This wine calls for a strong food companion and is a great pleasure in this combination! SUPERIORE.DE

The Nebbiolo grapes for the Inferno Superiore come from the Calvario, Sopragironi, Sottogironi and Ca Rossa subzones. They grow there in southern exposure on terraced slopes on poor, sandy soils.

Very harmonious on the palate, the tannin very well integrated and the Nebbiolo fruit and acid component present until the respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mazér" is a dialect word from Valtellina and means "noble", an apt description of the character of this wine. It is a Valtellina Superiore and the quintessence of the experience that Nino Negri has gained since 1897 in the production of the Chiavennasca grape (Nebbiolo). A small part of the Nebbiolo grapes is dried for a few days - concentrating the grape juice - and then mixed with the rest of the grape mass.

A pure bouquet of red fruit with a hint of tobacco, hints of mineral notes on the palate and fine tannins, perfectly integrated into an appealing acidity structure. A very authentic, classic and full-bodied wine with an Alpine character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Le Tense" is made from grapes that come exclusively from the Sassella DOCG subzone. During Swiss rule (1512 - 1797), the best vineyards were "secured" by armed guards, which is how it got its name. They became the most famous vineyards in the appellation. The selection of vines produces a wine that expresses the character of the soil: old stones and rocks that represent the terroir of Sassella. Nebbiolo from Sassella produces elegant aromas and delicate, harmonious flavours that are typical of the alpine reds of Valtellina.

Silky and polished with wild berries, blueberries, bitter almond, crushed rock, ash and mild spice. It has all the ethereal and finely balanced flavours of a Valtellina Nebbiolo, but they are presented in a slightly more direct and accessible way. The firm tannins are enveloped in beautiful fruit, and the medium-long finish ends harmoniously. A wonderful wine from the far north of Lombardy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, bright ruby colour with garnet-red tendencies. Medium intensity on the nose of preserved wild berries, with notes of cloves and varnish. Medium-bodied on the palate with fresh fruit and somewhat broad tannins on the finish." Falstaff

"The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Claré JC is a very pretty, nuanced wine. Crushed flowers, cranberry, rose petal, mint and dried herbs all grace the 2023. Readers will find a very serious wine, one that vastly overachieves at its price. Early picking, vinification with a touch of stems and brief aging yield a fresh, aromatic Nebbiolo done in a style meant to recall notes found in Thomas Jefferson's impressions of Nebbiolo well before the birth of the formal appellation system. As good as the wine is, it could also be a far more serious wine, if that were the intent. Tasted blind, nobody would guess this is a Langhe Nebbiolo." Vinous

The Nebbiolo Langhe from Pelissero is a very beautiful wine. Silky flavours, notes of cherries and red cherries develop in this floral, rich, structured and medium-bodied red. Like all Pelissero wines, the Nebbiolo has plenty of flavour intensity and depth. The darker side of the grape variety comes to the fore here - with notes of liquorice, smoke, tobacco and cedar wood that lend it complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo is a powerful, heady wine. This is far from an easygoing Nebbiolo. It offers fine persistence, but also tannins that are pretty imposing for a wine made for early drinking, The Pelissero Langhe Nebbiolo is made from young vines in Barbaresco." Vinous

Sweet, ripe cherry and berry fruits are underlined by notes of liquorice and mint in this straightforward red wine. The fruit is fused with a layer of dusty tannins, and the wine finishes with a lively feel, leaving you wanting more. Tovasacco is an old-school Nebbiolo, and that's exactly why it's so good. SUPERIORE.DE

There's gorgeous energy and delineation here. All the elements are so well balanced. This entry-level offering delivers the goods." Vinous

This Nebbiolo from the Langhe comes from the entire region and from a combination of different soil types.

The dark fruit flavours are supported by a supple texture and the spice nuances are fragrant and exotic. An excellent wine for early consumption and of great quality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's a pretty little surprise from Produttori del Barbaresco. The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is slender and streamlined in consistency, but it remains surprisingly focused throughout. It shows raisiny flavors of prune and dried fig. The effect is delineated and sharp. The wine is generous, and it offers a lot of bright energy as well, within the context of hot-vintage fruit." Wine Advocate

The concept is as simple as it is ingenious: Christoph Künzli wanted to create a Nebbiolo that is fresh and easy to drink, whose beguiling sweetness and richness is convincing right up to the last sip and which nevertheless represents the Alto Piemonte in a typical and unmistakable way. The convincing result is fresh, with a rich bouquet of berries and flowers, crisp and velvety in the mouth. Be sure to enjoy it a little cooler and you will be surprised how quickly the bottle is empty! 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

It comes from a selection of grapes grown in both Barolo and Barbaresco, mostly on the classic combination of limestone and clay. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is a very serious wine in its peer group. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper and orange peel give this rich, textured red notable aromatic brightness and presence. This is far from an easygoing Langhe Nebbiolo." Vinous
