opting for a more traditional approach. This ups the ante. Exotic notes of orange peel, cloves, tamarind, cardamom and sweet red currants, with some hints of partially dehydrated grapes. Good, sappy length." James Suckling

"This Valpolicella rises from the glass with fresh aromas of wild cherries and red plums that give way to violets, rosemary and fresh earth. The palate is bright with ripe red berries, allspice, vanilla, black tea and sweet and savoury spices, finishing with an electric acidity that refreshes the palate after every sip." Wine Enthusiast

Here is one of the most beautiful interpretations of the white Carricante grape variety, matured for six months on the fine lees.

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

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

"Bright ruby red colour. Nose of graphite, ripe cherries, wild berries, a hint of dried rose petal and rubber. Clear on the palate, with clear fruit and beautiful juiciness, shows compact tannins, drinks even better slightly chilled." Falstaff

"The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Spelt is dark and earthy in the glass, with undergrowth and crushed stones giving way to black cherries and spice. This is round and silky in feel, with ripe wild berry fruits and spices that cascade throughout. Plum and medicinal blackberry linger as the 2020 tapers off long, lightly structured, yet relatively fresh. Well done." Vinous

"Very cedary on the nose at first, so give it a swirl to allow the rich red fruit and floral notes to give you a proper introduction to this full-bodied and solid red. The cedary element is present throughout, but there’s plenty of fruit to counter it. Firm tannins kick in midway and give some astringency to finish, which will smoothen with some more time in bottle." James Suckling

Primo Franco is an elegant, very exquisite vintage Prosecco Superiore from the heart of the DOCG wine-growing region. Fine perlage in a clear straw yellow colour, with a very pleasant aroma of pear and sand biscuits, it literally melts on the tongue with its fine, subtle fruit sweetness and freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

The wine resonates on the palate while remaining perfectly fresh, as perfumed inner florals combine with sweet melon and a hint of chlorophyll. Totally unique and worth hunting down." Vinous

Refined and polished, this is a gorgeous Cerasuolo that reflects the beauty of the style. The 2023 has what it takes to improve with bottle age, as evidenced by an extremely fine structure and fine tannins that are still hidden behind the pure fruit concentration at the moment. Marvellous." Vinous

"A focused, tactile and delicious Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo with notes of redcurrants, forest berries and fresh raspberries. Medium-bodied with a well-driven, lively center-palate and a flavorful finish with excellent length." James Suckling

Bright ruby red colour. Fresh and fragrant of violets and rose petals. Fresh, aromatic berry fruit on the palate, very supple tannins, with a lot of fruit and grace on the finish. Very racy and cheerful at the same time. SUPERIORE.DE
