"The Barbera d'Alba DOC is a typical wine of our region. Thanks to careful selection, excellent locations and low yields, we obtain very high quality grapes that produce complex wines. We have decided to vinify it only in steel to emphasise its fruity notes." Franco Massolino

The Barbera d'Alba from Massolino is all about the fresh and juicy fruit. Interesting bouquet with beautifully integrated aromas of forest floor and mushrooms. Fresh and lively on the palate, very accessible and with an impressive drinking flow. Exotic and forward, it brings a lot of fun to the glass - a fresh, sincere and finely balanced expression of the Barbera grape! SUPERIORE.DE

Taurasini Donna Chiara is a sunny, juicy Aglianico with a beautiful variety of flavours of dark berries and cut flowers. The compact flavour is harmoniously round with a wonderful spiciness and well-integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Taurasini Donna Chiara 2021 has a deep purple colour in the glass. It shows a dusty bouquet of dried violets, blackberries and menthol. Its texture is soft yet supple, with crisp red and black fruits carried by citrus-infused acidity. The 2021 tapers off with a hint of bitterness but retains a lovely energy and freshness. It would pair best with a savoury meal." Vinous

"A tangy, briary red, with generous fragrant Mediterranean macchia and fresh earth aromatics layered with ripe, tangy red currant and black plum fruit flavors. Mineral-driven and bright, showing citrusy acidity, with chewy tannins firming the finish." Wine Spectator

Zisola, from the Mazzei family winery of the same name in Sicily, is an exceptionally good single-varietal Nero d'Avola. Elegant, bright ruby red in colour with a delicately brightening rim. Ripe wild berries and rose hips on the flattering fruity bouquet, slightly reminiscent of blood orange with a hint of cocoa. Juicy and clear on the palate with savoury red fruit, powerful and soft on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, medium ruby red with a brightening rim. Intense nose of juicy black cherry, plum, undergrowth, followed by Mediterranean herbs and cold smoke. Fresh attack with crisp fruit on tightly woven tannins, persistent." Falstaff

"The 2022 Zisola wafts up with a pretty blend of dusty rose, clove and wild strawberry. This is juicy and lifted in style, with pure wild berry fruits and a gentle tinge of blood orange toward the close. It finishes with admirable length and youthful tension, leaving behind grippy tannins that frame the experience nicely without slowing its momentum." Vinous

Light cherry red, fine fruity nose with a distinct rose note, supple, pleasantly fresh and spicy flavour, with strong, very pleasant tannins and invigorating acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very light, fresh red colour; beefy, only distantly red fruity notes; fine, juicy, rather slender, suitable tannin, very pleasant." Merum

"It is fruity and racy with notes of crushed red berries, dried orange peel and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and crisp, with dusty tannins and a bright, refreshing aftertaste." James Suckling

"Grignolio, the name says it all, you can't help but smile at this wine. It opens with aromas of dried raspberries, strawberries and cranberries, which combine with notes of sage, thyme and dusty earth on the nose. The palate reveals crunchy red berries with notes of blood orange and citrus fruits, which lend the palate a certain sharpness. The finish brings a savoury note of rosemary and mint, underlined by a lively acidity. A wine that also likes to chill." Wine Enthusiast

Medium deep, intense cherry red colour, rich, fruity plum aroma, spicy notes of leather and cocoa, but also floral nuances of violets. Full, mild taste with earthy finish and fine tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

Impeccable and dynamic Gewürztraminer: strong golden yellow colour, delicately smoky, fine orange notes, rose oil, perfect varietal characteristics. Powerful, mineral and persistent on the palate, rose petals on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A complex wine that’s not obviously a gewurztraminer. It has a multilayered fruit profile of apricots and peaches, enhanced by citrus notes and a touch of white flowers. Mellow and weighted, with a medium to full body and a refreshing finish that’s polished and aromatic." James Suckling

A Nebbiolo for purists. Pine resin, dried fruit and ethereal spices on the nose. On the palate, we find sweet plums, lots of juicy cherries and cassis, as well as robust tannins and a fine mineral acidity. This wine calls for a strong food companion and is a great pleasure in this combination! SUPERIORE.DE

Schulthaus Pinot Bianco is a true classic among South Tyrolean Pinot Blancs. Its success began in 1982, when it was first vinified and bottled. A perfect, delicately fruity and fresh wine that is a pleasure to savour with its creamy softness and racy acidity. Smells of fresh spring green, the generous palate is characterised by mirabelle plums, nectarine and a vibrant freshness that leads to a refreshing finish with lemon and minerals. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very intense and fresh style for a Pinot Blanc. Thyme, herbs, cedar wood, green apples and limes on the nose. Light to medium body with crisp, zesty acidity and good length." James Suckling

The evening fall winds of the Mendel Mountains characterise the entire terroir of the St. Michael-Eppan winery. They ensure cool nights and give the grapes the extraordinary characteristics that characterise the aromas, unmistakable freshness and longevity of the wines. The fall wind is the natural force that blows over the vineyard every day, positively influencing the climate and supporting the valuable work of the winegrowers at the cooperative winery.

The Fallwind wines are ambassadors of their terroir and reflect the strengths of the growing region in a unique way. Most of them are from selected vineyards that have been cultivated for centuries. Strict quality guidelines, low yields, intensive manual labour in the vineyard and gentle and individual ageing in the cellar make them what they are: Characterful, precise and unique wines with varietal characteristics that will win over every connoisseur.

This Pinot Grigio from a single vineyard with loamy limestone gravel soils is another prime example of how Pinot Gris from Italy can be much more than just a simple wine for drinking. With a ripe bouquet of pear and honeydew melon, a noble structure, excellent balance and fine acidity, it will win over even the most discerning palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Dark colour, sweet fruit notes and delicate herbal spice. On the palate powerful, complex, with wild berry flavours and fine present tannins. Black berries and some caramel in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Successful Sangiovese interpretation of the Romagna identity, which is particularly appreciated by wine lovers of slimmer, Burgundian-style wines. Bright, brilliant ruby red colour. Classic, traditional, lively and flavoursome on the palate, but always balanced, elegant and subtle rather than bold. SUPERIORE.DE

"Woodsy aromas of fall alongside spiced cherries and dried roses lift from the glass of this elegant wine. Savory with seemingly endless flavors of black tea, rosemary, dried blackberry and underbrush that meld into the fine and elegant tannins that frame the wine so well that each note of the wine is in harmony. Perfect with your next roasted or earth-driven meal." Wine Enthusiast

Clear straw yellow colour and intense, fresh aroma of green apple, citrus, white flowers and nuts. Clear, focussed and juicy on the palate, unfolds with rich fruit, delicate, taut and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with silvery-green reflections. Restrained, almost shy on the nose with hints of yellow stone fruit and meadow flowers. Crisp acidity on the palate, pleasantly juicy with medium length." Falstaff

The spicy opulence of Fiulòt is incomparable: ruby red in colour with a violet hue, a bouquet of cherries and hints of bitter almond and liquorice. The palate is caressed by the elegant body and the fullness of the fruit. The cherry finish offers a lovely aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

Delara is Guerrieri Rizzardi's new Bardolino cru from the single vineyard Montebaldo. It exudes a wonderfully fresh bouquet of wild strawberries, roses, blood oranges and wet stones.

In the deep limestone gravel soils around Margreid in the south of South Tyrol, very old vines take root in a very warm environment. The many hours of sunshine combined with the afternoon onset of the Lake Garda Ora wind create the best conditions for growing Cabernet grapes in particular, which ripen late. Delightful aroma of wild berries with a fine smoky note. Medium-bodied, well-structured and very elegant on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Accessible style, fresh pome fruit, apple, pear, fine citrus vein. Shows melting on the palate, but remains predominantly juicy, animating and uncomplicatedly playful in the centre of the mouth. Medium length, finishes clear and refreshing." Vinum

"Lemon zest and apple pulp with a hint of spice, sprite and stones. Medium-bodied with fresh, creamy acidity and a slightly phenolic, medium-long finish." James Suckling

Medium ruby red colour. Sweet and spicy aromas of raspberry, milk chocolate, red cherry, orange zest and violets. Complex and juicy, with very soft tannins, high but harmonious acidity and beautiful generosity and elegance to the red cherry, savoury and floral aromas. A deep, rich and yet very clear wine with supple tannins that are wonderfully harmonious after a short aeration. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fragrant version, showing notes of espresso, cured tobacco and dark chocolate, this creamy red layers supple tannins with flavors of baked cherry and plum fruit. Balanced, with a spiced finish." Wine Spectator

Pale yellow, delicate scent of yellow apple, floral aromas and discreet peach fruit. Fine texture and aromatic depth on the palate, hints of citrus fruit in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Harmonious, velvety Pinot Noir from vineyards at an altitude of around 450 metres. These hills with special conglomerate soils of clay and limestone and the very suitable microclimate form the ideal conditions for a clear Pinot Nero full of character. Bright ruby to garnet red in colour. Fine, ripe aroma of dark berries and sour cherry. Harmonious and soft on the palate with a good balance of fruit and body. SUPERIORE.DE

A more than respectable performance for a so-called basic Lagrein: minty freshness, accentuated by floral notes and a hint of white pepper. The 2022 Lagrein still seems a little hesitant to show its full potential today, but the first sip already reveals a deep, silky texture. This is matched by a crisp red and black fruit flavour, driven by juicy acidity and plenty of pressure. Very impressive and with potential! SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby-red Pinot Noir with an intense, ethereal wild berry bouquet. Full of aromatic richness and persistent pressure, with almost austere tannins on the palate. Lots of character and class! SUPERIORE.DE

Boscarelli's Merlot smells very complex and pleasant of ripe blueberries and plums, a little smoky and of roasted nuts. Firm and powerful on the palate, ripe, juicy, tart fruit and youthful but polished tannin. Wonderfully persistent, long, spicy and soft. SUPERIORE.DE

Pietranera is intensely spicy and perfumed with a floral bouquet that blends roses and sage with vibrant black cherry. The palate is soft, round and juicy to the core, with stimulating acidity that drives the tart wild berry fruit and adds a balanced inner sweetness towards the end. Fresh and full of character on the finish with strong raspberry and liquorice notes. Wonderful value! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Pietranera, a zesty blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Franc, opens with a darkly alluring blend of dried flowers and citrus-tinged wild berries. Silky-smooth, it washes across the palate with a fresh mélange of herbaceous red and blue berries guided by vibrant acidity. This leaves a staining of blackberry and hints of orange, finishing fresh with unexpected length. The Pietranera is the real value score of the Piaggia portfolio." Vinous
