The grapes for this Bardolino Classico come from the Tacchetto vineyard, located at the foot of the Adige Valley near the village of Cavaion. The success pattern of this extremely popular red is easy to describe: a unique terroir of sand, scree and limestone and an always well-ventilated site. Intensely fragrant and engaging. On the palate, the clear and unambiguous structure and, as the drink continues, a silkiness that catapults it from a standing start into the hearts of Bardolino lovers. SUPERIORE.DE

Golden yellow with greenish reflections and the sweet aroma of fresh yellow fruit. These wonderfully fruity flavours also come through on the palate. The charming, sweet Moscato d'Asti has a fine mousse and the typical nutmeg flavour on the finish. A pleasure not only as an aperitif. SUPERIORE.DE

The Lucchine is rich and firm with beautiful cherry fruit and sweet spices on the palate. A juicy and inexpensive wine from a good vineyard that gives us great pleasure every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"The only Valpolicella without oak. This wine resembles a more mature Bardolino or, to put it this way, a Venetian Beaujolais, as it is so lively and vibrant. Light and juicy, with a thread of crisp acidity that carries sour red fruits, plums and dried herbs long and easy. Delicious! One of the best young Valpolicella I've tasted in a while." James Suckling

"On the nose, this wine shines with aromas of fresh rose and violet, with hints of strawberries and cranberries in the background. On the palate, the tart red berries shine with a hint of pepper and fresh earth." Wine Enthusiast

The fresh, smooth and very drinkable Casa Boschino is made from a similar blend of grapes to the Cerviolo, the star of the San Fabiano estate. However, its grapes come from younger vineyards, making it available at a sensationally favourable price. Very beautiful aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and Indian-style spices, full-bodied and with fine tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red colour, fresh nose of red fruits and spices. Pleasant flavour: fruity, balanced in tannin and acidity, very lively and crisp. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour. Still somewhat restrained on the nose, of ripe cherry, rosehip and cloves. Opens on the palate with clear fruit and animating acidity, fine, young tannins." Falstaff

"This tightly wound red's chewy tannins maintain a stranglehold on the wild strawberry and cherry fruit. Accents of earth and tobacco add detail, yet the finish feels pinched for now." Wine Spectator

"The nose balances savory, slightly astringent aromas of coffee, soil, pepper and balsamic with sweeter notes of cherries and blackberries. That berry element glows on the palate, but an enduring peppery earthiness preserves the balance. Firm tannins usher the acid into a sophisticated, salty finish." Wine Enthusiast

The Pecorino from Villa Medoro is an inexpensive and at the same time consistently high-quality white wine made from autochthonous grapes every year. Stimulating in aroma, full and juicy in flavour. A great wine for every day. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rather jammy strawberry and raspberry on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with intensity of fruit and some fine tannin that does little to impede the flow. Glass stopper. Good and fruity. Drink now." James Suckling

Straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The nose is dominated by notes of white fruit flesh, apples and pineapple, which are well balanced by citrus notes of orange blossom and jasmine. Its fragrant palate is flavoursome with a soft entry and balanced freshness, with a light nutmeg spice on the finish. An extremely straightforward Chardonnay, as we love it, with a cool style, fine salinity and a fruity finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of lemon, crushed stone, white flowers, stone fruit and dried pineapple swirl together to create a fresh, enticing nose, and continue to mix and mingle on the bright, salty palate as acid gleams overhead. It is refreshing, but also substantial." Wine Enthusiast

"Strong, intense straw yellow colour. Aromas of ripe yellow stone fruit, exotic fruit and yellow flowers on the nose. Juicy, drinky and slightly salty on the palate." Falstaff

Straw-coloured with greenish reflections, smells intensely fruity with nuances of yeast and fresh bread. The full flavour is finely balanced by the subtle acidity.

"More savory than sweet, the 2023 Pecorino lifts from the glass with a thrust of wild herbs, crushed rocks and lime zest. Round and supple, this builds lovely tension through a core of saline minerality and citrus-infused green apple fruits. It finishes amazingly fresh and full of zesty tension, leaving a salty sensation and hints of young kiwi that linger on and on." Vinous

A smoky blend of raspberry jam, sage and freshly ground pepper flows from the glass. The palate is silky in texture and extremely flavoursome with the pepper notes from the bouquet mingling with salty minerals and lively acidity. The finish is long and fruity with a hint of liquorice. A delicious accompaniment to food. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright cherry, fresh and lively with a hint of sweet paprika spice. Juicy and delicious. A wine that is a pleasure to drink." Jancis Robinson

"A beautiful, casual young Valpo with fresh cherries and berries. Light, clean and straightforward. No tannins to speak of." James Suckling

Rich straw yellow colour, fresh, floral aroma and clear fruit of white peaches and a hint of honey. The intense flavour is taut and fresh with hints of minerality, round, juicy and long on the finish. We are very surprised by the complexity of this wine for this price range; this is a new generation of Puglia.

"A pretty bouquet of bright cherries and pink flowers makes the 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano a real pleasure on the nose.
