Unlitro di Ampeleia (1 Liters) expresses the vitality of the estate's youngest vineyards in a remarkable way. Notes of fresh berries and citrus fruits. Velvety soft on the palate, fresh, dynamic and enormously drinkable. A cheerful, lively wine that is also Demeter-certified. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Unlitro is fresh, aromatic and vibrant, all of which make it a delight to taste. Crushed flowers, herbs, mint, orange peel, spice and leather are all nicely lifted in this mid-weight red. A whole range of savory and floral overtones lift the finish." Vinous

A zesty white wine with energetic, maritime flavours of citrus, lime and oyster shell. Focussed and long on the palate. The Grillo grape is a cross between Moscato and Catarratto, which explains the variety of aromatic sweetness and mineral finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Grillo SurSur opens with a burst of grapefruit and lime zest complicated by a whiff of savory herbs. This is highly energetic, with a zesty core of acidity and gingery spices propelled by juicy acidity. The SurSur finishes with medium length and a sour citrus resonance, resetting the palate for another tension-filled sip." Vinous

"A vivid, succulent style, this red delivers strawberry, cherry, earth and mineral flavors, with a hint of underbrush. This balanced version builds nicely to the finish." Wine Spectator

Light stalk yellow with green reflections. Delicate floral and fruity notes on the nose, fresh citrus hints. Balanced on the palate, its good acidity and noticeable minerality give it the necessary juiciness and freshness that does not deny its proximity to the west Tuscan coast. A sophisticated, multi-layered wine full of salty minerality that can take on not only shellfish but also Mediterranean veal dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Barbera Sovrana is a fruity, full-bodied and very appealing wine with a deep ruby colour and a powerful nose of ripe cherries and earthy tones. The palate is balanced and of medium length with silky tannins and fresh acid wire. SUPERIORE.DE

The white wines from La Monacesca are among the most exciting Verdicchio in the DOC region, with freshness and race in the glass. Clear, fruity, mineral, round and long. Typical varietal character and loyalty to the terroir, paired with depth and length, good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Baccanera is an aromatic Piedmontese cuvée made from Barbera, Merlot, Nebbiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Noble, dark garnet colour with a delicately brightening rim.

"A juicy and racy red with notes of crushed berries, dried orange peel and hints of crushed stones, seashells and spice box on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and structured, yet shows a core of succulent fruit in the middle. I like the concentration and length. Solid and focused." James Suckling
