Volpe Pasini

Straw-coloured with greenish reflections, it has an intensely fruity aroma with nuances of yeast and fresh bread. The full flavour is deliciously balanced by the fine acidity. A masterful white wine in a rich style with a delicate flint note. SUPERIORE.DE

"A spicy and pretty white with sliced apples, spiced pears and a hint of white pepper. It’s medium-body with a rounded textured and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

Sparkling ruby violet, smells exciting, lots of rich fruit, plus fine spices. Plump on the palate, of cassis and dark cherries, underpinned with fine tannin, very clear and straightforward. SUPERIORE.DE

Light yellow in colour, fine nutty and buttery notes on the nose with juicy fruit such as mango and apple. Fresh and elegantly textured on the palate. A harmonious, versatile Chardonnay with a clean, yellow apple finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A sparkling, tangy Chardonnay that tastes a little more like Pinot Blanc than Chardonnay. It's fresh, apple-flavoured, bright with green pears and spring blossom and sweet with satsuma acidity. Like a crisp white envelope, neatly pressed, containing a bright yellow card with sunshine and flowers." Jancis Robinson

"An attractive chardonnay with sliced cooked apples, lemon rind and peach stones. Medium-bodied with lovely density and freshness and a bright, tangy finish. Fresh, clean and direct." James Suckling

Emilio Rotolo's Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso draws you into the glass with its deep, peppery black raspberry flavours, complemented by pretty violet and lavender tones. Wrapping the palate in a cloak of dark, ripe, textured fruit, it is incredibly elegant and polished, but also tangy. A layer of sweet tannins frames the expression and caresses the cheeks, while citrus fruit and a hint of spice linger. This is a very nice wine that will benefit from a slight chill. SUPERIORE.DE

"Spiced tobacco leaves and dried black cherry aromas lift from the glass of this spicy red. Inviting on the palate with smokiness that adds character to the black plum and cassis flavors to craft rich and intriguing wines with fine tannins on the finish." Wine Enthusiast

Classic, clean bouquet with notes of blackcurrant and blackberry. Convinces on the palate with power, clarity and lots of fresh fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

The wonderfully typical, very lively Ribolla Gialla has a bouquet of fresh citrus fruits and apples, with peach notes and flint in the background. The fruity taste is round, clean and very harmonious with a long, salty finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Ribolla Gialla Zuc di Volpe 2021 is delicate and unobtrusive. It smells of lime and green melon, underlined by sweet floral scents. The style is soft and mineral, with an echo of saline acidity that slowly dissipates to reveal crisp Granny Smith apple. The 2021 finishes clean but full of youthful tension and a crisp feel as nuances of sour citrus gradually fade. What a beauty. Two to three years of ageing should help it to develop fully." Vinous

"Lots of flint and smoke with aromas and flavours of green apple and lime. Tangy and bright. A linear and energetic Ribolla with a sorbet finish." James Suckling

The Pinot Grigio Zuc di Volpe impresses with seductive aromas of ripe pears and apricots, accompanied by sweet white flowers and a hint of buttercream. It is silky and round, with a certain heaviness, yet perfectly balanced. Then on the palate, notes of ripe melon underlined by zesty lime and a salty note towards the spicy, smoky final. For all its complexity, very bright and fresh and full of personality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intensely perfumed and rich in the glass, the 2021 Pinot Grigio Zuc di Volpe wafts up with notes of dried peaches and apricots complemented by a whiff of chamomile. It’s silky, nearly oily in texture, with tart green apple fruits and zesty lime tones complicated by a salty core of minerality. The 2021 lingers incredibly long and savory yet fresh with rosemary and liquid stone nuances. This characterful Pinot Grigio communicates importance and refinement from the first tilt of the glass. Fans of the variety should seek it out." Vinous

"A terrific and serious pinot grigio with lime, apple-pie and lemon-zest character throughout. Full-bodied and driven, with so much fruit flavor and intensity in the finish." James Suckling

The best grape material ensures intensely fruity aromas and distinct characteristics in the Pinot Blanc of the Zuc di Volpe line. Brilliantly clear, soft, floral tones, harmonious and juicy, persistent and long. Beautiful ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Complex and rich bouquet of citrus fruit and sage flavours. Excellently structured and consistent on the palate with a fresh acid wire. This wonderful Sauvignon offers multi-layered fruit notes and great harmony with a delightful grapefruit flavour on the long finish. Good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Sauvignon Zuc di Volpe blossoms slowly in the glass with a lovely blend of nectarine and wildflowers complicated by tangerine zest. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness as tart orchard fruits and ginger hints sweep across the palate. Residual acidity maintains a gorgeous balance as the 2022 finishes spicy and wickedly fresh, leaving the mouth watering for more. The combination of energy, vividly ripe fruit and power is stunning and promises many years of positive evolution." Vinous

"A very pure and chalky Sauvignon blanc, tangy but not herbaceous. Mineral, green apples and very gastronomic style. Ripe green apples, wet stones and nice and dry. Strict, but not demanding. Straightforward, quite long and mineral." James Suckling

The single-varietal Merlot Focus beguiles with its elegant aroma of red fruits and warm, balsamic tones. The fresh taste is characterised by the typical spiciness and the lively tannins of a high-quality and rare Merlot from the Colli Orientali. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep ruby. Cool climate Merlot aromas and flavors with flinty red berries, wet stones, fresh herbs, with only minimal notes of coffee and cocoa. Vibrant and long on the juicy finish. A 22 years old, single vineyard Merlot from Prepotto." Vinous

"A soft and beautiful wine with hazelnut, coffee and chocolate aromas and flavors. Mint and eucalyptus notes, too. Full to medium body. Round and soft tannins. Complex and long." James Suckling
