Molise

Outstanding, pure Sangiovese at a top price: ruby red, strong, very typical bouquet of dark berries, tobacco and leather, well-structured on the palate with cherry and plum notes, excellent length and an elegant, fine fruity finish. It has so much purity and energy. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich sangiovese with ripe plums, cherries, blueberries and vanilla on the nose. Chalky and powdery on the palate with a full body and sweetly-spiced finish." James Suckling

Rami' is made from mostly Falanghina and some Fiano, which grow in the Ramitello vineyard. Straw yellow with a fresh scent of apricot and peach. Soft and wide on the palate, good acidity and nutty finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Falanghina from the Molise DOC - even the Samnites not only appreciated this wine, they considered it to be one of the best. Golden yellow in colour, with a pleasantly fresh bouquet in which a hint of broom mingles with the exotic fruit aroma. Rich, full flavour reminiscent of pomegranate, yet always fresh and well-structured. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with greenish nuances. A fragrant nose of jasmine, overripe white peach and a hint of pepper. Youthful texture on the palate with animating freshness. Fruity-sweet, salty finish." Falstaff

"A fresh and lively Falanghina with flavours of lemon peel, grapefruit and camomile. It is medium-bodied, bright and juicy. Made from organically grown grapes." James Suckling

According to Aristotle, the ancient clones of the Greco vine come from Tessaglia. The most famous among them is the "Aminea Gemina Maior", from which this wine is made. Lively brilliant straw yellow and a wide, intensely fruity bouquet. Versatile fruit aromas in the harmonious taste. SUPERIORE.DE

This pure Aglianico is a dense ruby-violet colour. Fascinatingly perfumed aroma of blackcurrants and blackberries, with notes of liquorice, smoke and earth. Beautifully pure, rich and with spicy accents on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Concentrated ruby red with garnet-coloured reflections. The wood contributes very slight hints of roasted coffee to the predominantly black cherry and berry aroma. Full and very intense flavour of dark berries, very slight hints of violets and plums, the compact tannins are supported by balsamic notes, with fine liquorice tones in the finish. The harmony that this powerful and already delicious Aglianico hints at today will only fully come into its own after a few years of ageing in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has aromas of black currants, black cherries, dried herbs, tobacco and bitter chocolate. Firm and toasty on the palate, with a full body and chewy tannins. Ambitious but balanced." James Suckling

Ramitello impresses with an immense aroma of intense red fruit flavours and delicate balsamic notes. The taste is warm and full, with rich fruit tones spiced with a hint of tobacco, coffee and liquorice. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very dark ruby red with garnet reflections and a violet-coloured core. Very ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit on the nose, followed by earthy notes, eucalyptus and coffee powder. The palate shows great balance and equilibrium, the long final is very fruit-driven, the grippy tannins full of tension." Falstaff

"A concentrated, tasty red wine with aromas and flavours of mulberry, laurel, sage and black bean. It is full-bodied, dark fruity and balanced with medium-bodied tannins." James Suckling

This Moscato from Molise is exceptional and rich in aromas. Delightful bouquet of figs, apricots and candied citrus fruits, finely creamy on the palate, with well-dosed sweetness and a touch of tingling acidity. Long and dense on the finish, leaving a mouth-flattering but lively mouthfeel. SUPERIORE.DE

Rich Riserva made from Tintilia grapes, an ancient vine from Molise. Full, soft and velvety, the perfect harmony of bouquet and flavour is impressive. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, sparkling ruby with a brick-red hue. Impressive on the nose, sweet, black plum, juniper, cocoa bean, also some leather and iron. Precise fruit on the palate, fine-grained tannins, round and present, very harmonious and persistent on the finish." Falstaff

"Spicy and hot on the nose, with chilli pepper and cherry tomatoes before flavours of sour cherries and candied red apples emerge. More red apple and red pepper spiciness on the palate, with the sanguine flinty quality of dusty brick and ferrous soil emphasised by lively acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Aromas of eucalyptus, figs and wild cherries. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Interesting mineral character on the palate with walnut and blackberry flavours." James Suckling

"Autumnal spices, black liquorice and sage form an inviting bouquet when the Tintilia 2020 blossoms in the glass. Silky and enveloping, it impresses with cool mineral tones and juicy acidity. The tart fruits of the forest slowly saturate the palate. A layer of fine tannins gradually fades as the 2020 finishes energetically, leaving the mouth wanting another sip." Vinous

Rare Metodo Classico made from 100% Falanghina grapes. No sugar is added with the dosage during the final disgorgement. Lively straw yellow. Fresh and persistent bouquet of bergamot, lime, green apple and fine flowers. In addition mineral notes, which later change into hints of bread crust, yeast and lemon cream. Fresh, lively, harmonious and balanced on the palate. The velvety, long finish is clean and elegant. SUPERIORE.DE

Don Luigi Riserva opens with a dark, seductive blend of musky blackcurrants, sweet sage and crushed ash stones. It is full-bodied and almost creamy in flavour. The palate is lapped up by deep, ripe dark fruit and exotic spices. In between, a lively acidity with lingering notes of red plums and cedar wood. Beneath the surface is a hint of grippy tannin. The balance of this wine is breathtaking and further bottle ageing will improve it even further. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red with violet reflections. Very ripe, sweet fruit notes on the nose, aromas of preserved cherries, plums and liquorice, underlaid with cocoa and a hint of liquorice. A fruity-sweet core on the palate, grippy and rustic tannins, with a hint of liquorice on the finish." Falstaff

"A powerful red wine with flavours of black cherries, plums, dried mint and hazelnuts. It is ripe and full-bodied with firm but creamy tannins. Opulent yet balanced." James Suckling

Dark, concentrated ruby red colour. Complex on the nose with an abundance of ripe red and black berry fruit aromas, including sour cherry, blackcurrant and elderberry, followed by notes of dried violets, sweet spices, liquorice, cocoa powder, mentholated tobacco and eucalyptus. Rich and multi-layered on the palate, powerful and soft with youthful but well-integrated tannins and excellent acidity. Only reveals its large reservoir of impressions after some aeration. Very long on the finish, great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"The deeply umami nose features aromas of balsamic, pepper, soil and iron, with an undertone of sun-dried tomato providing some levity. On the palate, a wave of tart fruit crashes over more leathery, meaty flavors, before a hot finish that's underscored by tightly wound tannins and acid." Wine Enthusiast
