Sparkling salmon pink with orange-coloured reflections. Strong aroma of wild berries, yeast and fine bread and yeast flavours. Powerful on the palate, with crisp fruit and perlage, very complex and lively freshness, fine tannins, salty-mineral notes and a very respectable, dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"First produced in 1972, Maximum Rosé has a long history. Short skin contact of 10-12 hours gives a wine with red and black cherry hints along with some wild strawberry and a hint of cream. Intense in the mouth and slightly creamy, it features red fruit flavours accompanied by some freshening salinity and a touch of tannic structure. There's ripe sweetness at the core, and a fresh, long finish." Decanter

Piedmontese rarity. Rich straw yellow colour with green reflections. Approx. 10% white Nebbiolo gives this Chardonnay the ultimate kick to create an exceptional wine. Herbal spice, finely integrated wood and delicate smoky notes enveloped by a citrus flavour and paired with well-balanced acidity round off this powerful yet highly elegant experience. Great Storage potential - this wine gets better every year and is one of our absolute favourites in the entry-level Roagna range! SUPERIORE.DE

This grappa is made from the marcs of the famous Bordeaux blend Capo di Stato. Fresh and clear with a slightly peppery bouquet and hints of spices and berries. The aromatic components continue on the palate with finesse until the elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very fruity nose, of cherries and raspberries, wild strawberries, flowers in the finish, very fresh. Opens up in the mouth on pear flavours, melting, slightly sweet, well integrated alcohol, very long finish." Falstaff

Here comes Stella, a beautiful Metodo Classico made from 100% Chardonnay, whose name comes from Barbara's daughter Nina - she always called the fine bubbles in the sparkling wine "stars". Clear bouquet with subtle aromas of fresh brioche and almond notes. On the palate, this dry sparkling wine is filigree, pointed and with a first-class, fine perlage and very good length. SUPERIORE.DE

Excellent Pinot Grigio, matured in small wooden barrels. Strong straw yellow colour, fruity aroma of apple, pear and fine vanilla, strong character in taste with pleasantly gentle acidity, strength and fullness. Pinot Grigio Sanct Valentin has been convincing for decades and is always one of the highest-rated Pinot Grigio wines in Italy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Comets light up, follow their orbit and burn up. Some last for years, others only a few moments. They leave an impression and can indicate a certain direction that guides us in our everyday work. Experimentation, innovation and playing with components are at the forefront of comets. Each of our comets is unique, like a fingerprint. The labels of each individual bottle are customised: A comet's tail, painted on with a finger." Clemens Lageder

Clemens Lageder told us: "We were in for a surprise when processing the grapes from this Porer component. When the grapes were tipped, a significant proportion of botrytis berries was found in many of the grapes. The wine was nevertheless bottled. As the wine matured, we got to know and appreciate it more and more. This is how our understanding developed: From initial rejection and uncertainty to appreciation of the influence of noble rot on Pinot Gris. Most of this component became part of the 2020 Porer Pinot Grigio, while we left a small part aside and created this comet." Just 632 bottles of the PIPO TRY comet were filled ... SUPERIORE.DE

Korem is a wine that perfectly interprets the philosophy of the Argiolas family: Innovation with deep respect for Sardinian tradition. A wine born from the desire to enhance and perfect the Bovale grape. Bovale is a low-yielding grape variety, as it requires well-ventilated soils with excellent exposure.

Korem radiates a deep ruby red colour from the glass. Intense aromas of black cherry, sandalwood and lavender on the nose. Velvety, full-bodied, warm and round on the palate. A refined top wine that impressively reflects the great potential of the family winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of leather, graphite, Mediterranean herbs and blood oranges. Full-bodied with a dense palate, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. Graphite and almost fleshy notes. Very juicy finish and pleasantly chewy tannins. Warming and yet balanced." James Suckling

IbBianco is a blend of Vermentino and Grechetto and smells wonderfully of candied apricot and peach. Elegance and finesse in the powerful fruity and complex taste, which lasts long and with a certain coolness and pleasant freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Blanc Sanct Valentin - a lively and powerful top wine made from grapes from single vineyards with minimal yields. Golden yellow with green reflections, velvety soft aromas of apple, melon and vanilla on the nose; complex flavour, fresh and elegant with mineral finesse and a delicately bitter finish. Good ageing and Storage potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with light white gold reflections. Clear, fruity, inviting nose of local fruit, clearly yellow plum and mirabelle mixed with floral accents. Juicy mouthfeel with a nutty touch and well-integrated acidity, fresh, pleasant, long finish." Falstaff

"A creamy, flavorful pinot bianco showing white fruit and a touch of sour cream. Medium- to full-bodied with a flavorful center palate and a pretty lengthy finish." James Suckling

The four wines resulting from the collaboration between Dolce & Gabbana and Donnafugata show attention to detail and unconditional love for Sicily. They are the perfect expression of two top companies "Made in Italy". They represent the aesthetic fusion of craftsmanship, creativity and Sicilian passion. Together, they have created a unique collection of wines and packaging that emotionally capture Sicilian culture and lifestyle and express a clear commitment to the beauty and tradition of Sicily.

Straw yellow in colour with golden reflections. Refined aromas of citrus fruit and lemon peel, rounded off by fruity hints of yellow apple and Mediterranean herbs. Very soft on the palate with a fascinating elegance, a fine volcanic minerality becomes apparent as the wine progresses. Great ageing potential! SUPERIORE.DE

The rich garnet-red Pelago in Riserva quality made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano and small amounts of Merlot has a captivating aroma of raspberries, strawberry jam, cloves, tobacco and mocha. On the palate, it reveals a noble spiciness and a hearty, juicy and very long flavour. Pelago 2019 should turn out to be a real charmer after some ageing. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light ruby red colour with a garnet-red hue. Rum pot, rich black cherry and ripe plums on the nose, then slightly spicy. Fruity-sweet, juicy, drinky on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a long final." Falstaff

"Lush fruit that presents the blue-black fruit, Napeta spice and ink dust of a ripe Cabernet and the velvety red plum of a Montepulciano. A hint of cigar smoke pervades the long, fine-grained, slightly chunky tannins. A hint of freshly gathered wild mushrooms, a touch of pine needles, and then the finish is deep and lush and juicy red soaked with Montepulciano fruit. Modern and international, but stylish, and the Montepulciano from Le Marche shines through." Jancis Robinson

"This blend is a rich, dense and concentrated wine that shows well today or will age in the cellar. It opens with Cabernet leading the way with aromas of blackberry, cassis and tobacco as hints of savory herbs and spice quickly follow. Concentrated but with a lift, the palate shows power with some restraint as flavors of plum, coffee and liquorice all seamlessly meld together on the long and savory finish." Wine Enthusiast

"A pleasant, fruity red wine with the character of blackcurrants and blackberries and a lovely mineral freshness. Medium-bodied with excellent balance and non-distracting tannins. It radiates clarity and drinkability. Very well made." James Suckling

"The Pelago 2019 seduces with a beguiling blend of crushed plums, sage and tobacco, underpinned by sweet smoke. This is pure elegance, silky and enveloping with cooling acidity to balance. A wave of polished red and blue fruit flows easily across the palate. Tart blackberries and a hint of citrus resonate as the 2019 finishes long and powerful, with a hint of minerality that leaves a crisp feel as a layer of fine-grained tannins tug at the cheeks. This wine is still very young, but full of potential." Vinous

A fine and extremely affordable little Supertuscan from a very good house. Ruby red, it spreads a pleasantly fresh scent of red berries. Its fruity taste is round, very harmonious and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

"An expressive and fruity wine made from Sangiovese and Merlot with aromas of red cherries, currants, berries and nutmeg. The palate is crisp and medium-bodied with soft tannins and juicy red berries. Pristine, medium length finish full of berry fruit." James Suckling

"Bright ruby red with delicate rim lightenings. In the nose compact, ripe red currant and sour cherry, behind it some dark chocolate. Harmonious in the mouth, delicate melting, rich tannin, animating acidity, spicy final." Falstaff

Medium ruby red. Opens with ripe fruit notes of redcurrants, wild cherries and dried raspberries, then grilled herbs and liquorice in the background. This Rosso is more powerful and opulent than many of its competitors, almost reaching the intensity of a Brunello. Nevertheless, the aromas are more precise than one would expect from a young red wine. The delicate tannin has reached a certain stage of maturity and finds a lively ally in the well-proportioned acidity, which keeps the flavour development going for all eternity. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright ruby red colour. Warm, balsamic bouquet of black cherry, some plum and blackcurrant syrup, then firm, complex and spicy on the palate, the fruit beautifully present and with a wonderfully long finish with notes of leather and sweet tobacco. The well-structured tannins perfectly round off the overall picture of a serious red with personality and character. The 20/24-month ageing in French oak barrels (25-35 hl), followed by a further year in the bottle, enriches the aromatic complexity of the wine with a clear focus on balance and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour. Plum and Amarena cherries on the nose, with elderberries and mint, reminiscent of roasted apple. Juicy, radiant on the palate, spreads over the tongue with great play and lots of tension, slightly salty, finesse-rich and long finish." Falstaff

"A 100% expression of Sangiovese, the Rocca delle Macìe 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva SerGioveto shows hints of baked plum, candied fruit and spice with dusty mineral and good overall definition." Wine Advocate

"The nose layers soil and pencil shavings on top of strawberries and cherries and then chocolate and coffee, before the palate luxuriates in chocolate-cherry notes with a texture that's dense and velvety but maintains its integrity with angular tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Subtle and complex aromas of red berries, mushrooms, blood orange and nutmeg. A medium-bodied Chianti Classico, showing dusty tannins and juicy, savory berry fruit on the palate. Silky and effortless." James Suckling

"Rich, laced with cherry, raspberry, earth and underbrush flavors. Revealing weighty, well-integrated tannins, this is balanced overall and tightens up on the finish." Wine Spectator

The grapes for Carluccio "Carlo" Negri, named after the winery's authoritative pioneer, come from vineyards in the DOC and DOCG areas of Valtellina on the slopes of the Rhaetian Alps along the right bank of the Adda River. The sfursat, world-famous for the region, is produced by the natural drying of the grapes, favoured by the cool and dry winds from the mountains. In the "fruttaio", the fruit shed, they lose almost 30% of their weight during this process. The result is therefore a unique Nebbiolo: rich and intense, with the typical mineral and fresh character of Alpine wines.

Medium ruby red. Concentrated, complex bouquet with notes of ripe berry fruits, cyclamen and spices like black pepper and cinnamon. Dry on the palate, with beautiful dark primary fruit with firm tannins that are tart when young. Further on, full-bodied, persistent, with a long finish and subtle hints of cloves and liquorice. Harmonious, too, its fresh acidity, which will make it vibrant and exciting, especially after further years of ageing, one of the best wines of the appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

"A energetic Valtellina with cherry and floral aromas and flavors that are highlighted with hints of vanilla and bitter citrus. Full-bodied with round tannins that are soft and velvety and plenty of ripe fruit that remains fresh, focused and intense." James Suckling

Pushing the limits!

The Vernatsch variety is part of South Tyrol's culture and an important component of the country's red wine varieties. The grape variety is often hastily dismissed as too simple and often gets little time in the cellar. This Vernatsch has had time to develop. NATSCH4 is a vintage blend of the four vintages 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The grapes of the wines come from the oldest parcel of the famous Vernatsch site RÖMIGBERG. The four wines are vinified on the skins and whole clusters for different lengths of time. SUPERIORE.DE

"The NV Natsch4 (a blend of four vintages of Schiava) bursts from the glass with an intense mix of crushed raspberries and black cherries complemented by autumnal spices and shaved cedar. This is zesty in nature, with tart wild berry fruits offset by stimulating acidity and sour citrus. It tapers off a bit shorter than anticipated yet leaves the mouth watering for more, as a bitter yet subtle twang of nectarine punctuates the finale. The Natsch4 does impress, yet it will be best served alongside a meal." Vinous

Maso Michei is located high up in a secluded mountain world in southern Trentino. There, the vines thrive at an altitude of 790 to 850 metres on a sun-drenched south-facing slope in unspoilt nature. In this remarkable location for viticulture, the vines grow slowly and the grapes ripen late. With the acquisition of the 13-hectare Maso Michei vineyard in the Valle dei Ronchi above Ala, Martin Foradori Hofstätter has returned to the roots of his ancestors in Trentino.

Martin also has a small plot of Chardonnay vines here. From this, he produces a heavenly sparkling wine that is aged on the lees for 48 years using the Champagne method. Elegant, fine and persistent perlage, on the palate it shows aromatic nuances of citrus fruits, yellow pulp and hints of bread, very successful! SUPERIORE.DE

Long Now is still a real insider tip for us. Dark ruby colour. Opulent nose with notes of black cherry, smoke, tobacco and liquorice. The palate is full of tension with a breadth and power that is unrivalled. In this exceptional wine, Barbera and Nebbiolo merge into a spectacular blend that is rich, powerful and has a beautiful, long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Long Now, Pelissero's Barbera/Nebbiolo blend, is fabulous. The combination of inky, jammy Barbera fruit and Nebbiolo structure works so well here. Inky dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, spice, new leather, licorice and lavender saturate the palate." Vinous

Ceretto's Langhe Rosso Monsordo is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah with fruit from 11 hectares in the Langa area. It penetrates areas never addressed by Ceretto's master grape, Nebbiolo. Monsordo tries to give answers to questions that are rarely asked in the Langa, and he answers them with fine sweetness, fullness and pure extraction.

Monsordo opens with a dark and impenetrable appearance. Dark cherries and blackberries merge with sweet tobacco and exotic spices. Its aromas are heady, determined and intense, especially in this vintage. A very exotic and punchy wine for the Langhe, it virtually comes out of nowhere and leaves a strong impression. SUPERIORE.DE

Mandrone di Lohsa is a supple wine, with a soft, feminine structure. Fruity berry aromas, herbs, spices and a warm woody note on the nose. Round, full and rich in dark red fruits on the palate. Very pleasant and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very fresh and fine tannined cabernet with a medium body, caressing texture and a flavorful finish. Better in 2024 but already impressive." James Suckling

The grapes from vines over 35 years old give this dense Primitivo strength and finesse. Deep dark in colour, the bouquet has strong nuances of sour cherry, ripe plum and dark jam, with chocolate and coffee aromas in the background. The pronounced fruity flavours continue in the full-bodied taste. Soft and sweetly melting, balanced and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, bright ruby red colour. Fragrant on the nose with fine hints of milk chocolate and malt, dried rose petal, rich cherry fruit and strawberry, tobacco. On the palate with grippy tannins, deep and rich." Falstaff

Cherry pink in colour with a brilliant core. The bouquet is delicate and lightly toasted, of hazelnuts and cherries, forest fruits, delicate tea nuances. Very fruity on the palate, opens on ripe raspberry, draws a fine bow with crisp melting, dry, powerful final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light salmon pink with a fine perlage. Raspberries and strawberries on the nose, accompanied by orange blossom and a fine bread crust flavour. Very fresh on the palate with a fine melt, dancing fruit, a delicate finish and a fruity-sweet final." Falstaff

"A sleek and refreshing sparkling rosé in the aperitif style, offering a delicate frame of crisp acidity and lacy texture layered with notes of wild strawberry, pink grapefruit granita, ground ginger and spring blossoms." Wine Spectator

"Quite a raw profile with grapefruit flavours, peppery and floral. The taut palate has zesty acidity, a lean body, redcurrant and strawberry flavours and a polished finish." James Suckling
