A finesse-rich cuvée of Corvina, Sangiovese, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that seduces the nose tirelessly with fruit and herbal aromas, while the taste offers considerable substance and richness with a mixture of lightness and tension. Impressive how this Vintage Edition does justice to the expressive and harmonious style of the house and the old Veronese tradition. SUPERIORE.DE

With its fertile soils on sunny and partly very steep slopes at an altitude of up to 700m, the Vinschgau Valley (the upper part of the Etsch Valley) offers ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir. Stimulating, fresh bouquet of raspberries and wild strawberries. Lively, very fresh and with the elegance typical of the grape variety. The very discreet tannin structure gives this rosato a long-lasting and incredibly juicy final. SUPERIORE.DE

Straw yellow colour and intense, multi-faceted fruit aroma of honeydew melon and summer flowers. Lots of substance on the palate, complex and of great aromatic depth with good structure and length." SUPERIORE.DE

Lezér means "light" and so it is - in the most delicate sense. Light ruby red in colour, red berries and an interesting hint of violets on the nose. Smoke, freshly cut wood and a fine creaminess on the palate. A thoroughly fresh red wine right through to the finish, which goes well with warm weather and uncomplicated Mediterranean cuisine, especially when slightly chilled. The ageing in different containers such as amphora, cement tank and wooden barrel gives it an additional appeal and an unmistakable profile. SUPERIORE.DE

"A supple balance of redcurrants, raspberries, a hint of lavender and fresh leaves on the nose. Juicy light red cherry on the palate, very fine, rather subtle tannins and an elegant, impressively integrated acidity structure. A summer red wine for the terrace. Best enjoyed slightly chilled." Vinum

"Fresh and crunchy, with red berries, pomegranate, dried orange peel and hibiscus. Medium-bodied and dry, with crushed stone minerality. Slightly chalky in the finish." James Suckling

The grapes for Rivus come from the best Lagrein vineyards in Neumarkt and Auer, some of which are 100 years old. Rich purple red colour. Aromas of wild blackberries, tobacco, herbs and lavender. Energetic body, not too heavy, soft, silky tannins and bright acidity. Spicy and flavoursome with a juicy and lively finish. Nice ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Tart, cool and slightly ethereal herbs, also bitter almond oil and green cherry and blackberry scents. Clearly on the vegetal side with coolness, earthy spice and juniper berries. The citric acid freshness characterises the palate, extremely clear and straightforward and the opposite of a flatterer." Vinum

"Dark cherries, mulberries, rose petals and violets on the nose. Some dried herbs and cocoa, too. Juicy and blue-fruited palate with a medium body and crunchy, racy tannins. Rich but fresh and flavorful." James Suckling

Bertani's Ripasso is a true classic. The grapes come from the hills around Valpantena and from the direct Valpolicella Classico area. The production at Bertani is carried out according to the old traditional method: The young, already fermented Valpolicella wine is blended with the skins, which have dried naturally in the meantime, giving it a richer and more concentrated aroma. It then undergoes a second so-called "ripasso" fermentation, which is triggered by the yeasts that are still sufficiently present in the skins.

Intense purple with violet reflections. On the nose, numerous dark red fruits such as blackberry, currant and ripe cherry. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, which, with the slightly increased residual sweetness, results in an exciting yet dry impression. Velvety and balanced, with quite a long finish. An ideal wine for the darker months and an excellent companion for strong and aromatic dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"The original Ripasso wine would have been more of a super-charged Valpolicella than a mini Amarone, and this example is true to that type, highlighting the fresh and lighter style of the Valpantena, a long, steeply sloping valley with a particularly cool microclimate. Clean and fresh with ripe and forward cherry fruit aromas accompanied by subtle dried fruit shadings, it's zingy with positive acidity and lightly exotic fruit flavours, ending with a clean and firm finish." Decanter

The Barbera Quass from the hills of the Langhe DOC has enormous concentration and depth. Dark berries, flowers, cloves and leather on the nose, lots of spicy cherry fruit on the palate, articulate and structured, with a soft core of blackberry and exuberant acidity. Very appealing! SUPERIORE.DE

Capitel Croce is Anselmi's top white wine, made from 100% Garganega grapes and matured in old oak barrels. It opens slowly in the glass, with notes of green citrus and dusty dried flowers merging with freshly cut apricots and hints of ginger. It has a silky texture with ripe fruit and mineral notes that increase with every second. Finishes with medium length, blending young, crisp peach and inner flowers. Give this wine another year in the bottle to develop. A wine full of grace and elegance, full of finesse and complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pronounced, sparkling golden yellow colour. Pleasant aromas of ripe apricots and yellow peach on the nose, followed by a touch of marzipan and hints of tropical fruit. Round and supple on entry, stretches beautifully across the palate, with precise fruit and a lingering finish." Falstaff

"A fresh, supple white with a mineral undertone of smoke and stone that brings out the flavours of pineapple, yellow plums, pickled ginger and chive blossom. A crisp finish." Wine Spectator

"This wine puts its soul into the glass with flavours that come and go but never leave you. Notes of dried mandarin, apricot, jasmine, tarragon and savoury spice. Not to be outdone, the palate is lifted and vibrant with fresh acidity and notes of lemon oil, balanced almond and flint." Wine Enthusiast

"Citrus fruit and a hint of sweet lychee character, along with a touch of oak. Medium-bodied with a rich core of ripe, sweetish fruit. The notes of dry almonds and fresh oak in the aftertaste have a slightly deadening, phenolic effect." James Suckling

"Garganega vinified in purrezza and matured in barriques, very multi-faceted aroma, notes of yellow plums, with hints of wild mint, lemon peel and gerbera. On the palate, it is spicy and crisp, with fruity-menthol and floral-citrus notes." Luca Gardini

Strong yellow colour, elegant and fragrant bouquet of exotic fruits, peach, lemon peel, hazelnut and chalk. Medium to full-bodied with layers of ripe fruit and bright, penetrating acidity. Polished, long and delicate finish. SUPERIORE.DE

A genuine Lambrusco cru from the 15-hectare "Vigna del Cristo" vineyard, which underwent a second fermentation using the Charmat method for 3 months in pressurised tanks. Salmon pink in colour. Smells of pink grapefruit and subtle hints of raspberries. Bold, fresh, lively and dry on the palate - perfect for fans of "zero dosage". Very fine perlage that lasts a long time. Lingers for a long time with fine tart fruit. Ideal as an aperitif, with mussels, oysters and cold fish starters. SUPERIORE.DE

"The wine is characterised by a remarkably bright colour and vibrant notes of candied fruit, particularly strawberries and cranberries. On the palate, these flavours develop into a refreshing blend of lemon and raspberry notes, culminating in a bright and tangy finish." Wine Enthusiast

"A whiff of ground ginger gives way to freshly sliced pears, white cherries and hints of sweet smoke as the 2023 Lambrusco di Sorbara Leclisse slowly evolves in the glass. This wine is elegant upon entry, with a stern mineral core that adds contrast as silken bubbles carry notes of ripe melon and peach across the palate. The Leclisse cleans up beautifully, floral and perfumed yet classically dry with a slightly salty tinge that resonates." Vinous

The grapes for this single-varietal Pinot Bianco come from altitudes of up to 700 metres around the municipality of Montan. Delicate greenish-yellow in colour, with a fine bouquet of green apple, lemon, chalk and some crushed rock. Fine texture on the palate, with good structure and excellent depth. The spicy, fruity finish is characterised by precise, linear acidity and notes of pear and apple. Great and very balanced! SUPERIORE.DE

"Sliced-peach, lemon and acacia aromas here, followed by a medium-bodied, fresh palate. Fruity, with a touch of wet stone in the finish." James Suckling

Bertani's Ripasso is a true classic. The grapes come from the hills around Valpantena and from the direct Valpolicella Classico area. The original Ripasso wine would have been an overloaded Valpolicella rather than a mini Amarone, and this example is true to this type and emphasises the fresh and light style of Valpantena, a long, steeply sloping valley with a particularly cool microclimate. Bertani uses the traditional method of production: The young, already fermented Valpolicella wine is blended with the skins that have dried naturally in the meantime, giving it a richer and more concentrated flavour. It then undergoes a second so-called "ripasso" fermentation, which is triggered by the yeasts still present in the skins.

Intense purple colour with violet reflections. The bouquet is full of dark red fruits such as blackberry, redcurrant and ripe cherry. It has a delicately bitter aftertaste which, together with the slightly increased residual sweetness, creates an exciting yet dry impression. Clean and fresh, with ripe and upfront cherry flavours accompanied by subtle shades of dried fruit, it is tangy with positive acidity and slightly exotic fruit flavours and ends with a clean and firm finish. An ideal wine for the darker months and an excellent accompaniment to aromatic dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

San Leonardo's single-varietal Lagrein Rosé has a seductive pink melon colour and a captivating blend of crushed stones, wild herbs, wild berries and freshly sliced pear. It has a soft texture, energising acidity and zesty mineral notes that make the palate vibrate with excitement. The finish is dry, yet remarkably fresh with a fine minerality that leaves you wanting more. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling salmon pink colour. Pronounced nose of blood orange and grapefruit, underpinned by fine herbal spice. Direct and very present on the palate, with a fine melt and lively acidity, powerful through to the juicy finish." Falstaff

The sparkling classic from Italy's leading Prosecco winery is now certified organic. Radiant in the glass, with the scent of white flowers and fruit, extremely fine and elegant in flavour. Clean, delicate finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, youthful green-yellow colour. On the nose, baby banana, pear and a hint of lime, with fine grapey notes. Elegant tension and creamy fruit on the palate, savoury, the perlage is very well integrated, makes the tongue click, harmonious in approach and finish." Falstaff

"The NV Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore opens with a perfumed blend of sweet wildflowers, spice, hints of crushed stone and freshly sliced apples. It presents a chiseled, mineral style with zesty acidity and crunchy orchard fruits that cascade on the palate. Medium in length yet remarkably fresh, it cleans up beautifully with nuances of green melon that add a lovely mouth-watering quality." Vinous

"It is somewhat sharper and firmer, with notes of wild fennel, alpine mint and geranium. Frothy, alpine-like, long and incredibly refined." James Suckling

Straw yellow in colour, fruity and delicate aromas of mountain blossom, peach and apple. Precise and dry on the palate, taut and with a fine acidity structure that lends it freshness and lightness. SUPERIORE.DE

"A sleek, refreshing and mineral-driven white, with zesty hints of white pepper and pink grapefruit peel to the flavors of nectarine, green almond, talc and white blossoms." Wine Spectator

"A rich Pinot Grigio with green mangoes, pears, apples, spring flowers and a hint of vanilla and cream. It has a full body, a round texture and a tangy finish. Crisp and beautiful." James Suckling

Straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The fine bouquet has notes of white peach, apple and pear with an aroma of lemon blossom and hawthorn, leading to nuances of Mediterranean herbs and lemongrass. Fresh and harmonious on the palate, with a delicate salty vein and a medium fruity finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Seductive cuvée of Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Sweet violets, lavender and cloves with black raspberries in the glass. Silky and supple on the palate, with masses of ripe red and black fruit flowing over a core of vibrant acidity. Montessu maintains a fabulous balance and finishes long and powerful, yet fresh with a hint of macerated plums that won't quit. Very nice. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of dark cherries, blackberries and baking spices. Medium body with fine tannins and bright acidity. Fresh and crunchy at the center with red fruits on the palate and a lively, powdery finish." James Suckling

"A sleek, elegant red, finely knit and harmonious, with a bright thread of citrus peel acidity and a fragrant skein of ground spices and incense winding through flavors of raspberry ganache and plumped cherry fruit. Reveals hints of loamy earth and wild sage, which add a savory edge that lingers on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Dusty dried violets and lavender give way to citrus-tinged blackberries as the remarkably pretty 2021 Montessu blossoms in the glass. This is a soft and savory effort with a core of dark red fruits and salty mineral tones that slowly saturate. The 2021 finishes impressively long and staining, leaving grippy tannins that tug at the cheeks as hints of licorice fade. The Montessu is typically intended for early consumption, yet I’d recommend further cellaring to let all the pieces come together." Vinous

"Lagrein is undoubtedly one of South Tyrol's leading varieties and is currently experiencing a renaissance, particularly due to its fruity flavours paired with spicy notes and velvety tannins. This indigenous grape variety has its roots in the provincial capital of Bolzano, but has also been an integral part of the Terlan range for many decades." Rudi Kofler (cellar master Cantina Terlano)

Mario Schiopetto was born in 1930, grew up in the family-owned Osteria ai Pompieri and gained his first professional experience as a fireman and later as a lorry driver. In 1963, guided only by his taste and love of wine, he began to dedicate himself to wine production in his parents' winery and produced the first pure Tocai in 1965. At the time, the historic label featured a drawing of his fire engine, which he also used to deliver the wine to customers. With the 2019 vintage, the winery returned to these historical roots and included the cute drawing on some of its wine labels.

Schiopetto's classic, as it has been produced since 1986. Pale yellow in colour with greenish reflections. Yellow-fruity on the nose with subtle floral and herbal notes, which are also found on the palate. Multi-layered, mineral and fresh, Blanc des Rosis presents the famous grape variety identity of the region and is the classic par excellence not only for the winery. Elegant and full, it glides into an impressive final, increasing in depth and creaminess as it matures in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

"Subtle lime and sea shell with lemon curd and flint. Brine. Sea salt. Medium to full body. Tight and focused. Iodine and hints of herbs and lemon rind. Long and reserved. Complex. Minerally." James Suckling

Intense ruby red colour. On the nose, fruity notes of ripe cherries and floral notes of violets with hints of orange peel, roasted hazelnuts and sweet spices such as vanilla. Bright primary fruit and an incipient complexity on the palate. Balanced, full and lively-fresh flavour with an almost citrus-like finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Misco, the estate's second top white product and a Verdicchio matured in stainless steel, exudes an elegant bouquet of floral and aniseed notes. On the palate, it is a magnificent interplay of juice and vigour, spicy tension, fresh citrus notes and aromatic firmness. It is one of the best in its denomination every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, pale straw yellow with white-golden tendencies. Restrained on the nose, reminiscent of summer rain on hot stone, with white flowers and stone fruit. Soft fruit centre on the palate, beautiful fresh, juicy and salty notes on an above-average long finish." Falstaff

"The 2022 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco is intense, with hints of chalk dust and dried flowers that dissolve to reveal yellow apples and ginger spice. It is pleasantly round and enveloping, with an oily note that lingers over the palate with a wave of lime-flavoured nectarines. The 2022 finishes crisp and concentrated, leaving a hint of minerality and herbs." Vinous

Selvarossa has been Cantine Due Palme's top wine for well over 30 years: deep red, sweet tobacco and fruit aromas on the nose, intense and generous on the palate with flavours of dark berries, plums and chocolate, supple and fresh at the same time, plenty of density and bite on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE
