Exclusive
This stamp indicates the bottles available exclusively on Callmewine. Cellars that cannot be found elsewhere, selected with care and attention to offer you wines that can tell authentic and unrepeatable stories.
Not only our selections, on Callmewine you will find the major awards from international wine guides and critics. The awards are updated for each bottle and each vintage, to help you always choose the right bottle for each occasion. Here are the main ones:
Gambero rosso
For over 30 years, the Gambero Rosso Guide has represented one of the most famous awards in Italian gastronomy. The assignment of the Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso award is awaited every year by all wine enthusiasts. Are you one of them? On Callmewine you will find the GR symbol next to each awarded bottle, both with the Tre Bicchieri and the Due Bicchieri
Slow
With its “Slow” philosophy, this Guide has revolutionized the way of understanding wine awards and in many ways also the Italian wine scene itself. Promoters of a “good, clean and fair” wine, the Slow Wine awards are assigned to labels that represent the territory, the history and the environment, as well as those with an excellent quality/price ratio and those with a simply excellent organoleptic profile. Next to each awarded bottle you will find the symbol corresponding to Vino Slow, Vino Quotidiano and Grande Vino, you can't go wrong!
Guida Vitae
The Guida Vitae of the Italian Sommelier Association has been a point of reference for enthusiasts for years. This prestigious award highlights “wines with an excellent stylistic and organoleptic profile”, that is, those productions evaluated by a commission of sommeliers with a score of over 91 points on a centesimal scale. The wines awarded with Quattro or Tre Viti AIS are marked with a T, which recalls the shape of a guyot. On Callmewine you will find them updated vintage after vintage!
Bibenda Guide
The Bibenda guide is one of the most authoritative publications of food and wine criticism that, every year, gives the highest recognition to those productions considered excellent, not only among wines, but also among Italian grappas. These are great and unmissable expressions of the Italian wine heritage, witnesses of national excellence, distinguished by Four or Five Grapes. It is no coincidence that "Bibenda" derives from the Latin "things to drink": at Callmewine we don't need to be told twice!
Louis Veronelli
Luigi Veronelli was an eminent personality who accompanied and supported the agri-food production and quality Italian cuisine from the post-war period until the 2000s. Today, the Guida Veronelli collects his legacy by offering a comprehensive overview of the Italian regions and production areas. On Callmewine you will find the wines awarded with 90 or more points, specifically indicated next to each bottle!
James Suckling
Not only local guides, but also international ones! Among the scores indicated on Callmewine you will also find those of the famous critic James Suckling. Driven by the belief that "good wine is like music" and therefore should be appreciated with emotions, Suckling tastes over 4000 wines every year, half of which are Italian. His awards are also an excellent compass for orienting yourself among wines from around the world!
Robert Parker
Among the most famous and influential wine critics in the world, the American Robert Parker revolutionized the world of international criticism, formulating the scoring system in hundredths today widely used and appreciated by both professionals and amateurs. The RP symbol next to the wines awarded with 90+ points will guide you through wine certainties and unknown pearls!
Wine Spectator
Wine Spectator is an American lifestyle magazine that focuses on wine and wine culture. It publishes 15 issues per year and each issue also includes 400 to more than 1,000 wine reviews, which consist of ratings and tasting notes. All Wine Spectator 90+ award-winning wines are updated regularly, discover your favorite among them!
