Golden yellow in colour with greenish reflections and the sweet aroma of fresh fruit. These wonderfully fruity flavours also come through on the palate, with a wonderful mousse and the typical fine nutmeg spice on the finish. Despite its sweetness, it feels like a light wine on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara is not only clearly ahead of the game with the famous Vernaccia di San Gimignano, the family winery also proves this with its Rosato Cremisi. A tantalising and captivating nose of dried orange peel, flowers, ginger and nectarine. Soft and supple on the palate, yet very dynamic and full of energy with citrus fruit, peppery herbs and green melon. The drinking flow is enormous, the salty tension combined with a subtle tangerine note provides plenty of fun, excitement and freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Rosato Cremisi is sinfully zesty and fresh with a burst of zesty lime and rosemary that segues into notes of candied green apples and Jordan almonds that are slightly more forgiving. It has a juicy, ripe fruit flavour that is underlined by a hint of tropical citrus and bracing acidity. A crackling, salty minerality gives the 2023 a remarkable freshness on the finish, allowing notes of sour melon and minty herbal notes to slowly fade away. It's almost impossible to stop with one sip." Vinous

"Here is a juicy and playful rosé with notes of frozen berries, herbs and melon. It’s medium-bodied with a fresh development on the palate. Good fruit character with a comforting finish." James Suckling

Rich and dense ruby red colour, open and accessible aroma with beautiful blackberry fruit and light tea notes in the background. The flavour is also beautifully fruity, reminiscent of ripe, dark cherries, followed by hearty tannins and a round finish. More classic Vino Nobile for this price is simply not possible. SUPERIORE.DE

"Exudes an aroma of black cherries, spices and vanilla; polished on the palate, the acidity and tannins in balance, notes of red berries and sandalwood in the powerful final. Goes well with game dishes and spicy roasts." Vinum

"Rich ruby red colour with brightening edges. Accessible on the nose, ripe berry fruit, sour cherry, dried violets, some coconut on the finish. On the palate with a certain light-footedness, ripe fruit tannin, juicy, subtly vegetal on the final." Falstaff

"The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silìneo 2020 opens with hints of white pepper, chalk and dried blueberries. It is silky and plush with tart forest fruits that give it tension. A salty, mineral core provides a savoury character. Wild herbs and liquid stone characterise the finish, while the 2020 ends with a light structure and medium length." Vinous

"Notes of cherries, olives, oranges and peach pits here, with some vanilla. It’s lively and balanced, with a medium body, nicely polished tannins and a long, firm yet supple finish." James Suckling

The dry and elegant vintage version of Villa Sandi's bestseller: pale yellow, delicate apple flavour on the nose, nutty, a hint of biscuit. A racy structure on the palate, pear fruit, lemongrass, lively and of good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, radiant silver-grey with persistent perlage. Somewhat restrained on the nose, yeast, grapefruit. Very fruity on the palate, on pineapple and tropical fruit, rather high dosage." Falstaff

"A deliciously bright and fruity Prosecco that has peach, melon and pear aromas. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and balanced, with gentle bubbles." James Suckling

This fabulous cuvée of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet comes from Querciabella's Maremma vineyard. A charming bouquet with notes of tobacco and leather, which then give way to ripe fruit. The harmonious flavour is delicately fruity, intense and fresh. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Mongrana is a fun, juicy wine to drink now and over the next few years. Bright red cherry fruit, spice, mint, tobacco and leather add layers of nuance. Floral and savoury accents linger. The finish is a little dry, but that's only a minor criticism for a wine that offers so much value." Vinous

"Black cherry and plum fruit signals this rich, round red. Boysenberry, eucalyptus and lavender notes chime in as this remains focused on the long finish." Wine Spectator

The Sauvignon Blanc has a straw-yellow colour tending towards greenish. Fine, delicate flavour, very fruity with notes of gooseberry, elderberry and nettle. The flavour is very full, round and carried by an elegant acidity. Pleasant citrus tones on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

Straw yellow in colour, made from Chardonnay and the indigenous Nascetta grape. Intense, floral, characteristic bouquet with a fragrance reminiscent of raspberries and blackberries. Dry, but full and persistent in flavour, Il Fiore leaves impressions on the palate that invite further enjoyment. SUPERIORE.DE

Delicate aroma of melon, peach and flowers. Deep, creamy texture on the palate, generous and fresh. A delicious, fresh and very complex white wine from Argiolas made from 100% Nasco. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very complex aromas of lemons, lemon blossoms, orange peel and green olives follow through to a full body with tension and flavors of lemon rind. Crunchy and salty at the end. Shows purity and clarity." James Suckling

Appetising sparkling yellow-green colour and fine foaming perlage. Clear and intense fragrance of peach and green apple, with aromas of fine buttered pastries in the background. On the palate, it shows a lot of fruit, crisp, fresh and well-balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

Medium deep, intense cherry red colour, rich, fruity plum aroma, spicy notes of leather and cocoa, but also floral nuances of violets. Full, mild taste with earthy finish and fine tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

Schulthaus Pinot Bianco is a true classic among South Tyrolean Pinot Blancs. Its success began in 1982, when it was first vinified and bottled. A perfect, delicately fruity and fresh wine that is a pleasure to savour with its creamy softness and racy acidity. Smells of fresh spring green, the generous palate is characterised by mirabelle plums, nectarine and a vibrant freshness that leads to a refreshing finish with lemon and minerals. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very intense and fresh style for a Pinot Blanc. Thyme, herbs, cedar wood, green apples and limes on the nose. Light to medium body with crisp, zesty acidity and good length." James Suckling

"Fresh yellow apple fruit, inviting; fine foamy, fruity, delicate structure, fine sweetness, very nice." Merum

"Brilliant silver-grey with a persistent perlage. Very fruity on the nose, of fruit salad, juicy peach, crunchy pear, subtle hints of pineapple. Balanced, crisp and juicy on the palate, with an airy perlage, creates a great arc, lingers for a long time." Falstaff

"The Barbera d'Alba DOC is a typical wine of our region. Thanks to careful selection, excellent locations and low yields, we obtain very high quality grapes that produce complex wines. We have decided to vinify it only in steel to emphasise its fruity notes." Franco Massolino

The Barbera d'Alba from Massolino is all about the fresh and juicy fruit. Interesting bouquet with beautifully integrated aromas of forest floor and mushrooms. Fresh and lively on the palate, very accessible and with an impressive drinking flow. Exotic and forward, it brings a lot of fun to the glass - a fresh, sincere and finely balanced expression of the Barbera grape! SUPERIORE.DE

Taurasini Donna Chiara is a sunny, juicy Aglianico with a beautiful variety of flavours of dark berries and cut flowers. The compact flavour is harmoniously round with a wonderful spiciness and well-integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Taurasini Donna Chiara 2021 has a deep purple colour in the glass. It shows a dusty bouquet of dried violets, blackberries and menthol. Its texture is soft yet supple, with crisp red and black fruits carried by citrus-infused acidity. The 2021 tapers off with a hint of bitterness but retains a lovely energy and freshness. It would pair best with a savoury meal." Vinous

"A tangy, briary red, with generous fragrant Mediterranean macchia and fresh earth aromatics layered with ripe, tangy red currant and black plum fruit flavors. Mineral-driven and bright, showing citrusy acidity, with chewy tannins firming the finish." Wine Spectator

Light cherry red, fine fruity nose with a distinct rose note, supple, pleasantly fresh and spicy flavour, with strong, very pleasant tannins and invigorating acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Grignolio, the name says it all, you can't help but smile at this wine. It opens with aromas of dried raspberries, strawberries and cranberries, which combine with notes of sage, thyme and dusty earth on the nose. The palate reveals crunchy red berries with notes of blood orange and citrus fruits, which lend the palate a certain sharpness. The finish brings a savoury note of rosemary and mint, underlined by a lively acidity. A wine that also likes to chill." Wine Enthusiast
