Sicily sends rays of sunshine The Settesoli Grillo Appassimento is one of the first Appassimento wines on the German market and is therefore right on trend. In this special process, the grapes are left on the vine to dry naturally and are not harvested until late September or early October. This gives them their characteristic aromas. The Cantine Settesoli was founded in Menfi, a city steeped in history. To the west, you can see the historic ruins of Selinunte, the old Greek city. The Settesoli headquarters itself is on a gentle slope by the sea. This good location, combined with the mild climate, also forms the basis for the characteristic wines. The grapes benefit from the light-flooded environment and the warm sun.

Exclusive wine enjoyment with power and depth: Why is this complex and full-bodied red wine called "The Phantom"? The name can certainly be traced back to its exclusivity: only one barrique barrel of this vintage was vinified. So you should be all the more pleased to be able to taste this single-varietal Grenache from the Swartland. Deep purple in the glass, the red wine exudes a brilliant bouquet of blackberries and plums as well as notes of cherry, currant and sweet liquorice. Developing for hours, it delights with its variety of aromas and its depth. The elegant combination of dominant fruit and refreshing acidity makes "The Phantom" a lively red wine with good balance and an invigorating drinking flow. With its subtle vanilla and cocoa aromas, which developed during the 16-month maturation period in oak, this wine enchants right up to the finish, the complexity of which lingers for a long time. The bottom line is: This Phantom is a South African rarity and a top recommendation!

This rosé shines with delicate aromas of red fruits, underlined with subtle spicy notes. On the palate it is fresh with the fine, smooth Pinot Noir characteristics.

A Vino Nobile as you wish With the Tenuta Calimaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano you can enjoy a masterful red wine full of history.

The local variety is named after the legendary Greek city of Toja, from which it is said to originate. This rosé is just as magical as the history of the grape.

Whether as an aperitif, with summer salads or antipasti, this wine is very tasty and with it you have Dolce Vita in your glass.

Super Superiore! When you hear the name "Asti", do you first think of the famous Asti Spumante, the sweet, white sparkling wine from Piedmont? Then you might be surprised to learn that the vineyards around the city of Asti are largely planted with red wine. The Barbera grape variety clearly sets the tone here. And not just in terms of area. Since 2008, Barbera d'Asti has had the status of a DOCG region, the highest Italian level for quality wines. But that's not all: A Barbera d'Asti Superiore, such as the one produced by the Villa Pani winery, goes one step further in terms of quality... "A Barbera d'Asti requires four months of maturation, whereas a Barbera d'Asti Superiore matures for at least 14 months," explains Stella Grasso. The young winemaker heads up red wine production at Villa Pani and, as a true Piedmontese, is very familiar with the region's peculiarities. "To give the wine more depth and flavor, our Superiore is stored for the full 14 months in small 225-liter barriques. The typical cherry fruit of the Barbera also comes out even better," Stella is sure. In fact, her ruby-red Superiore with its powerful fruit aromas invites you to enjoy it straight away. Piedmont cherry, plum, violet, basil and fine spices characterize the scent. On the palate you feel the stately body and great harmony. Juicy, finely structured and long-lasting, this Barbera d'Asti Superiore is one thing above all: super! Try its excellent quality on its own, with pasta, mature cheese or spicy dishes from the grill.

The best of tradition and modernity When we talk about highly individual wines with strong character, we quickly end up with Barolo. The combination of light red color, fine fruit, strong structure and enormous storage capacity is simply unique in the world of wine. It is no wonder that the impressive wines from the small municipality of the same name in Piedmont enjoy great fame. The Villa Pani Barolo from winemaker Stella Grasso provides you with a modern taste of its highest class. Stella has known the vineyards of Piedmont since she was a child. She comes from Canelli, which is about 30 kilometers east of the Barolo region. She studied oenology in Alba before heading out into the wide world. In Australia, Stella then became acquainted with a very modern, international red wine style, which she has been incorporating into the Villa Pani winery since she returned home. She matures the Barolo in barriques for an extra long time. "Unlike the large barrels, the small barrique gives the wine more of its soft wood aromas. This makes the taste rounder and the sometimes somewhat prickly Barolo accessible a little earlier," explains Stella. The Barolo from Villa Pani is stored in barriques for an impressive 38 months before it is bottled.The wine appears very classic in the glass: a light garnet red sparkles at you. The typical cherry fruit and fine spice notes are immediately present on the nose, accompanied by delicate caramel aromas. On the tongue, the Barolo then positions itself with a powerful body and juicy tartaric acid. In fact, the structure is very polished, despite the present tannins. The long finish reveals fine vanilla notes.The young Stella, that much is clear after tasting, combines tradition and modernity in the best way in this Barolo. See for yourself and try this wonderful red wine both on its own and with strong dishes with truffles and mature cheese.

Apulia with a difference Apulia - but not Primitivo! With this short formula, the Virgolato invites explorers and lovers of full-bodied red wines to a new wine experience. Because Primitivo may be on everyone's lips, but "Virgolato" is the wine of the moment! Why this is so is clear to anyone who has tried this wine slightly chilled. That is when the advantages of this Rosso come into their own. Fresh fruit and an elegant body nestle against the palate. Juicy, cherry-like and subtly spicy, the Virgolato rolls along the tongue and is soft and balanced. No wonder, since the three old southern Italian grape varieties Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Nero di Troia were brought into perfect harmony. With this wine, amazement is simply allowed. Because so much fruit and freshness is quite unusual for a red wine - especially at this moderate price. Try for yourself what Apulia can taste like and enjoy the Virgolato at 12 to 14 degrees simply on its own or with delicious grilled dishes.

Homage to Portofino "I found my love in Portofino" - that's how the French music icon Dalida sang the song by the duo Chiosso-Buscaglione at the end of the 1950s about the picturesque port town near Genoa. And in doing so, she made it famous almost overnight. Since then, not only tourists but also world stars have been flocking to the small town. In the past, it was Frank Sinatra and Brigitte Bardot; today it is the summer residence of such famous families as Armani and Prada. Their holiday homes may not be accessible to the average tourist. But there is something that is shared locally. Namely, the high-quality wines, whose grapes grow on the lush slopes high above the dreamy harbor. This is exactly where the grapes for the great Portofino homage by Cantina Volpi come from. The "Rosafino" Rosato is made from 100 percent Grenache. A grape variety that is rarely found in Liguria, but which nevertheless brings the full Italian feeling of life into the glass: rich fruit (blackberry, black currant and black cherry) is paired with an enchanting freshness and a magnificent liveliness. Every sip is an enjoyable short vacation!

Even prettier in pink Norma Ratcliffe, who founded Warwick Estate in South Africa with her husband more than four decades ago, is known as the First Lady of Cape winemaking. A unique monument was erected to her with the "The First Lady" wines. The Warwick Estate "The First Lady Rosé" is a particularly fruity, dry rosé wine that is truly worthy of a monument! On the nose, the noble wine smells of ripe strawberries and red currants. On the palate, it shows gentle notes of watermelon and raspberries, thus presenting the South African grape variety Pinotage in the best possible way. The grapes ripen under ideal conditions at the foot of the Simonsberg. Here the grapes are given their full strength and elegance and the absence of chemical fertilizers allows the vines to ripen healthy and strong. The fruity South African rosé wine goes particularly well with tartar and a dash of truffle oil and is also particularly good to enjoy on a warm summer evening! This wine goes well with various dishes.

Drink pink and feel Moscato! Now it's pink! With the [yellow tail] Pink Moscato, the Australian winery Casella is bringing a new color to the wine shelf! Admittedly, we're not that far removed from rosé wine, but still: Rosé is rosé and Pink Moscato is pink! Moscato, you might think, isn't that a white wine grape? Bingo! The pink shimmer comes from the addition of small amounts of red grape juice. But the intensely colored wine is not only visually impressive. In terms of taste, it also provides a wonderful drinking pleasure with its sweet, fruity aroma of strawberries, which is also very crisp thanks to additional notes of green apple. In order to keep the fruit aromas and fresh acidity as concise as possible, the grapes are harvested at night. The processing equipment is also kept cool and the wine is cold-filtered. After vinification, it is blended with the juice of other Muscat grapes. This gives it an extra kick of freshness and fruit! The lively character of this Australian wine is underlined by a very fine effervescence. Try the [yellow tail] Pink Moscato well chilled with light dishes or as an aperitif.
