Prinsipi from the small vineyard parcel of the same name was once developed by son Fabio as a 100 per cent Chardonnay and "little brother" of Bastia, but now 10 per cent Manzoni Bianco is added, which gives it more freshness and lightness. What also distinguishes it from the famous Chardonnay is the ageing in stainless steel. A fresh, crisp and very drinkable white wine that cuts a fine figure not only on its own and is now a firm favourite in the (now also organic) range. SUPERIORE.DE

A spectacular steep slope rises above the north-western shore of Lake Kaltern, one of the best vineyards in the area. Classic and Demeter-certified Vernatsch from South Tyrol: Pronounced, very fruity aroma of red berries and cherries. Round, balanced flavour, medium body, fresh finish with fine tannins and a pleasant bitter almond note. SUPERIORE.DE

"From the Lageder family’s 8ha Römigberg estate above Lake Caldaro, where pergola-trained Schiava grapes are farmed biodynamically. The fruit is fermented partly in large wooden barrels, partly in stainless steel, and with some extended skin contact. A pale bright garnet colour, the nose is rosy and smoky with notes of pomegranate and cranberry over intense, spicy notes of cinnamon and clove. It has a juicy, ripe and supple palate yet with underlying firmness and good balance with lovely acidity, finishing with notes of plum and woodsmoke. Delicious." Decanter

Subtle rose bouquet with hints of musk, dried peaches and apricots. Juicy flavour with wonderful flanking acidity that gives it freshness and effervescence. The Sangiovese grape adds the necessary dose of tannin and structure, making it an excellent accompaniment to food. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Il Rosé di Casanova is exotic and unmistakable. Almost Sauvignon Blanc-like in character, it develops notes of kiwi, gooseberry, grapefruit, thyme and tomato leaves. Bright, fleshy and slightly grippy, it leaves an absolutely dry, bitter flavour in the mouth (in a good way) that demands another sip. A tropical hint of mango and papaya lingers on the finish." Vinous

"This has a peach-pink color, with stone fruit, dried orange and dried flower aromas and flavors. Crunchy and minerally on the palate, with a medium body and attractive salinity at the end." James Suckling

Fresh bouquet typical of the grape variety, light and very appetising. Biancospino - certified organic since 2021 - is an expressive wine with generous fruit notes and endowed with an engaging personality. SUPERIORE.DE

The warm sites around Tramin give this pretty Traminer aromatico substance, breadth and a certain sweetness, while the cool and higher sites in the Eisack Valley give it freshness, finesse and a fine aromatic structure. Clear straw yellow, very aromatic on the nose of ripe mirabelle plum, apricot and fine exotic spices. Juicy and long-lasting in the mouth, with fine minerality and a dry, well-proportioned finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Subtle ruby red colour with light reflections. Warm, well-dosed bouquet of wild berries, cherries and some smoke. Fine tannins on the palate, with plenty of juice and fruit at the core, floral and spicy notes, compact. A fine salty vein in the harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium ruby red with a light orange rim. Open nose of dark chocolate, blood orange peel, coffee notes behind. Powerful tannins on the palate, dense and with an acidity curve, medium finish, gains with further ageing." Falstaff

"Convincing in this vintage as well: tones of plums, liquorice and herbs; compact structure, lots of character and juice, finishes long on notes of wild berries and spices. Pleases with its complexity." Vinum

"The 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens with an understated blend of black cherry, dusty lavender and white smoke aromas. It is soft-textured and round, with ripe red and black fruits and violet inner florals amassing toward the close. This finishes on a note of youthful tension, yet not overly tannic, leaving nuances of blue and purple inner florals to linger." Vinous

"A powerful and full-bodied red wine with aromas and flavours of walnuts, plums and dark chocolate. Also some black olives. It is tannic and grainy on the palate, but should still age well." James Suckling

"The 2021 expresses the conditions of the vintage with an overall density, but remains balanced and agile. In-house Oenologist Giuseppe Rigoli explains that a small portion of the grapes were harvested very early to preserve freshness and the rest were brought in by the end of September. He also carried out a slightly shorter maceration of 15 days (compared to 20 days in 2020). The wine opens with a hint of vanilla and then fades into mint and violets. The sandy tannins envelop the concentrated red berries and grip powerfully on the finish. The original quality of the fruit shines through and the savoury nuances remain." Decanter

Very fine, finesse-rich Chianti Classico in organic quality with intense aromas of berries, red fruits and violets. Refined flavour, harmonious and spicy, the light tannins are velvety soft. This wine is pure drinking pleasure! SUPERIORE.DE

"An open, lacy version, whose cherry, strawberry, earth and Mediterranean scrub flavors are backed by a dense, tightly wound structure. Though balanced and long, this red will benefit from another year in bottle." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of red and dark berries with chocolate orange, spice box and wet stones. Juicy and racy with a medium body and velvety texture. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

Bricco Quaglia is an expressive, engagingly fresh and fruity classic with a fragrant fruit bouquet. Citrus fruits on the palate, medium sweetness, delicately sparkling and beautifully balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

Maurizio Castelli does not like fancy names. That's why he took a simple but original approach when naming the estate and his top wine: 414, which is the number of the vineyard in the region's land register. And the Morellino 414 more than lives up to this clear line and proves its stature: smoky notes in the lively fruit bouquet, the contrasting, drinkable flavour convinces with aromatic power and structure. One of the best Morellino in the appellation and for us the purest pleasure in a glass! SUPERIORE.DE

"A ripe and refined red with dried raspberries, spiced strawberries and red cherries. The tannins are tense and pretty close-knit, which creates tightness on the medium-bodied palate. Pretty long in the finish." James Suckling

Bright straw yellow with a sparkling centre. Vecchie Vigne from a vineyard over 40 years old has a seductive aroma of almond petals, white flowers, meadow herbs, lemon and white peach, with a green apple aftertaste. Lively minerality and a slight hint of aniseed on the palate. The expressive flavour is of fabulous elegance and length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow colour with green-golden tones. Delicate bouquet of smoky notes of white stone fruit and jasmine. Presents itself with a soft texture in the mouth, very juicy, invigorating acidity, glides with gentle pressure into the long finish, great." Falstaff

"A savoury, mineral white wine with notes of biscuit, crushed stones, salted almonds and dried apples on the nose. It is medium to full-bodied, biscuity and complex, with plenty of texture and flavour." James Suckling

After organic certification was granted for the 2021 vintage, the next generation of Carlettis, namely Maria Stella and Francesco, began working on a new wine. It was to be a Rosso made from 100% Prugnolo Gentile, the local variety of Sangiovese. The vines for the single vineyard at high altitude were selected from ancient clones that had already given Montepulciano wines supra-regional importance in the Middle Ages.

Fiori Rosso, the winery's new "Super Rosso", surprises with its enormous fragrance, reminiscent of blood orange, dark cherries and mulberries, violets and violet flowers. Modern, velvety and accessible on the palate, yet sophisticated - an incredibly hedonistic wine whose label is a promise of the wine's fragrance and an allusion to the fields of flowers between the organic rows of vines. A Rosso that has been allowed to sow its wild oats in big wood, with extra fine tannins and already outrageously delicious in its youth. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense ruby red colour with a violet core. Floral on the nose, then fresh wild berries, Amarena cherry and mocha, with a peppermint aftertaste. Juicy, crisp on the palate, slightly broad tannins and dark berry fruit, accessible, somewhat vegetal on the final. Benefits from further ageing." Falstaff

Alois Lageder's dry Moscato entices with wonderful honey aromas, underpinned with a hint of grapefruit. Full-bodied on the palate of fresh fruit, in the finish memories of spicy dried lemon peel with a beautiful acid play.. SUPERIORE.DE

Medium ruby red colour. Fine, red berry bouquet with hints of blackcurrant, black cherry, sage and smoky notes. Firm and expressive on the palate; multi-layered flavours of ripe wild berries, spices and a delicate almond note are flanked by velvety tannins. Ciampoleto has impressive depth and structure for a Rosso, and the respectable finish leaves a soft cherry note with traces of liquorice and a salty vein. SUPERIORE.DE

Spinetta's single-varietal Vermentino has an aroma of ripe yellow pears and hay flowers. Juicy and elegant on the palate, with a delicate honey flavour and fine acidity. A lively summer wine with good length and a high enjoyment factor. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine, slender and racy Chianti Classico from organic cultivation - one of our special favourites for 20 years. Captivating aromas, dense, firm body, deep and juicy, with well-defined tannins and a fresh and appetising finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Clean and refined white wine (Riesling & Durella) from volcanic soils with aromas of ripe yellow grapefruit, melon and a hint of wet straw. Medium-bodied with a silky texture that becomes slightly phenolic towards the end. A note of bitter lemon on the finish is exciting. Lots of crisp flavour, good freshness and length. SUPERIORE.DE

"A blend of Riesling and a native grape of the Veneto, Durella, this wine's aromas as a floral and citrus combination that ignites the salivary glands. The wine unfolds like an origami swan with jasmine, leading into Mandarin orange then to lemongrass. The palate is just as interesting with savory herbs matching the ripe stone fruit flavors as the wine rushes to the crisp and vibrant finish." Wine Enthusiast

"Despite the richness on the nose, with ripe orchard fruit, candied lemons, acacia flowers and hints of honey, this wine shows freshness, vibrancy, racy acidity and crunchy texture. Vivid and a little savory with mineral notes." James Suckling

High-quality Trebbiano Superiore with structure and a beautiful correspondence between aroma and flavour. Convincing with fresh, spicy to sweet flavours and a crisp, fresh finish, this organically produced white wine is a joy to drink! SUPERIORE.DE

"Lush, bright gold colour. A nose of squeezed lemon and lemon pieces as well as fresh pineapple, reminiscent of fresh resin, plus sea salt and rosemary. Juicy on the palate, with pronounced fruit and well-integrated acidity, savoury, spans a beautiful arc, also slightly floral in the middle section, dry, slightly phenolic finish." Falstaff

"A dusting of autumnal spice, raw almonds and musky dried apricots create an inviting bouquet as the 2021 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Riserva Spelt opens in the glass. There's a pretty inner sweetness up front complicated by saline minerals and tart orchard fruits. This finishes crisp and with admirable length, leaving tropical inner florals." Vinous

"An impressive Trebbiano, also from organic cultivation. Yellow plum on the nose, with a hint of wild sage and hawthorn, crisp and salty on the finish, with balsamic and fruity notes, a clear snapshot of the area's great potential." Luca Gardini

Lezér means "light" and so it is - in the most delicate sense. Light ruby red in colour, red berries and an interesting hint of violets on the nose. Smoke, freshly cut wood and a fine creaminess on the palate. A thoroughly fresh red wine right through to the finish, which goes well with warm weather and uncomplicated Mediterranean cuisine, especially when slightly chilled. The ageing in different containers such as amphora, cement tank and wooden barrel gives it an additional appeal and an unmistakable profile. SUPERIORE.DE

"A supple balance of redcurrants, raspberries, a hint of lavender and fresh leaves on the nose. Juicy light red cherry on the palate, very fine, rather subtle tannins and an elegant, impressively integrated acidity structure. A summer red wine for the terrace. Best enjoyed slightly chilled." Vinum

"Fresh and crunchy, with red berries, pomegranate, dried orange peel and hibiscus. Medium-bodied and dry, with crushed stone minerality. Slightly chalky in the finish." James Suckling

Since the 2019 vintage, the successor to the famous "Eticchetta Blu" has been called "Maggiolo", derived from maggio (May) and giaggiolo (iris). The latter covers the fields in May with its flowers and floral scents, which we also find in the bouquet of this Chianti Classico. Bright ruby red in colour, fruity aromas of violets, mulberries, blackberries and blueberries as well as hints of sweet spices and cocoa. Very fresh and juicy on the palate, then the soft tannins envelop the pretty fruit centre and, together with a fine saltiness, lead into the medium-long finish. A wonderfully balanced and drinkable red wine from organic cultivation that certainly won't get old in good company. Drinking pleasure at a high level! SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose starts with a balance of mixed berries and an herbaceous earthiness, then a hint of chocolate emerges. On the palate, there are cherries and blackberries, underlined by dusty, chalky tannins and lively acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"A structured, round and seductive Chianti Classico. The nose reveals aromas of cherries, raspberries and wild herbs, leading into a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Plenty of power and focus, with a long, lively and flavourful finish." James Suckling

Straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The fine bouquet has notes of white peach, apple and pear with an aroma of lemon blossom and hawthorn, leading to nuances of Mediterranean herbs and lemongrass. Fresh and harmonious on the palate, with a delicate salty vein and a medium fruity finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The sparkling classic from Italy's leading Prosecco winery is now certified organic. Radiant in the glass, with the scent of white flowers and fruit, extremely fine and elegant in flavour. Clean, delicate finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, youthful green-yellow colour. On the nose, baby banana, pear and a hint of lime, with fine grapey notes. Elegant tension and creamy fruit on the palate, savoury, the perlage is very well integrated, makes the tongue click, harmonious in approach and finish." Falstaff

"The NV Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore opens with a perfumed blend of sweet wildflowers, spice, hints of crushed stone and freshly sliced apples. It presents a chiseled, mineral style with zesty acidity and crunchy orchard fruits that cascade on the palate. Medium in length yet remarkably fresh, it cleans up beautifully with nuances of green melon that add a lovely mouth-watering quality." Vinous

"It is somewhat sharper and firmer, with notes of wild fennel, alpine mint and geranium. Frothy, alpine-like, long and incredibly refined." James Suckling

"Grapes in a jar. Five times a day fruit and vegetables, it says. With our cheerfully bright Goldmuskateller made from sun-soaked grapes - properly tempered - a joy!"Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

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

Medium ruby red colour. A violet note on the nose with delicate hints of vanilla and spices. Powerful, fresh and very precise on the palate with dominant fruit and plenty of energy. A fine spiciness and saltiness on the medium-long finish. Very balanced and delicious. SUPERIORE.DE

"A crunchy and delicious red with berries, white pepper and other spices. Medium body, creamy tannins. Juicy at the end." James Suckling
