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

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

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 boasts a remarkably light hue and vibrant candied fruit tones, particularly strawberry and cranberry. On the palate, these flavors evolve into a refreshing blend of lemon and raspberry notes, culminating in a bright and zesty finish." Wine Enthusiast

An exceptionally characterful and powerful Cerasuolo di Vittoria made from equal parts Frappato and Nero d'Avola. On the nose, it displays a pure bouquet of sweet violets, black cherries and hints of wet stone. It impresses with its silky texture, enveloping the palate with bright red and blue fruits, along with a refreshing wave of juicy acidity. Hints of spiced orange and inner flowers linger long into the well-structured, long final. Perfect at the table. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh, brambly nose with hibiscus and geraniums. Crunchy and elegant on the palate with a medium body and some firm tannins that carry the red cherries and raspberries. Fresh and expressive." James Suckling

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

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

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)

There are no fixed rules at Zýmē, only the pursuit of experimentation to offer a unique and honest experience that also conveys the character of each individual vintage. Il Bianco From Black to White (sealed with a glass cork) opens with a golden colour and a whitish sheen typical of grapes that have no skin contact. The predominant grape variety is Rondinella Bianca, a mutation that was only discovered by chance in the vineyards of Zýmē and is unique in Italy.

The fresh bouquet has aromas of citrus fruits, honeydew melon, star jasmine and sour grapefruit. The palate is uniquely different, but silky and very flavoursome with a medium body, while ripe apples and nectarines are stimulated by juicy acidity and a hint of green citrus fruit. The tension builds with each successive glass, a slightly tropical note is added in the final, together with salty minerals and lingering spice, From Black to White also clearly expresses its deserved place in Celestino Gaspari's exceptional portfolio, because it is a white gem full of character and purity! SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich straw yellow with green reflections. Seductive, intense aroma of mandarins and jasmine on the nose, with some rose and elderflower in the background. Clear and precise on the palate, harmonious, animating, well-integrated acidity, some fleur de sal on the lingering final." Falstaff

"The 2020 Il Bianco From Black to White wafts up, sweetly floral with candied citrus, raw almond and vanilla bean. It soothes with a soft textural wave of ripe orchard fruits as lime zest adds a reverberation of tension. The 2020 tapers off spicy and crisp, leaving cooling mineral tones and an almost crunchy sensation. Always unique and consistently one of the best values from the Zymé portfolio." Vinous

Bright straw-yellow Goldmuskateller from an extremely steep, sun-drenched slope with warm, loamy limestone gravel soils. Delicate scent of grapefruit, nutmeg and cedar wood. On the palate, finely fruity, juicy, tart, mineral and with a long-lasting aroma. 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

The first alcoholic fermentation of the must takes place in steel vats on the fine lees at a controlled temperature and after a waiting period of at least six months, the wine is bottled. The bottles remain at a constant temperature of 12°C so that the wine can undergo its second fermentation and mature on its own yeasts, which remain at the bottom of the bottle as a light sediment (note: it is not filtered!).

An animating cherry red colour with violet reflections and a yeasty cloudiness due to the lack of filtration. A surprisingly cheeky nose of wild strawberry and redcurrant, very fresh and accessible. The palate is vibrant with lots of raspberry and traces of rhubarb, the exciting interplay is flanked by delicate yeast tones and a wonderfully present acidity and ensures an impressive race and class that only the Lambrusco grandmaster Christian Bellei can conjure up in the bottle! SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red with violet reflections. Ripe wild berries, some honey and beeswax on the nose, also subtly reminiscent of apricots and aniseed. Makes room on the palate, shows firm pressure and juicy berry fruit, fresh and exciting, then a little rough and warming on the final." Falstaff

"This refined red wine has a dark core of ripe black plums, mulberries and sun-dried black cherries, supported by a lively acidity. Medium-bodied and balanced, with a fruit profile that is surrounded by fine, taut tannins and notes of bay leaf, black liquorice, minerals and sandalwood." Wine Spectator

Integral, which means zero dosage or Brut Nature, celebrated its premiere with the 2018 vintage. And the name says it all: this Prosecco from the core zone of Valdobbiadene is a 100% Glera sparkling wine of unadulterated quality. It is the successful result of years of experimentation to vinify a fruity and complex Prosecco with minimal residual sweetness. Straw yellow colour with crystalline reflections. Light, fine-pored and persistent perlage. Fresh and mineral on the nose, with pronounced notes of white fruit. Dancing, smooth and wonderfully dry on the palate. An unmistakable sparkling wine that could not be more complex, exciting or original. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, very clear silver colour. A nose of tropical fruit, mango and pineapple, with subtle hints of candied mango, savoury. Likewise on the palate, with great fruit expression, juicy, with well-integrated perlage, accessible, drinks very well." Falstaff

Valpolicella Superiore Case Vecie is made mainly from Corvina and Corvinone grapes. It takes its name from the vineyard of the same name in Grezzana, where the ripening of the grapes is subject to strong temperature fluctuations between day and night: a climatic peculiarity that gives the wine a special spiciness on the nose and a completely unique polyphenol profile. Bright ruby red in colour with notes of cherries, vanilla and spices. Beautiful fruit and acidity on the palate, wonderfully balanced body. Juicy and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium carmine red colour. A little Amarone-like with dried dark cherries, as if it had walked over the skins of Amarone. A hint of dried fruit. Peppery and with a hint of oak. No doubt, we are in Valpolicella. Smooth and generous without being heavy. Such a pleasant wine." Jancis Robinson

"The Valpolicella Superiore Case Vecie 2021 is particularly floral and airy, with a lively bouquet of dusty roses, dried strawberries and a hint of sour orange. It is a paragon of purity, with crisp red berry fruit and tactile mineral notes accompanied by juicy acidity. The 2021 finishes incredibly fresh, revealing a pleasant, crisp tannin as the tart cherry notes slowly fade away. The Valpolicella Superiore Case Vecie from a single vineyard is simply stunning and is produced without the appassimento process." Vinous

"This producer is one of the best of the region, opting for a more traditional approach. This ups the ante. Exotic notes of orange peel, cloves, tamarind, cardamom and sweet red currants, with some hints of partially dehydrated grapes. Good, sappy length." James Suckling

"This Valpolicella rises from the glass with fresh aromas of wild cherries and red plums that give way to violets, rosemary and fresh earth. The palate is bright with ripe red berries, allspice, vanilla, black tea and sweet and savoury spices, finishing with an electric acidity that refreshes the palate after every sip." Wine Enthusiast
