This very typical Sauvignon bianco grows on glacial limestone soils at an altitude of up to 900 metres. Bright lemon yellow colour. Intense, well-articulated nose of gooseberry, kiwi, lemon curd and lilac. Medium pressure on the palate, creamy texture with balanced acid wire, great fruit components with hints of paprika and green papaya. A taut minerality emerges on the finish, ending with flint and dried lemon peel. A typical Sauvignon bianco with everything that delights the heart. Medium-bodied, flavoursome and a bright, fruity finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Grosso Agontano Riserva rises dark, floral and earthy from the glass, with notes of undergrowth and tobacco that fade into blackberry and crushed stone. Its velvety texture leads to a sophisticated presentation of red and black fruits, underpinned by cool herbal notes, while the fine tannins slowly saturate towards the end. The finish is long, youthfully structured and with a pleasant inner sweetness, while nuances of tangerine and sour cherry linger under a hint of violet blossom.

Agontano is a 100% Montepulciano that is refined in barriques in the second passage. It is a very attractive interpretation of the grape variety and still needs some time in the cellar to show its best side. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark shiny purple red colour, fine rim. Spicy bouquet of juniper and sweet cherries, followed by leather and a hint of espresso in the finish. Silky texture on the palate, savoury fruit clothed in chocolate, with firm tannins and gentle pressure." Falstaff

"The Conero Riserva Agontano 2020 is dark and intense. A cascade of violet flowers and lavender gives way to crushed blackberries accompanied by hints of cocoa and camphor. The wine is soft and enveloping, with polished red and black fruits accompanied by lively acidity. Fine tannins build slowly towards the end. The Agontano leaves behind chalky mineral tones and a bitter espresso note that lingers until the long and structured final. The 2020 is complex and beautifully balanced, but also very young. We will have to be patient." Vinous

Bright light greenish yellow, fragrant bouquet of meadow flowers, a hint of apple, acacia honey and biscuits. Fine on the palate and very complex with its fine, fresh fruit flavours and a delicate, salty note on the full finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, shiny silver-grey with olive-green reflections and numerous fine pearls. Initially somewhat shy on the nose, then opens up to yellow apple, light almond notes and subtle floral nuances. On the palate with a fine-grained perlage and a certain juiciness, underpinned by a slight bitter note, appears very yellow-fruity." Falstaff

"An intriguing fruity-floral odeur characterises this excellent single-vineyard wine; a creamy texture, carried by the rich acidity, juicy and harmonious until the long final." Vinum

"The 2023 Valdobbiadene Vigneto Giardino Rive di Colbertaldo Asciutto is delicate yet remarkably pretty, wafting up with a cascade of floral perfumes and hints of sweet spice, peach sorbet and nectarine. It floods the palate with a creamy bead of fine bubbles and ripe orchard fruits, all guided by brilliant acidity as a nuance of candied citrus informs the close. Notes of green apple, melon and a sensation of liquid stone appear as the 2023 finishes with amazing length and complexity. This is fantastic." Vinous

Markus Prackwieser's Sauvignon vines grow on calcareous moraines with solid quartz porphyry at the foot of the Schlern massif, approx. 400-480 metres above sea level. Sparkling, light straw yellow colour. Very intense, appealing nose of tomato leaves, sage, a little thyme and white asparagus. Salty and freshly vibrant on the palate, densely woven, showing distinctly fragrant components, fine gooseberry, juicy and full of tension. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with green reflections. Razor-sharp, green-aromatic nose of gooseberries and exotic fruits such as mango and papaya. Some fruit sweetness on the palate, taut and clear, good acidity structure, an animating wine with medium length and a finely spicy finish." Falstaff

Montegrossi's Chianti Classico remains true to the estate's style every year with its deep violet colour and initially youthful, reductive nose. On the palate, it shows its potential with a fascinating build-up of tension and fresh fruit of black cherries and blackberries. The supple tannins are refined and polished, but it's the juicy, savoury notes and tangy acidity that really make the wine sing. An energetic classic of the appellation, whose average it surpasses every year. Great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Chianti Classico is fabulous - one of the best of the year. A burst of dark red/purple fruit, lavender, spice, rose petals and mint race across the palate. Deep, complex and wonderfully sexy - the 2022 is simply irresistible." Vinous

"A rich, dense style with flavours of cherries, raspberries and blackberries, with a hint of black pepper, while assertive tannins and lively acidity support the wine. It's balanced, if a little extracted, with a nice length." Wine Spectator

"This juicy, well-balanced Chianti Classico delivers fresh, vibrant red berry and cherry fruit with touches of white pepper and hibiscus. Quite firm and juicy, with nicely chewy tannins and a dainty, succulent finish. Effortlessly drinkable, but will also hold well for the next few years." James Suckling

Terlaner Cuvée (formerly Terlaner Classico) is the wine that best embodies the identity and personality of this iconic agricultural co-operative in South Tyrol. Since its founding in 1893, it has been closely linked to the history of the winery like no other wine. Since the 2013 vintage, the grapes have been sourced from selected vineyards in the Vorberg, Kreuth and Winkl vineyards. Aromas of tropical and passion fruit, peach, pear and sweet almonds are surrounded by a salty, mineral vein and give this wonderfully juicy white wine finesse and the pure character typical of Terlan. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fine nose, more characterised by Pinot Blanc, with fresh stone fruit such as pears and apricots, meadow flowers. Very juicy on the palate, enveloped in an elegant melting texture with hints of herbs and a salty, melting finish." Weinwisser

"Sparkling straw yellow with green reflections. Delicately scented with beeswax, followed by pear and white flowers. Clear and precise on the palate, retronasal with notes of herbs, fine melting and medium pressure, salty, slender final." Falstaff

"This fresh, mineral white wine offers both expression and restraint, with a fine interplay between the well-cut acidity and flavours of yellow peach, glazed mandarin, pink grapefruit, green almond, jasmine and ground white pepper. Long and delicious, with a savoury note that cleanses the fragrant finish." Wine Spectator

"Lots of fresh flowers, lime, sliced apple and honeysuckle on the nose with notes of candied lemon and heather. Full-bodied with a slight phenolic tension, rich with lots of citrus peel and minerals on the finish. Concentrated and fresh." James Suckling

Medium straw yellow with silver reflections. Nuances of light peach, yellow pear and salted lemon on the nose, with a background of lime blossom. Great freshness, juiciness and good length on the palate, with a mineral final. SUPERIORE.DE

"As the 2023 Etna Bianco Contrade Nuove opens in the glass, a whiff of sweet spice gives way to freshly sliced yellow apples and pears. This flows across the palate like liquid stone, mixing ripe orchard fruits and melon tones across a stream of cooling acidity. It leaves a coating of tactile minerality and shavings of lime while finishing with staining length and a cheek-puckering citrus twang. The 2023 turns the pleasure dials to the max." Vinous

Sansonina (Lugana and Merlot) is a strictly limited and very ambitious project by the Zenato family, in which only the best grapes from their own vineyards are used. Only a small number of these are sold in numbered bottles each year.

This spontaneously fermented Lugana from the Sansonina winery is a masterpiece with a broad aroma of exotic fruits. In addition to the intense fruit, there is enough room on the palate for a fine minerality and freshness. It is undisputedly one of the most serious Lugana wines we know. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, light straw yellow colour. Shows some greenish notes of basil and marjoram on the nose, followed by green peach and yeast. Lots of juicy peach fruit on the palate, some apricot, nice bite on the final." Falstaff

Sessantanni (60 years old) comes from vines at least as old and impresses with a deep garnet red colour and visibly high concentration. The bouquet is reminiscent of a rum pot, with beautiful primary and secondary aromas of black fruit and woody spice. The palate is dense, smooth, jammy and gently tannic. Long and sweet on the finish. Unique in its opulence and density and undisputedly one of Puglia's favourite reds. SUPERIORE.DE

"This bold and rich wine has intense aromas of mushrooms, currants, roasted cherries and cinnamon. It’s full-bodied with herbal undertones to the dried-fruit sweetness. Medium-chewy tannins match the flavor intensity." James Suckling

The "Buchholz" valley slopes above Salurn in the South Tyrolean lowlands were already documented in the historical cadastral cartography of 1858. This impressive Chardonnay comes from this terraced area of dolomite sedimentary rock at an altitude of 400 to 800 metres above sea level.

Greenish yellow, with a bouquet of banana and pineapple, sliced apple and wild herbs. Very juicy on the palate, inviting and stimulating to drink with its pretty palette of fruity flavours, fine minerality and a certain herbaceousness. The fullness in the mouth is very pleasant, the personality and length are a lot of fun even at a young age. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has praline, apricot, lemon curd and mango crumble on the nose. Some vanilla, too. It’s medium-bodied, creamy and pretty with sweet stone fruit." James Suckling

Watch out, or even better - don't be afraid of the wolf: Attenti al Lupo is the exciting result of a new project by Podere le Ripi, which is specifically exploring new possibilities in the vineyard and cellar to find solutions to climate change, which is now putting all farmers and winegrowers to the test.

To this end, Sangiovese clones were identified that adapt better to the changing conditions. Vineyards were also selected that are mainly located on alluvial soils, where an earlier harvest tends to be possible. During vinification, carbonic maceration of the whole grapes (with the stems) takes place over 10 days in closed stainless steel tanks, which gives the wine a portion of acidity and crisp flavours even in its youth, giving it a great deal of freshness, dynamism and liveliness.

The result is a bright red and very flavourful wine, slender and straightforward in the mouth, with a very fruity nose that is typical of the type of fermentation. This is followed by a pronounced minerality and an exciting, delicately bitter note in the aftertaste. Ideal with roasted meat, mature cheese and first courses. SUPERIORE.DE

The antithesis of this wine is the grape varieties and their processing. 60% Merlot and 40% Sangiovese from completely different terroirs are blended here to make a wine that is produced using both traditional (Merlot) and modern (Sangiovese) appassimento methods. Part of the Sangiovese grapes are dried before pressing, which makes the wine deeper, more velvety and fruitier.

Deep ruby colour with violet reflections. Spicy aroma with notes of black pepper and tobacco and beautiful, very present cherry fruit. Warm and enveloping on the palate, with good glycerin and great harmony. The fruit centre is enveloped by fresh tannins that give it structure and good ageing potential. A modern wine, but never modernistic in its clearly recognisable Zerbina style. SUPERIORE.DE

Excellent Langhe Nebbiolo. Garnet red colour, pronounced aroma of ripe cherries, raspberries, dried rose petals and wild berries. The very juicy yet cool and elegant flavour shows silky yet solid flanking tannins and harmonious acidity. A profound red with plenty of vigour at an excellent price. SUPERIORE.DE

Dolcetto d'Alba Coste & Fossati is one of the most sought-after wines in the appellation every year. A very dark violet-coloured wine with a bouquet of roasted almonds, cherries, tar and chocolate. Voluminous, long and rich on the palate, velvety and juicy with a subtle sweetness and an impressive, gripping texture. Already a pleasure today and undoubtedly a great experience in a few years' time. SUPERIORE.DE

Senes, a Riserva made from 100% Cannonau, has an intense bouquet of aromas of wild berries, Mediterranean herbs and tobacco. Full-bodied and "umami" on the palate with profound fruit, rounded tannins, balanced structure and beguiling length. Very straightforward, fresh and sincere in style. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, shimmering ruby red colour with a light rim. Hearty and inviting nose of red plum, lilac and blackberry, some leather in the aftertaste. Rolls silky over the tongue, sweet and generous with firm tannins and above-average length." Falstaff

"A youthful character with notes of ripe raspberries and white pepper. Medium-bodied with refreshing acidity, firm chalky tannins and a dry but balanced finish that shows richness." James Suckling

"Our Langhe Nebbiolo is a great introduction to this prestigious grape variety, but also an absolute delight for those who already know it well and are looking for a balanced and authentic expression of Nebbiolo." Franco Massolino

Bright garnet red colour. Delicate, dark bouquet of raspberry and violet, with fine notes of rose petals and damp forest floor after further aeration. Full and rich on the palate, good harmony of power and elegance, paired with fresh acidity and length. Good ageing potential. Goes wonderfully with savoury sausage and meat dishes - you simply have to love it! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with brightening edges. Raspberry, sour cherry and sage on the nose, with blood orange peel and some sealing wax on the finish. Youthful on the palate with beautiful juiciness, the finish is reminiscent of eucalyptus." Falstaff

"Its secret is finesse and elegance, almost noblesse. A white wine with a delicate colour and delicate aromas, perfect for festive occasions." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

Réserve della Contessa" becomes "La Contessa" - the feminine wine. Delicate, shimmering colour with a fresh, elegant bouquet of green apple, ripe apricot and a hint of sage. Dense, long and with a fine melt on the palate. The finish is long, ripe and juicy, with apple and lime. Rare noblesse! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, radiant golden yellow colour. Inviting bouquet with notes of blossom honey, ripe melon and hints of mango and passion fruit. Fresh acidity on the palate, juicy and with a sweet fruit flavour that lingers into the finish." Falstaff

"A tangy white with minerals, pears and lemons. Beautiful acidity and tautness on the palate, with a medium to full body and a delicious finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes." James Suckling

"Burdigai" is Ligurian dialect and means shrubs of the Mediterranean maquis. From a small and isolated terrace facing west, surrounded by Mediterranean shrubs, comes this truly original Rosato, which should not actually exist. Because the grape variety is unknown, it is alternatively called "Franseise" because it apparently comes from the south of France and not even the owners know the exact origin and age, nor do they know who planted the vines there in the first place. Nevertheless, the vines have been cultivated and cared for over decades and at some point the family council decided to press an independent rosé from them.

Intense coral pink, fine and original bouquet of pink grapefruit, raspberry and strawberry with subtle mineral notes. Very dry in the mouth, floral, with lively acidity and pronounced spiciness. Characteristic is the mineral-chalky impression at the back of the palate, which prolongs the wine's originality and tension. The lasting impression left by this exciting and full-bodied and pleasantly purist Rosato is a blend of elegance, finesse and uncompromisingness that is second to none. SUPERIORE.DE

Etna Rosso comes from the Torreguarino and Pietramarina vineyards on Etna. Bright, sparkling ruby red colour with a transparent core. Fine spicy notes, pepper and small red berries on the nose, notes of ripe raspberries on the palate. Dense, with lots of fruit and compact tannins. Elegant, yet fresh and racy and very authentic. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light tannins are crisp and fine in this bright red that defines a pure note of crushed raspberry with a hint of pomegranate puree, supported by accents of blood orange peel, dried lavender and tarry smoke that ends in a creamy finish." Wine Spectator

"The sunny, floral nose shows aromas of roses, hibiscus, cherries and strawberries, along with balancing undertones of salt and stone. On the palate, a hint of orange peel underlines the cherry and strawberry flavours, while the tannins leave a powerful, invigorating impression." Wine Enthusiast

"The Etna Rosso 2022 presents itself with an airy bouquet of rosy flowers, lavender and exotic spices. It opens with a pretty inner sweetness and soft textures as wild strawberries and blueberries swirl. It tapers off with a hint of crisp minerality and a violet finish, revealing a tart blackberry note towards the end." Vinous

"Vivid and lively, this has aromas of dark cherries, watermelon and a hint of lemons following through to a medium body with integrated tannins and crunchy fruit at the end. Energetic and focused." James Suckling

The extremely elegant Langhe Nebbiolo from Pio Cesare is a nuanced, bright wine. Fruits, orange peel, spices and flowers on the nose. On the palate, beautifully round and full of energy with good potential. SUPERIORE.DE

This well-balanced Dolcetto from Chiara Boschis is rich and fruity. Violet red in colour, with a nose of blackberry, candied cherries and some stewed plums. A soft fullness on the palate with wonderfully fresh acidity, its medium-bodied flavour makes it an indispensable accompaniment to light meat dishes and pasta. SUPERIORE.DE

Forget everything you think you know about rosé. The grapes for this masterpiece come from four different vineyards, one of which, Madonna degli Angeli, is home to vines aged 45-90 years. Rosa del Rosa is the archetype of complexity and aromatic density, while at the same time being supple and elegant. Maximum harmony and complexity on the palate; fine red berries and orange fruit paired with a certain sharpness and saltiness lead to a polished and never-ending finish. In terms of personality and exceptionality, this rosato is one of our great favourites every year. Don't miss it! SUPERIORE.DE

Vibrant dark fruit, minerals, rosemary, menthol and spices are just some of the flavours that flow harmoniously in this wine. The balance and elegance of this red are simply exceptional - from the first sip to the final. SUPERIORE.DE

The name "Conus" comes from the Latin term for cone and refers to the Margreider Schuttkegel and its gentle slopes. The dolomitic limestone present there is an important prerequisite for the fruity and round character of this impressive red in Riserva quality. Cherry red with ruby reflexes. Intense bouquet of plum, liquorice and cocoa. In the body powerful, precise and balanced, then in the final beautiful tannins, a sympathetic juiciness and nice length. SUPERIORE.DE
