“Morei” Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2022 (BIO)
The Teroldego from Foradori are all a great experience. Elisabetta makes extremely interesting wines from the autochthonous grape variety from the foot of the Dolomites. And they are purely organic and partly also in amphorae.
Morei (dark in the Trentino dialect) is an original red wine that is true to its terroir and yet irresistibly elegant and refined. Warm, dense and mineral like the soil on which it grows. Morei is protected from cold northerly winds by the nearby, abruptly rising rock faces. The rock stores heat during the day, which radiates to the vineyard at night. The soil here is very stony and therefore relatively warm, dense, dark and mineralised, just like the Morei Teroldego wine of the same name. The average age of the vines (30 years) also contributes to its depth of character. SUPERIORE.DE
"There's an accessible feel to this open-knit, medium- to full-bodied red, showing good integration of the racy acidity and sinewy tannins with flavors of pureed blackberry, dried mint and black tea leaf, singed orange peel and milled white pepper. Enjoy this today or with short-term cellaring." Wine Spectator
"A beguiling blend of black raspberries, exotic spices, leather straps, cocoa and crushed stones makes the 2022 Teroldego Morei impossible to ignore. It's juicy and fresh, with a fine structure, crisp wild berries and zesty acidity that keeps the energy remarkably high. Tactile mineral tones add a pleasing crunch, while notes of white pepper and pomegranate linger over a bed of gently grippy tannins. The Morei 2022 seems more immediate than previous vintages, but its balance cannot be denied. The purity alone is fascinating." Vinous
"Purple red in the glass. Lively fruit on the nose, with bright raspberry and blackcurrant flavours, wrapped in aromatic herbs. The palate reveals crisp, integrated acidity and lightly framed tannins. Delicious and so fresh. Made from organically and biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification." James Suckling

“Sommet” Nebbiolo Valle d’Aosta DOP 2019
Sommet means peak, i.e. the view of the mountains behind the vineyards. The Nebbiolo biotype, which is found in the southern alluvial valley of glacial origin, brings the winery back to the origins of viticulture in the Aosta Valley. Sommet was born from the desire to vinify and enhance a traditional grape variety. The result is a wine of great character and cool sophistication, a precise interpretation of the grape variety under the strong influence of the pre-alpine terroir.
Bright ruby red colour. Blackberry, cherry and balsamic notes on the nose. Juicy, precise and flavoursome on the palate, with a long finish that expresses the freshness and cool elegance of this exceptional region. Just 3,300 bottles are bottled each year. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant ruby red with a subtly brightening rim. Perfumed nose of violets and lavender, then dark berry fruit, mint, stony hints on the finish. Polished on the palate, with tight, elegant tannins, very juicy, slightly salty, some peach, great ripeness, bright drinking pleasure." Falstaff
"A compact red, with cherry and strawberry fruit mingling with mint and stony mineral flavors. Despite the powdery tannins, this persists on the finish." Wine Spectator

“Vigna Crivelli” Chardonnay Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2021
This characterful wine comes from grapes grown in the top Crivelli vineyard on calcareous, gravelly-sandy soils. The favourable microclimate with high temperature fluctuations between day and night and strong down winds from the Fennberg influence the character of this crus. In addition, a daily wind from the south ensures good aeration of the berries and ideal sunshine promises the grapes of this elegant grape variety excellent quality.
Crivelli matures in small wooden barrels for 12 months on the lees, which gives it elegance and complexity. Golden yellow in the glass, fruity bouquet of tropical fruits with a hint of vanilla, strong, balanced and slightly salty flavour. A great Chardonnay with a pleasant fullness and impressive length. SUPERIORE.DE
"Light golden yellow in colour. Intense nose, butter and vanilla with ripe apple stand out, followed by melon, banana and pineapple. Juicy and full-bodied on the palate, wood again in the foreground, nut butter, light roasted almond, lots of substance, juicy and persistent." Falstaff
"Still restrained, but promising. Floral notes, a hint of salty minerality. Very animating. Subtle, perfectly integrated spicy notes. Balanced despite its youthfulness. Gripping on the palate, beautifully dry, with great finesse and vigour." Vinum
"Toasted hazelnuts and smoked almonds on the nose, with pineapple, salted butter and apricot kernels. Creamy and toasty, with a full body and layers of buttery goodness. Drink or keep." James Suckling
"Aromas of Canary melon, yellow peach and lemon curd are interwoven with an array of toasty flavours of chopped hazelnut, vanilla and spice. Framed by a fine, firm acidity, this graceful, medium to full-bodied white wine is slightly chalky in texture, with a lingering, fragrant finish with floral, mountain herb and mineral accents." Wine Spectator
"The Chardonnay Riserva Vigna Crivelli 2021 blossoms with a rich blend of crushed almonds, sage and baked apple. It caresses the palate with cooling acidity and soft texture, evoking ripe fruit trees and sweet spices. It finishes grippy and full of youthful tension with vanilla custard and notes of candied citrus." Vinous
"Opulent and concentrated aromas of papaya, mango and melon on the nose; white spices, vanilla and crisp apple on the palate." Decanter

“TRE” Rosso Toscana IGT 2022 (BIO) · MAGNUM
The name TRE stands for its three grape varieties Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as for its three Tuscan vineyards Maremma, Castellina and Radda in Chianti. TRE is a wine full of character that offers great drinking pleasure from an early age. Bright, medium ruby red colour. Fruity bouquet with spicy nuances, blackberry and sour cherries. The flavour is dense, powerful and soft at the same time. Wonderfully aromatic wine with the finest tannins and an elegant finish. Almost unbeatable value! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Tre is a good entry-level wine. This blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon offers a wonderful freshness and just enough seriousness to be a perfect dinner companion. The finish is brightened by floral notes. This medium-bodied wine comes from the Brancaia Chianti Classico and Maremma vineyards." Vinous
"Flavors of cherry, strawberry, sanguine, iron and Mediterranean scrub are supported by a solid structure in this red, which is balanced overall, with dusty tannins and a resonant finish." Wine Spectator
"This wine is bright and flavoursome with vibrant red fruits, dried lavender, orange peel and a hint of crushed rocks on the nose. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and dusty texture from the tannins. Crisp and lively with a peppery aftertaste." James Suckling

“Cassiano” Rosso Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2021 (BIO)
"The art of composition. Six great red varieties from our best vineyards play together subtly in this wine: Character and individuality paired with festivity and elegance." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor
Rich, dark garnet colour with a delicately brightening rim. Elegant cuvée that exudes a dense and promising bouquet of cassis, rose petals and black cherries. Medium-bodied and well-proportioned on the palate, elegant, complex and impressively long on the finish with flavours of dark red fruits and spices. SUPERIORE.DE
"Intense ruby red with purple edges. Fresh, inviting aroma of ripe cherries, raspberries, fresh herbs and tobacco. Balanced acidity, fine tannins and a fruity, long-lasting finish on the palate." Falstaff
"Notes of ripe mulberry and blackberry paste are threaded with a fragrant skein of thyme, violet, anise, paprika and milled pepper accents in this supple, medium-bodied red. Focused and creamy on the palate, integrating fine, sculpted tannins and dark, juicy acidity." Wine Spectator
"Dried berries and orange peel with mountain flavours and aromas of tree bark follow through to a full body, with layered tannins and a juicy finish. Beautiful presence and juiciness." James Suckling

“Mason” Pinot Nero Alto Adige DOC 2021 (BIO)
"Four hectares are planted with Pinot Nero in this unique location: a south-facing high plateau, constantly exposed to the wind, ideal for the narrow-berried Pinot grapes." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor
Rich ruby red, ripe fruit flavours with fresh mineral spice reveal the complexity of a great Pinot Noir. Juicy, yet velvety, fine-grained tannins and perfect structure on the palate, balanced and harmonious on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, medium ruby colour with a narrow rim. Medium intensity on the nose, sour cherry, wild berries, marzipan, a hint of cedar. In the mouth with creamy fruit, fine tannins, great freshness and a persistent finish." Falstaff
"A vibrant red, with a bright spiciness in the concentrated flavours of raspberry puree, blood orange peel, chopped thyme and rosemary. Along with hints of loamy earth and spice, this light to medium-bodied version offers light, chalky tannins that provide crisp definition on the finish." Wine Spectator
"The 2021 Mason Pinot Noir is dusty and floral, with rose tones and dried strawberries forming its delicate bouquet. It is round with juicy acidity and fresh red and blue fruits. The 2021 is energetic and fresh from start to finish, ending with soft tannins and a hint of raspberry and liquorice." Vinous
"Mason comes from the four-hectare, south-facing Mazzon vineyard at an altitude of 400-450 metres. This Pinot has quite a woody profile, imbued with vibrant, juicy cherry and floral aromas and a concentrated core of pure raspberry and pomegranate flavours. On the palate, it is carried by supple, almost invisible tannins, with woody notes and sweet spice on the fresh, juicy finish." Decanter
"Aromas of roses, cranberries and violets follow through to a medium body, with polished tannins and a brightness and freshness. Fine tannins and polish." James Suckling

“Barrua” Isola dei Nuraghi IGT 2020
Great, beautiful and evolving wine, expansive and enveloping on the nose, with plant and vanilla notes on the palate, long and with a fine texture. A wine that is in no way inferior to the great international vintages, yet retains its Sardinian originality. SUPERIORE.DE
"Ripe dark berries, dried flowers and spices on the nose. Rich and concentrated, with a full body and creamy, supple tannins. Broad and mouth-filling with a juicy finish." James Suckling
"A fragrant version, with hints of bay leaf, ground coffee, vanilla and woodsy spices, this fresh red offers a pure, dark core of black currant and black raspberry fruit. Shows minerally accents of iron and smoke. Structured but well-knit and not overly weighty, with a touch of chewy tannins firming the lasting finish." Wine Spectator

Barbaresco “Nubiola” DOCG 2019
Sparkling ruby colour. Expressive, very fragrant bouquet of red stone fruit, wild berries, mint and leather. Juicy, clear attack with well-proportioned tannins. Wonderfully long finish with ripe berries and spices. SUPERIORE.DE
"A taut, lightly sinewy red informed by a mix of cherry, plum, eucalyptus and tobacco flavors. For now, the balance tips toward the grainy tannins, yet this offers a lasting impression of fruit and savoriness." Wine Spectator
"The Barbaresco Nubiola 2019 is quite a high-flyer in this year's Pelissero range. Aromatically intense and also quite deep, the Nubiola impresses with its balance. The blend of different vineyard sites was clearly an advantage. Bright red fruit, cedar wood, tobacco, orange peel and pomegranate give it a remarkable complexity. Give the tannins a few more years to soften." Vinous

Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Querciabella's Riserva, with an annual production of 10,000 bottles, is a selection of the best lots. It blends fruit from Greve, where the vineyards lie between 350 and 550 metres above sea level, with grapes from the stony high altitudes of Radda and the chalky soils of Gaiole. Tantalising aromas of spring flowers, cranberries and potting soil are accompanied by vanilla and smoke. On the palate, it is polished and pure, with a delicious, tangy acidity and sinewy tannins. As every year, one of the most refined wines of the appellation. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby colour with a dark core. Elegant on the nose with notes of hibiscus, juniper berries, plus some saddle leather and undergrowth. Precise on the palate, fine tannins and fresh acidity, with pleasant pressure towards the lingering finish." Falstaff
"The Chianti Classico Riserva 2020, which has just been bottled, is still a little restrained. Crushed red flowers, mint, white pepper, aniseed and orange peel give the 2020 a beautiful aromatic brilliance that matches its medium-bodied personality. We find a Riserva of linear intensity and power, more than volume. The vineyard sites are Greve, Lamole and Radda." Vinous
"The Querciabella Riserva is a selection of the estate's best parcels. The bottling of the 2020 vintage shows the generosity and grace of the vintage. Attractive pressed flowers, plums and red berries intertwine with subtle wood smoke. Garden herbs and tangerines emerge on the palate. The tannins are assertive yet supple and sweet, culminating in a chalky grip. This invigorating and bright wine is already very enticing - but there is much more to discover." Decanter
"Aromas and flavours of cherries, raspberries, rosehips and black pepper characterise this bright red wine. It is light on its feet, but a hint of nubby tannins coats the finish. A hint of bitter almond lingers on the finish, along with fruit and spice flavours. It shows good balance and length." Wine Spectator
"Crisp and vibrant red berries with dried flowers, savoury herbs, cedar and spice box. Medium-bodied with fine, powdery tannins and lively acidity. Fresh and concentrated with a linear finish. Crisp with a mineral backbone." James Suckling

Barbaresco DOCG 2021
"For us, it is important that a good Barbaresco fully expresses its characteristics: elegance, finesse and harmony. The 2020 vintage has given us a complete wine that is very fascinating and has excellent ageing potential. Although it is drinkable now, we recommend storing a few bottles to observe its development. We are excited to see how it will develop over the coming years." Franco Massolino
The grapes for Massolino's Barbaresco come from the Starderi, Albesani and Serraboella vineyards. Medium garnet red in colour with rust-red highlights. A charming bouquet of bright red fruit, rose petals and violets. Rather delicate on the palate, with an elegance and finesse that is completely convincing even at a young age. As it progresses, it reveals a seductive fruit centre, fine tannins and a well-proportioned acidity structure that open up a great future for it. Very well made! SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, light garnet red colour. Delicate, restrained nose of small red fruits and sour cherry, with a leather and light undergrowth aftertaste. Retronasal clearly redcurrant, elegant palate with fine-grained tannins, good drinking flow, needs some air and should be decanted." Falstaff
"Brilliant medium carmine red colour. Dark cherry, which becomes mineral and salty with air. Loosened up and a little balsamic with a hint of liquorice. Fresh cherry and raspberry flavours with grippy tannins." Jancis Robinson
"Aromas of herbs, twigs and savoury spices intertwine with macerating red berries and a hint of mushrooms. Beautifully firm tannins frame fresh red berry flavours bursting with vitality, while sweet spices accompany the palate through to an elegant finish." Wine Enthusiast
"A floral nose with aromas of red cranberries. Lots of juicy red and black fruit on the palate, powerful and firmly structured, full with tannins and bright acidity." Decanter
"Bright aromas of cinnamon and earthy strawberries with violets and dried cherries. Powerful, with pronounced acidity, dusty but ripe tannins and ripe fruit on the finish. An accessible Barbaresco that will also age well." James Suckling
"The 2021 Barbaresco is a blend from parcels in Albesani, Serraboella and Starderi. Graceful and nuanced, the 2021 offers notes of crushed flowers, orange peel, mint, sweet red berries and spices. The harvestwill find a Barbaresco in a class of its own. Outstanding flavours, a medium-weight structure and persistent but fine tannins give the wine its shape. This is wonderfully made." Vinous
"Aromas and flavours of cherry, strawberry, rose, hay and white pepper combine with a firm structure and lively acidity in this expressive, complex red wine, which is harmonious and long in the fruity and spicy finish." Wine Spectator

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 (BIO)
The Brunello di Montalcino 2018 from controlled organic cultivation shows its graceful and delicate side, with wild cherries, blue flowers and warm earthiness. On the palate, the wine is silky and supple, with a hint of crushed minerals and limestone. The fresh acidity makes for a long but wonderfully elegant finish. The final is surprisingly fresh, almost juicy, with a subtle tug of youthful tannins and a hint of liquorice that slowly fades. Not a powerhouse, but a beautifully balanced Brunello of the vintage. SUPERIORE.DE
"It delivers cherry and strawberry fruit layered with earth and spice, supported by compact, vibrant tannins. This red has calmed down with aeration but still needs time to integrate as it still leans towards the dry side in balance." Wine Spectator
"A soft and refined Brunello from 2018 with creamy tannins and a flattering texture. It is medium-bodied with beautiful fruit and a fresh finish. Crushed mussels at the end." James Suckling
"The nose is predominantly earthy, mineral and stony, but a powerful herbaceousness and delicate, just-ripe cherries provide balance. On the palate, fruit goes on the offensive against a persistent earthiness that's empowered by chalky tannins and buzzy acid." Wine Enthusiast
"The Poggio Landi 2018 Brunello di Montalcino from organic farming manages to emphasise the bright fruit, which is not always the case with other wines, especially in this difficult vintage. Red cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant are at the centre of this wine. These tones are framed by light spice, pressed rose and candied orange peel. This wine stands out from the crowd thanks to its lively primary intensity and transparent Sangiovese characteristics. The finish is lean and streamlined." Wine Advocate

“Grifi” Rosso Toscana IGT 2020 (BIO)
The combination of two such different personalities as Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blend brilliantly in Grifi, giving this wine a unique character. The Cabernet gives the wine an extra kick of depth in the mid-palate as well as a tannic backbone that gives the wine plenty of persistence and energy.
Dark ruby red with violet reflections. The nose opens with hints of blueberries, blackberries and incense through to sandalwood and graphite. Dense and complex on the palate with hints of blackberry jam and cinnamon. On the palate, it develops like a balsamic explosion, supported by good acidity. The lively tannin accompanies the savoury and persistent, very linear finish. Grifi is a wonderfully sophisticated and elegant pleasure from the best vineyards around Montepulciano and Cortona. SUPERIORE.DE
"An elegant red, featuring a gleam of pure cherry, currant and strawberry fruit. This is also intense and firmly built, with a layer of dense tannins guarding the finish. Excellent length." Wine Spectator
"Excellent purity and ripeness in the fruit-accentuated nose, but also a certain complexity. Some violets, graphite and spices to the fresh blue fruits and slate. On the palate, I like the texture with fresh, fine-grained tannins and a cool finish. Long, fresh and juicy." James Suckling

“Vigna Istine” Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Since the 2012 vintage, a small and strictly selected part of the Sangiovese at Istine has been vinified separately according to the origin of the vineyard in order to emphasise and bring to life the specific characteristics of the site, the soil and the altitude. Since then, the best grapes from the estate's own vineyards Istine, Casanova dell'Aia and Cavarchione have been vinified separately, resulting in three now highly sought-after cru wines, of which just 3,000 bottles are sold in specialised shops and restaurants every year.
Vigna Istine is marvellous. Dark cherry, spices, leather and tobacco unfold in the glass. An incredibly creamy personality and breadth on the palate. With its flavour profile of lavender, spices, leather, menthol and liquorice, Vigna Istine has an indescribable richness of facets. The high-altitude vineyard, planted between 480 and 550 metres above sea level, provides freshness, aromatic intensity, mineral notes and exciting ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"This red is infused with fresh cherry, strawberry, rose hip and iron flavors aligned to a streamlined profile. Subtle, yet persists on the finish, delivering harmony and the potential to evolve another decade, maybe two." Wine Spectator
"The Chianti Classico Vigna Istine 2020 is a wine with understatement and class. The translucent finesse of the Radda comes through loud and clear. Crushed stones, mint, chalk and white pepper add a striking, brilliant note. The 2020 is simply magnificent." Vinous

“Vigna Kolbenhof” Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC 2021
Intoxicating flavours of yellow fruits, pineapple, nutmeg and the faint memory of clove. An almost magical, bright sweetness on the palate, very complex and long. A great and extremely exciting Gewürztraminer from the registered single vineyard Vigna Kolbenhof. SUPERIORE.DE
"This fragrant version shows notes of rose petals and chai tea spices and is nicely cut by a strong acidity. It offers a broad mix of pink grapefruit granita, candied papaya, honeycomb and grated ginger, underscored by a hint of smoky minerality on the long, savoury finish." Wine Spectator
"The 2021 Gewurztraminer Vigna Kolbenhof blossoms with a rich blend of wildflowers, peaches and wet stone. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness perfectly contrasted by brilliant acidity as perfumed white pit fruits and minty herbal tones swirl throughout. The 2021 leaves the palate completely refreshed, leaving a salty flourish and hints of tropical citrus. It’s stunning today, yet it has the balance for a long evolution." Vinous

“Vigna Casanova dell’Aia” Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Since the 2012 vintage, a small and strictly selected part of the Sangiovese at Istine has been vinified separately according to the origin of the vineyard in order to emphasise and bring to life the specific characteristics of the site, the soil and the altitude. Since then, the best grapes from the estate's own vineyards Istine, Casanova dell'Aia and Cavarchione have been vinified separately, resulting in three now highly sought-after cru wines, of which just 3,000 bottles are sold in specialised shops and restaurants every year.
Vigna Casanova dell'Aia is airy, weightless and graceful in flavour. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, mint, chalk and white pepper rise from the glass in this very beautiful, incredibly nuanced Chianti Classico. Arguably the most ethereal wine in the high-class Istine collection, flavours of red berries and cherries are flanked by a fine, almost silky tannin on the palate and lead into an elegant, flowing finish with remarkable memorable potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"A succulent red highlighted by beautifully defined cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral aromas and flavors. Solidly built, suggesting this will develop further. Boasts excellent balance, with leafy underbrush and wild herb notes on the long finish." Wine Spectator
"The Chianti Classico 2020 Vigna Casanova dell'Aia shows a darker, richer side of the Sangiovese from Radda. Black cherry, sage, lavender, menthol, liquorice and tobacco blend together. The Casanova dell'Aia is a wine of great presence and real stature that is fabulous. It just needs time to mellow a little." Vinous
"The 2020 is as beautiful as it is precise. Pronounced raspberry, pomegranate and blood orange meld with floral scents of cherry blossom. It is characterised by a generosity of flavours, a graceful structure of powdery tannins and appetising acidity. A real citrus tone of pink grapefruit emphasises the palate, and the finish is even slightly salty." Decanter

“Vigna Cavarchione” Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Since the 2012 vintage, a small and strictly selected part of the Sangiovese at Istine has been vinified separately according to the origin of the vineyard in order to emphasise and bring to life the specific characteristics of the site, the soil and the altitude. Since then, the best grapes from the estate's own vineyards Istine, Casanova dell'Aia and Cavarchione have been vinified separately, resulting in three now highly sought-after cru wines, of which just 3,000 bottles are sold in specialised shops and restaurants every year.
Vigna Cavarchione from the single vineyard of the same name in Gaiole is powerful, juicy and creamy, as befits a wine from this part of the appellation. Overripe red cherry fruit, mint, dried flowers and spices blend together in a sensual, inviting Chianti Classico that is characterised by its richness and suppleness. This highly distinctive and terrific masterpiece finishes with a lovely lace of sweet raspberry contrasting with the sour cherry. SUPERIORE.DE
"Lush, yet with an edge of dusty tannins framing cherry, strawberry, rose and earth flavors. Shows strong grip on the finish, along with a beam of vibrant acidity and a lingering aftertaste of red fruit. Leans to the elegant side." Wine Spectator
"It is not lacking in ripeness, it is downright lush, but also juicy and light-footed. It smells of dark plum, damp earth, rosehip and violets. On the palate, it is rather red-fruity: sour cherry meets tamarind and bitter liquorice root. The fine-grained tannins are just as persistent as the piquant acidity. Absolutely flavourful." Decanter
"The 2020 Chianti Classico Vigna Cavarchione is stellar in 2020. Lush and rich, but with plenty of classic Istinism, the Cavarchione has the potential to be one of the wines of this very young vintage. All the elements come together effortlessly. Black cherry, plum, sage, lavender, liquorice and incense develop over time and fill out the layers beautifully. The complexity of this wine is simply incredible." Vinous

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018
Full, rich ruby red colour. Refined bouquet of raspberry, pomegranate and a hint of white pepper. Full-bodied and multi-layered on the palate with a very classic Sangiovese style, powerful, intense and yet very harmonious. With its noble tannin, it strides confidently into a long, fascinatingly deep finish. A classic and contrasting expression of the vintage with a little "more" of the texture and power that characterises the family winery from the Castelnuovo dell'Abate area. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sour and cooked cherries, oranges, milk chocolate and red licorice. Fruity and succulent with a medium to full body and creamy tannins. Ripe and velvety finish." James Suckling
"Sleek and focused, with a supple feel to the cherry, raspberry, hibiscus and chalky mineral flavors. Well-balanced, finishing with a crisp feel now that should stretch out nicely in time." Wine Spectator
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens like a spice box full of exotic treasures. Steeped cherries, crushed cranberries, violet pastille, spiced blood orange and dusty rose can all be found as it opens in the glass. It splashes across the palate, full of energy and juicy in style, with a seductive core of ripe wild berry fruits and inner florals. This doesn’t miss a beat, finishing amazingly fresh and vibrant, with nuances of blackberry and sour citrus framed by a subtle staining of fine tannins. Fanti really outdid themselves; the 2018 Brunello is a beauty." Vinous
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino immediately reminds you of the austerity and brawn inherent to this important category of wine. Brunello is released five years after the harvest precisely to allow complexity to develop in the bottle. That careful evolution has transpired nicely here. The wine shows dark plum and dried blackberry in a leading role, with spice, tar, tobacco and campfire ash at the back. The tannins are present but on the soft side, and the wine weighs in with medium-rich fruit weight." Wine Advocate

“Vorberg” Weißburgunder Riserva Alto Adige Terlano DOC 2021
The rare Riserva Vorberg from Pinot Bianco is open, elegant and expressive. Brilliant straw yellow in colour with light green tones. Generous bouquet with delicately nuanced flavours of peach, apricot and spices. Cool, deep and with all the advantages of the grape variety on the palate. A noble Pinot Blanc with plenty of persistence and potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright straw yellow, sparkling. Roasted hazelnuts and pine nuts on the nose, with fine resinous tones, then yellow fruit with hints of pear and sage on the finish. Hearty, pure, taut on the palate with racy acidity and well-integrated fruit, medium-bodied, round and fine on the finish." Falstaff
"Initially dominated by floral scents, camomile, jasmine, peach blossom. Then also quince, pear, candied pineapple, tart grapefruit. A melting palate, now clear fruit, juicy, spicy foundation, a little salty. Vertical style, focused in the centre of the mouth." Vinous
"An elegant, fine white wine with dense flavours of yellow plum, melon rind, chamomile and lemon wax. With a slightly chalky texture and mouth-watering acidity, it is long and supple, with grapefruit peel, ground pink pepper and mineral notes on the finish." Wine Spectator
"Restrained, with notes of white flowers and peach flavours, then to a palate of restrained oak, ripe melon and peach." Decanter
"The 2021 Pinot Bianco Riserva Vorberg is youthfully upright, with an airy mix of wild herbs and dried flowers that fade into young peaches and apricots. The palate is seamlessly silky and serene, almost oily, with a lively acidity to balance and a depth of ripe fruit and mineral tones to satiate. The balance is perfect, lightly tannic and full of tension with a lemony concentration that puckers the cheeks as minty herbal notes fade. Green apple notes add a crisp sensation towards the end. This fantastic interpretation of the Vorberg will thrive in a cool cellar." Vinous
"Vorberg is one of the world's great Pinot Blancs and opens with a fragrant aroma of ripe pear, green apple and a hint of almond. On the palate, it is lively with an interplay of citrus and stone fruit, carried by a refreshing acidity. The wine culminates in a structured finish that covers the whole range of cuisine." Wine Enthusiast
"Restrained apricot skins, fairly neutral yet stylish, but with a floral bouquet that opens up. The attack is full and impressively vibrant, almost electric, with filigree elegance and a silky, weighted palate. Long and polished. This is incredible. Drink now or cellar for more complexity." James Suckling

Limitation of 6 articles per customer“Via del Campo” Falanghina Irpinia DOC 2022
Pale straw yellow with golden reflections. Ripe herbal aromas, tonic, sweet lemon, grapefruit and apricot on the nose. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, with a delightful floral lift and energy that leads seamlessly into the long, complex finish with a savoury bite and pronounced minerality. A beautiful, distinctive single-vineyard Falanghina in a class of its own. SUPERIORE.DE
"This light- to medium-bodied white has a subtle, pleasing fleshiness to it, with mouthwatering acidity sculpting well-knit flavors of melon, persimmon, almond skin, verbena and fleur de sel. Delivers a light, honeyed overtone that lingers on the spiced finish." Wine Spectator
"Green melon, candied lime, freshly sliced Granny Smith apple and crushed stones form a captivating bouquet as the 2022 Falanghina Via del Campo comes to life in the glass. It is soft and supple, with a mineral note at the forefront, enhanced by vibrant acidity, while tart fruit and citrus keep the tension high. The 2022 finishes crisp and refreshing, yet remarkably long with a concentration of sour melon lingering around the cheeks. There is great potential here. The Via del Campo shows the best characteristics of this ripe vintage and a minerality that perfectly balances the expression." Vinous
"Clean floral aromas with notes of yellow peach and apple and a hint of almond. Medium-bodied with a salty freshness on the palate and a long finish with more lemon peel and zest dressing the firm, dry-mineral texture. A Falanghina of the highest calibre." James Suckling
"From the vineyard of the same name in Piana dei Greci, in Mirabella Eclano, partially vinified and fully matured in French oak barriques, this is a sophisticated, multi-layered and complex wine. White melon, a hint of lemon peel and sage on the nose, crisp and savoury mouthfeel, with a fruity finish." Luca Gardini
"A wine like this makes us appreciate a working grape like Falanghina anew. In the right hands, this indigenous grape variety with roots in antiquity can produce marvellous results with surprising nuance and elegance. This is what you get with the Quintodecimo 2022 Irpinia Falanghina Via del Campo. The wine shows a good texture and a slightly waxy note with hints of dried tropical fruit and grapefruit flavours coming from the grape skins. A third of the wine is aged in oak, which also contributes to the flavour and texture of this wine. On the scale of Falanghina wines, it shows much more fruit weight and depth." Wine Advocate

“Il Poggiale” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021
Vigna Il Poggiale, a full-bodied Riserva from the single vineyard of the same name, is an extroverted class wine. Dark fruit, flowers, smoke and liquorice in the complex, differentiated bouquet. The juicy flavour, interwoven with silky tannins, is admirably harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE
"Menthol, cherry, plum, iron and wild herb aromas and flavors are embedded in this supple, well-balanced red. Firm, refined tannins line the finish, where the fruit and macchia notes linger." Wine Spectator
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale 2021 is a dense, powerful offering from Castellare. Black cherry, liquorice, new leather, spices and dried flowers rise from the glass. These vines, which are more than 40 years old, produce a particularly muscular, virile Riserva." Vinous
"A concentrated, flavourful and structured red wine with notes of cherries, dark plums, dried oregano, roasted meat and baking spices. It is medium to full-bodied with plush tannins. Dense fruit core on the palate with serious character. Focused and flavourful, with a long, compact finish." James Suckling
"The nose begins with notes of wood, then laurel, tobacco and undergrowth. The mouthfeel is savoury, with a hint of fruity sensations and a return of notes of officinal and undergrowth." Luca Gardini

“Formula 1 Monza” Metodo Classico Trento DOC brut (Limited Edition) · in gift box
Ferrari on the podium after every Grand Prix is the dream of every Tifoso. This has actually been happening since 2021, but not quite in the way Ferrari fans had imagined. Since 2021, Formula 1 has no longer been spraying champagne, but the finest Trento DOC sparkling wine, and Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has signed a corresponding agreement with Gruppo Lunelli. For Ferrari, it is a return to Formula 1, as the family business founded in 1902 supplied the winning sparkling wine for the 1980 Italian GP in Imola.
Limited Formula 1 edition "Monza" of the fine traditional Brut from the Lunelli family, who work tirelessly on the authenticity of their Trentino Spumante. A wide range of aromas and the elegant flavour with its good structure offer first-class enjoyment, and not just on official Formula 1 race days! SUPERIORE.DE
"A hint of nuttiness that underlines the flavours of preserved lemon and pear. Redcurrant richness, creamy, rich and round, with an impressive mousse and tangy red apple bite. The well-formed and well-integrated bubbles give the wine a creamy texture that melds with the richness of the fruit. Sweet spices and nougat cream on the finish. Great stuff." Decanter
"The Brut Trento opens with a blend of dusty dried flowers, cardamom and freshly sliced pears. It fills the palate with a silky bead of fine bubbles and takes on a savoury to sweet sensation, while tactile mineral tones mingle with ripe fruit trees. It finishes with admirable length and candied citrus fruits that taper off remarkably fresh. I love the balance and complexity of this wine, especially for a non-vintage brut." Vinous
"A refined and expressive aperitif-style sparkling wine. On the palate, it is bright and lively, with a fine, lacy mousse that carries a delicious palette of pineapple, tangerine peel and white cherry fruit, accented by ground ginger, white flowers and fleur de sel." Wine Spectator
"The nose is a tantalizing medley of crisp green apples, zesty lemon, and a hint of toasty brioche. On the palate, a lively chorus of citrus fruits and white peaches harmonizes with a subtle undercurrent of minerality. The bubbles are so fine and persistent, they'll make your taste buds dance with joy. The finish is refreshing and clean, leaving you craving another sip." Wine Enthusiast

The grapes for Istine's cult Riserva come exclusively from the estate's own vineyards Istine (Radda), Casanova dell'Aia (Radda) and Cavarchione (Gaiole). Only 4,000 bottles of this breathtaking wine, which matures for 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, are bottled each year.
Rich, bright ruby red with a sparkling centre. The bouquet is complex with aristocratic restraint. Compact and freshly fruity nose of rich cherries and ripe raspberries, with amarena cherries and notes of tobacco in the background. Medium-bodied on the palate, but with infinite, captivating depth that awaits discovery. Spreads out beautifully in the body, appears downright juicy and fruit-emphasised and continues to open up towards its terrific finalwith crunchy cherries and a refined saline vein. Purists will love its linear and unmistakable Sangiovese character. SUPERIORE.DE
"A vertical and lively wine that offers everything from fresh fruit with mineral flavour, power and fine acidity to elegance and a round finish." Weinwisser
"Austere, this red features tar, iron and wild herb notes swirling around a core of black cherry and blackberry fruit. Linear in profile, with bracing acidity and firm yet refined tannins." Wine Spectator
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Levigne 2019 is a powerful, dense wine. As always, the Riserva is the most concentrated and strongest of the Chianti Classicos. It is certainly a great Riserva." Vinous
"From the vineyards of Istine and Casanova dell'Aia, a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes for the Fronti family's flagship product. Notes of cranberry on the nose, then nutmeg and hints of pepper leaf. On the palate, savoury, salty tannins, fruity and noble notes and beautiful length on the palate." Luca Gardini

“Montebuoni” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020
Normally, the Sangiovese grapes from the 14-hectare single vineyard are mainly harvested in Ama and San Lorenzo. Since the 2018 harvest, Lorenza and Marco have decided to vinify a small quantity separately - and here comes the second vintage of the rare Riserva.
Deep, dark ruby red with violet reflections. Extroverted bouquet of brunberry, raspberry and redcurrant, with notes of crushed gravel, tobacco and traces of young leather. Very powerful and beautifully textured on the palate, the various layers of primary fruit only gradually unfold, the wood pleasantly receding into the background. Finely granulated tannins and a well-integrated acidity flank this very harmonious red on an elegant, long final. There is a lot to like here, for us it is once again a typical Ama wine: racy, powerful and elegant! SUPERIORE.DE
"Ripe, rich cherry fruit and hints of tobacco, elegant structure with fine tannins, medium-bodied, perfectly balanced. Accessible and charming in the best sense, cherry fruit flavours on the finish with a hint of dark chocolate. Benefits from further ageing in the bottle." Weinwisser
"Bright, medium ruby red with a brightening rim. Medium intensity on the nose, with notes of wild berries, undergrowth and a touch of white chocolate. Fresh on the palate, with clear fruit and firm tannins through to the juicy finish." Falstaff
"Brilliant, youthful ruby red colour. Concentrated nose with mineral and salty notes. Elegant, fresh raspberry, juicy and light in flavour. A beautiful wine and already easy to drink." Jancis Robinson
"High-toned and racy, with flavours of blackberries, plums, earth and hints of chocolate and spice. Although this red wine is light, it shows a fine intensity and a chalky sensation on the long finish." Wine Spectator
"Pretty violet, lavender and orange flavours repeat on the palate, where crisp acidity meets cherry skin and raspberry. A hint of smoky wood wafts unobtrusively, and soft, plush tannins cleanse the mouth. It finishes with a burst of spiced dark plums." Decanter
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Montebuoni 2020 offers a convincing blend of dark ama fruit mixed with a good dose of energy. Dark fruit, leather, spice, graphite and dried herbs are all well brought out. This is a particularly savoury, sometimes dark Riserva with a good amount of aromatic intensity and some tannin that needs time to resolve." Vinous
"Very beautiful flavours of flowers and fragrances as well as the classic cherry character of Sangiovese. Medium-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins and a finesse and concentration. Marvellous." James Suckling
