Award winning wines

In this Black Friday selection you will find the most purchased wines, awarded by both Italian and international critics . Wine critics play a fundamental role in guiding enthusiasts and professionals in the choice of quality bottles. Through specialized guides and scoring systems, critics analyze and describe the organoleptic characteristics of each wine, assigning it a numerical value that reflects its excellence and uniqueness, helping consumers navigate the infinite variety of labels on the market.

In Italy, wine criticism is dominated by influential figures such as Luca Maroni, Gambero Rosso, and Luca Gardini. Luca Maroni is known for his scientific approach and his annual “Annuario dei Migliori Vini Italiani,” which evaluates wines based on pleasantness, integrity, and consistency. Gambero Rosso, known for its guide “Vini d'Italia,” awards the famous “Tre Bicchieri” to the best Italian wines. Luca Gardini, a world-renowned sommelier and critic, highlights Italy’s wine heritage with precise evaluations and great charisma, emphasizing wines that tell a territorial story.

Internationally, wine critics are represented by icons such as Robert Parker, James Suckling and Wine Spectator magazine. Robert Parker, founder of Wine Advocate, introduced the famous 100-point scale, which has had a profound impact on the global wine market. James Suckling, former Wine Spectator critic, is known for his straightforward style and reviews ranging from great Bordeaux to Italian wines. Wine Spectator, one of the world’s most prestigious magazines, publishes annual rankings and authoritative assessments, providing essential insight for producers and consumers around the world.
