Minaia is the top vineyard of the same name in the Gavi DOCG area and the flagship of the Bergaglio winery. Bright yellow with green reflections. On the nose, fine citrus, peach, pear and almond tones, slightly reductive. On the palate, precise, clear and pure, with a lot of race and class, as befits one of the appellation's leading wines every year. The long finish is multi-layered and has a beautiful minerality. SUPERIORE.DE

The volcanic soils of Monte di Colognola give Monte Ceriani a mineral framework, a symmetrical matrix of flint and phenol in which the fruit flesh is deeply embedded. White pears, almond cream, white peach and lime. A hint of finely ground pepper. The finest silvery streaks of acidity thread the whole into a glittering carpet of light. Harmonious aroma of citrus fruits, especially grapefruit. Powerful flavour, fresh, long-lasting and accompanied by a wonderful almond/peppery mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"At first the wine smelt a little bit of marzipan and grilled pineapple. It began to build, more and more aromatic. Concentric circles of flavour and structure, bringing honeysuckle and green tea, lemongrass and baked pear, bergamot and passion-fruit flowers, and always but almost invisible in the background, a delicate savouriness of crushed almonds and roasted buckwheat. It doesn't have the taut acidity of the 2021 – instead, an almost downy softness – but the wine still has trajectory and focus. And it is still thrillingly complex." Jancis Robinson

"A tightly folded wine that promises a bright future in the medium term. Baked quinces, rusty-brown apples, tatami straw, curry powder and bitter almonds, almost like marzipan. And yet nothing is out of place. A medium-bodied Soave with the right quotient of concentration, power and freshness, and with this winning ensemble, a dazzling length. It gets even better." James Suckling

Elegant Nebbiolo from the Langhe, not hyper-concentrated, but with a wonderful clarity and finesse: Fine, warm, harmonious, with ripe fruit and flavours of dark berries, herbs and vanilla. Racy, persistent finish with well-proportioned, fresh acidity and firm tannins, beautiful balance. SUPERIORE.DE

This straw-yellow Gewürztraminer, classically vinified as a dry white wine, smells of rose, lychee, cinnamon and clove. On the palate, it impresses with aromatic and spicy fullness and a long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Brancaia's Weißer is a fresh Sauvignon Bianco made from organically certified grapes. Fruity bouquet, smooth with good acidity on the palate. Very harmonious, crisp, fresh, bright, lively and compatible with many occasions. SUPERIORE.DE

The name TRE stands for its three grape varieties Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as for its three Tuscan vineyards Maremma, Castellina and Radda in Chianti. TRE is a wine full of character that offers great drinking pleasure from an early age. Bright, medium ruby red colour. Fruity bouquet with spicy nuances, blackberry and sour cherries. The flavour is dense, powerful and soft at the same time. Wonderfully aromatic wine with the finest tannins and an elegant finish. Almost unbeatable value! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Tre is a good entry-level wine. This blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon offers a wonderful freshness and just enough seriousness to be a perfect dinner companion. The finish is brightened by floral notes. This medium-bodied wine comes from the Brancaia Chianti Classico and Maremma vineyards." Vinous

"Flavors of cherry, strawberry, sanguine, iron and Mediterranean scrub are supported by a solid structure in this red, which is balanced overall, with dusty tannins and a resonant finish." Wine Spectator

"This wine is bright and flavoursome with vibrant red fruits, dried lavender, orange peel and a hint of crushed rocks on the nose. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and dusty texture from the tannins. Crisp and lively with a peppery aftertaste." James Suckling

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. Delicate profile, floral with notes of citrus fruit, a hint of pineapple and banana. Medium body with bright acidity and lively stone fruit. Fresh flavour with a finely woven acid wire and a respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Strong ruby red colour and fresh fruity aroma. A clean, almost untouched wine that is produced entirely without the use of wood. The full, beautifully rounded taste with the slight bitter almond note in the finish is solely due to the special characteristics of the Dolcetto grape. SUPERIORE.DE

A fresh and aromatic Lugana with great personality and structure. Straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections, the bouquet has fruity notes of pear and peach. These flavours continue on the palate. An extremely pleasant white wine from the traditional Bertani house. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright yellow organic Vermentino with a small proportion of Grechetto. The idea came from Maurizio Castelli, who also advises the Barberani winery in Umbria. Maurizio Castelli creates this marvellous white wine from the Tuscan coast from a traditional, local blend based on a historical model and always picks the grapes quite late. The nose has a bright aroma of apple, pear, flint and a certain exoticism. Complex and full on the palate, the rich flavour is accompanied by an invigorating, fresh acidity right through to the long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense straw yellow colour. Pleasant aroma of ripe fruit, honey and wild herbs on the nose. Fine acidity on the palate, firm structure, great citrus notes and final lingering final." Falstaff

"This wine is waxy and citrusy with notes of dried lemons, savoury herbs and hints of tropical fruit and caramel. Juicy and racy with a medium body. Firm and a little phenolic, with crisp, energetic acidity." James Suckling

The Greco di Tufo has an intense and persistent aroma of white peach, apricot, almond oil and citrus with restrained mineral notes. The flavour is powerful, fresh and rich. A wine with character and strong typicity. SUPERIORE.DE

Merlot grapes from a mineral-rich terroir and the style of Conte Loredan Gasparini produce this wine with an unbeatable price/quality ratio. Bright garnet red colour with a slightly lighter rim.

"Ruby red with cherry-red reflections. Inviting nose of red peach and damson plum, some coffee grounds, subtle aftertaste of sealing wax. Creamy on the palate, with a fine melting texture, juicy and of medium length." Falstaff

"A fresh Nebbiolo that offers bright, raspberry-like fruit and a hint of fresh oak. Medium-bodied, the oak is well integrated into the blend and the tannins only show a slightly rough character at the end." James Suckling

Ruby red and with a typical aroma of red fruits, in which spicy aromas and light vanilla tones from the oak mingle. The dense fruit, a harmonious acidity and the velvety tannin determine the long taste of this top-class Barbera. SUPERIORE.DE

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.

The rosé from San Michele Appiano is a single-varietal Pinot Noir from selected vineyards with a predominantly southern exposure around the municipality of Appiano. A fresh, fruity, juicy and elegant rosé. And a very successful, delicate and delicately fruity Pinot Nero, one of the oldest and most valuable grape varieties in the world. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, bright salmon pink with copper-coloured reflections. Restrained on the nose, with notes of sea buckthorn, acacia honey and a hint of vanilla. Pleasantly fresh, juicy and beautifully fruity sweetness on the palate." Falstaff

"A juicy wine with vibrant acidity. Slightly cooked fruit, violets, melon and red peppers on the nose. A vibrant attack, a light to medium body and a tight palate. Good and refreshing on the finish." James Suckling

The Negroamaro grapes for the extremely delicate Calafuria come from vineyards that stretch along the Adriatic coast in Salento. The region boasts a long tradition of producing rosé wines from Negroamaro, a grape variety that best expresses its potential near the sea. Pale pink in colour, the bouquet has fruity citrus notes of grapefruit and orange blossom and hints of jasmine. Pleasantly fresh on the palate with excellent aromatic persistence and a delicate flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, sparkling apricot colour. Very fragrant and expressive nose of fresh apricots, raspberries and white flowers, also has some citrus fruit, light milk chocolate on the finish. Juicy, clear and accessible on the palate, with a dancing interplay of fruit and acidity, precise, with good length, accessible." Falstaff

"The 2023 Rosato Calafuria is simultaneously energetic and creamy, with a natural balance between tart stone fruit, ripe berries and round, almost smoky notes of candle wax and lanolin. Salty and addictive, I find myself reaching for the bottle again and again. A nice hint of mint lingers at the end. Delicious." Vinous

"The nose is all summery indulgence with watermelon and cherry blossom, cut with the freshness of pink grapefruit and salt. The palate leans into that citrusy salinity, while acid bursts overhead like a fireworks spectacular, to create a fizzy, undeniably delightful wine." Wine Enthusiast

Grillo Cavallo delle Fate exudes a spicy bouquet of ginger, nectarines and lime zest. It has a medium body with a zesty acid core that provides an energetic sensation and citrus fruits that cascade down the palate. The finish is lively and wickedly fresh, with a savoury tension that leaves the mouth wanting more. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Grillo Cavallo delle Fate is perfumed in the glass with a pretty blend of mint leaves, candied lime, chamomile and sweet smoke. It's silky-smooth yet lifted and finessed. Crisp orchard fruits and hints of sour melon are guided by brisk acidity. It leaves the palate perfectly refreshed with a crunchy staining of minerality and a chalky sensation that slowly fades. This possesses a wonderful cool-toned character imparted by the elevations and microclimate of the Regaleali estate." Vinous

"Il Rogito" - "The contract". The names of Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti's wines are reminiscent of his father's world as a notary.

Il Rogito is indeed a splendid rosé from Basilicata. Bright, shiny light red, aromas of red berries underlined with the scent of autumn leaves and spices. Fresh flavour, soft and long. It finishes classically dry with a medium length and a hint of red candy. Il Rogito is a wonderfully characterful and complex Aglianico Rosato. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red colour, appealing, slightly reductive aroma of ripe blackberries and elderberries, quite dense on the palate, certain fruit sweetness, good harmony between juicy acidity and velvety tannins, elegant finish with traces of cassis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Wonderfully fresh and perfumed, the 2021 Nero d'Avola Lamùri entices with a gorgeous blend of crushed blackberries, white pepper, violet florals and hints of wet stone. This is wonderfully fresh and energetic, with crunchy red and blue fruits elevated by juicy acidity as an air of sweet spice and lavender forms toward the close. It finishes with remarkable length and a zesty tension, leaving a licorice tone in its wake. This is a total pleasure to taste." Vinous

Bright salmon pink and fresh bouquet with notes of pineapple and peach, juicy, persistent. This elegant and delicate organic rosato made mainly from Sangiovese has the necessary melting, a very animating freshness and a cheerful soul that, with the last sip, makes you look forward to the new day immeasurably. SUPERIORE.DE

Buonsenso (common sense) is already visually impressive with its bright straw yellow colour. Attractive bouquet of wild flowers, mint, peach and green melon. The palate is refreshed by a great acid wire, rounded off by citrus and peach notes with a subtle hint of saltiness. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Catarratto Buonsenso is dusty and floral, but also a little shy, with notes of yellow apple and white flowers contrasted by a pinch of ground ginger. It opens with a touch of zesty acidity that enlivens the tart orchard fruits, while the savoury minerals saturate towards the finish. The 2023 tapers off with medium length and a youthful tension, while a hint of sour lime pinches the cheeks. This is a wonderfully balanced Catarratto." Vinous

"A vivid, juicy and driven catarratto with aromas of sliced apples, pineapple and exotic spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with fresh acidity. Textured and focused with a flavorful finish full of verve." James Suckling

Multi-layered Muscat with a fine mousseux. Citrus notes, apricot and peach on the nose and palate, rounded off with a delicate honey and mint flavour. Thanks to the fine perlage, the sweetness almost completely fades into the background, making this classic a charming, refreshing aperitif. SUPERIORE.DE

Pale pink colour with visual hints of the rosés of Provence. Subtle notes of small red fruits and rose petals on the nose. Beautiful, persistent perlage on the palate, then fresh and harmonious with a delicate berry and lime flavour. This Spumante made from 100% Pinot Nero has a noble and aristocratic appearance, never overpowering, but possessing a subtle elegance and finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

What could be better for the Italophile white wine lover than a Greco di Tufo from the hands of the esteemed Piero Mastroberardino. The aroma of white peaches, melon and citrus fruits is inviting. The flavour is generous and typical, soft and mineral, but not heavy - carried by a controlled, lively acidity. SUPERIORE.DE
