The vines for this exceptional selection cuvée grow on the slopes of the St. Magdalener area above Bolzano at an altitude of 200-300 metres. St. Magdalener Moar is characterised by the unique interplay of location, age and cultivation of the vineyards. It captivates with its fruity and floral notes and its full and velvety flavour. The nose is characterised by the cherry, marzipan and violet notes typical of St. Magdalener. For us, it is one of the archetypes of its appellation! SUPERIORE.DE

Alexandros is a beautifully complex and expressive white from Campania. The aromas of light stone fruit, flowers and a fine minerality come together in the harmonious bouquet. Crisp clean taste with a fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Greco di Tufo Alexandros is remarkably beautiful in the glass. An unobtrusive blend of young peach, melon and sweet smoke forms its bouquet. A lively acidity and mineral tones complete the ripe fruit that washes over the palate. The 2022 finishes fresh and medium-length, with lingering notes of candied lime." Vinous

"Vinosity, the highlight. Apricot peel, canned peach, nectarine pulp, tamarind and quince paste. The mid palate, powerful and thoroughly convincing. This is a fine Greco, even in the context of the vintage. It rides a wave of quince paste phenomena as well as the underlying touch of freshness." James Suckling

The name Glarea is of Rhaeto-Romanic origin and means gravel. The grapes for this mineral and very harmonious Chardonnay grow at an altitude of around 250 metres on the lower part of the Höllenbach debris cone in soils rich in limestone and gravel. Thanks to the low hillside location and the proximity to the valley floor, a unique microclimate is created here, characterised by considerable temperature fluctuations. During the day, the Glarea vineyards enjoy very warm temperatures, which are replaced by cool air masses in the late hours of the night and early morning, giving it a lovely tautness and freshness.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. Ripe banana, dried apricot and pineapple on the nose. Lively freshness on the palate, juicy full-bodied and taut minerality, long and harmonious final. Glarea is an extremely likeable jack-of-all-trades that is best enjoyed with savoury starters. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow in colour, intense on the nose, yellow fruit in the foreground, yellow apple, hints of peach and slightly exotic mango. Clearly recognisable wood on the palate, roasted aromas, spicy, vanilla, almond blossom, slight bitterness on the finish, the wood becomes better integrated with a little time." Falstaff

"Creamy white fruit and toast with some pie crust and lemon curd pastry. Attractive and pure on the palate, with a medium body and a flavourful centre. Long, creamy finish. Drink now." James Suckling

Just 6,000 bottles of this extremely delicious and complex rosato made from Pinot Nero and the indigenous Petit Rouge grape variety from vineyards in the municipalities of Aymavilles and Gressan are produced every year. The grapes from these predominantly south-facing vineyards have always been used exclusively for the production of the famous Torrette.

"Il Repertorio" - "The Register". Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti's wines recall his father's notarial world with their names.

Expressive and uninhibited, the Aglianico Il Repertorio meets us. Dark berries, a herbal bouquet of mint, rosemary, black olive, thyme and sage, plus tones of leather and liquorice. An extremely fascinating and fresh wine from start to finish. Intense and delicate at the same time, elegant and rustic. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose shows complex aromas of spicy oak, dark chocolate, dried herbs, dark cherries and liquorice. Firm and youthful on the palate." Decanter

"Lavender, plums, black and red currants and some white pepper on the nose. Fresh and youthful with full body, fine-grained tannins and a very clean finish." James Suckling

"A hauntingly dark display of crushed blackberries, lilac and lavender evolves in the glass as the 2021 Aglianico del Vulture Il Repertorio slowly comes to life. It’s silky and sleek, also decidedly savory in style, with tart wild berry fruits propelled by saline-tinged acidity. The 2021 finishes staining and structured, leaving a bitter tinge of exotic spice offset by sour citrus. This imposing vintage of Il Repertorio is built for the cellar." Vinous

Pratto is a wonderfully complex cuvée of Turbiana, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Bianco. Sweet floral notes on the nose, elegant, fruity, creamy with mineral notes on the palate. A full-bodied, round wine that tempts you to the next glass ... SUPERIORE.DE

"Light straw yellow with green reflections. Fragrant nose, gooseberry, pineapple and meadow herbs. On the palate fruit-sweet, round, creamy, moderate acidity, medium-long final." Falstaff

Rich and fruity is the well-made Dolcetto from Chiara Boschis. Violet red, on the nose blackberry, candied cherries and some plum compote. On the palate a soft fullness with wonderfully fresh acidity, its medium face makes it an indispensable companion to light meat dishes and pasta. SUPERIORE.DE

GROSSO is a Blanc de Noirs produced in the classic Champagne method and matures for 24 months on the fine lees. Delicate pink colour and a fine, persistent perlage. Crisp bouquet of violets, citrus peel, nectarine and wild strawberry. On the palate with a nice draught, very straight after red berries. Very well balanced, it prances with fine spicy and impressive freshness into a respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brightest, shining copper with golden accents. In the bouquet red currant and wild cranberry, in addition delicate meadow herbs, slightly yeasty. In the taste again distinctly spicy, shows rich melting and winds wiry through the palate, animating in the drink, in the finish finesse-rich and slightly salty." Falstaff

The famous Gewürztraminer "Kleinstein" from Cantina Bolzano is a nutty-scented drop with complex aromas of ripe fruit, dried flowers and a hint of rosewood. Its taste is reminiscent of honeydew melon and mountain herbs with a slight hint of citrus. Gripping texture, lively acidity, fine minerality and a slightly spicy sweetness combine to create a highly balanced pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fragrant nose of rose petals, white pepper, melon and mangosteen. Full-bodied, oily and spicy, with weighty and round layers. A big wine at 15% alcohol, but balanced with floral freshness." James Suckling

"Intense, bright straw yellow. Aromatically pronounced nose, ripe fruit, reminiscent of bananas and lychee, with rose petals behind. Impressive and persistent on the palate, great tension, first a lot of exotic fruit notes, again lychee as well as a hint of mango, in the finish a lot of nutmeg." Falstaff

Opulent, savoury fruit, plus sage, ginger and thyme. Very soft and rich on the palate, fresh and agile as it progresses until it finally reaches its persistent and mineral final. A terroir wine full of character and complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Colli di Lapio 2022 Fiano di Avellino shows good freshness and fruit quality in a challenging and very hot vintage and is beautiful on both the nose and the palate. It opens with creamy citrus, golden apple and yellow papaya flavours. Mineral tones are gently woven in. The secret of this wine lies in the vineyard's high altitude, with vines planted at a cool 530 metres above sea level on volcanic soils." Wine Advocate

"A fine expression from a warmer year. Peach, raw almond, apricot kernel and a noble quinine bitterness embrace an inherent ripeness. An engaging column of saltiness and a stream of gentle, maritime freshness. Perfect balance, the result. In such vintages, there is always a tendency towards excess. The winners are those who avoid this. Here is an example." James Suckling

"Bright and juicy, with pineapple, peach, blood orange sorbet, pink grapefruit granita, anise hyssop and honeysuckle flavors. Silky on the palate and well-knit, sculpted by lively acidity and a nice push of minerality that shines on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Traces of camomile complement sweet flowers and crushed yellow apples when the Fiano di Avellino 2022 opens in the glass. It is tangy and fresh, with a slightly effervescent feel. Salty mineral tones provide an echo of excitement. Young peach and sage notes linger as the 2022 finishes crisp." Vinous

Neroametà is a white vinified Aglianico that represents an old family project that aims to emphasise the great versatility of this noble and ancient grape variety. It pays homage to the varietal origins of the black Aglianico grape, which presents itself with convincing elegance in white vinification without any skin contact and is a tribute to the territorial and cultural origins of Campania.

Pale straw yellow with grey reflections. Elegant bouquet, characterised by rich and complex notes of flowers, lily of the valley and citrus fruits, well blended with delicate fruit nuances and mineral hints. Fresh, spicy and decisive on the palate, with an intense mineral aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Neroametà is decidedly savory in character, blending raw almond and flint stone with white peach and hints of wool. It splashes across the palate with a burst of sour citrus and crisp orchard fruits, all guided by saline-tinged acidity. It cleans up beautifully through the finish, long and tense yet mouth-watering all the same. At times, the Neroametà reminds me of an old-school Loire Chenin." Vinous

"A blend of fresh fruit and floral notes with a hint of celery. Medium to full-bodied with a concentrated, powerful and quite savoury palate. Some may find the finish a little aggressive, but I like the lively character that permeates this wine." James Suckling

This is the fourth vintage of a truly fortuitous product. Paolo actually wanted to plant more Moscato vines in this 1.5 ha small and sustainably cultivated vineyard when he recognised the quality of the Barbera grapes ripening there in 2016. So, without further ado, he decided to vinify a Barbera, which he then aptly named "Per Sbaglio" - which means "by mistake". We congratulate him on this decision, just 3,000 bottles of which reach the market every year. Rich, sparkling ruby red. Classic ripe raspberry notes on the nose, red berries again on the palate, very rounded, full-bodied and with great drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

Delicate yellow colour with greenish reflections. A fine, persistent perlage in the glass, delicate but clearly defined bouquet of gooseberry, apple, citrus fruit and hints of bread. Rich on the palate with wonderful elegance and length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant silver with straw yellow colour and persistent perlage. Smells of green, crisp apple, freshly cut grass, with fine floral tones. Great freshness on the palate, juicy, with a slight phenolic flavour, delicately flowing, very fresh for a 2022." Falstaff

Medium golden yellow colour. Spicy, intense nose with aromas of roses, lychee and lily blossom. Powerful and round on the palate with a full, creamy texture. Piquant and mineral notes are flanked by a fresh acidity and notes of apricot and honeydew melon. Gewürztraminer Stoass ends harmoniously in a finely fruity and smooth finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich and honeyed character with glazed lemons, quince, honeysuckle and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, bright and vibrant with a juicy, tropical mid-palate and lively acidity. Spicy with a creamy finish." James Suckling

Ripe fruit aromas on the nose with dried plum, cherry and blueberry, hints of liquorice and spicy notes in the background. Juicy and medium-bodied on the palate, with soft acidity and bright berry fruit and well-proportioned sour cherry. Fine-grained tannin, medium-long finish, a wonderful food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

The pure Nero d'Avola is bursting with dark aromas of berries, black cherry, liquorice and tobacco. Lush and distinctive on the palate with wonderful spicy notes of mint, aniseed and espresso. Juicy tannins, good length, fine pressure. A really great wine of impressive intensity at a still very reasonable price, incidentally certified organic since the 2020 vintage! SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red with violet edges. Fine spicy notes on the nose, ripe plum and forest floor. Balanced on the palate with a fine tannin structure, fresh and fruity core, medium length." Falstaff

"The Saia 2021 exudes a captivating blend of crushed violets, lavender, blackberries and wet stones. A powerful core of ripe red and blue fruits forms the framework, while a juicy acidity provides freshness. A pleasantly bitter hint of tangerine develops towards the end. The 2021 is spotty and long, finishing with a layer of fine tannins and a saturation of primary concentration that creates a slight chewy sensation towards the end. This is a fantastic and energetic interpretation of Saia, a Nero d'Avola grape variety that I suspect will age very well." Vinous

"Lots of blackberries, mushrooms, bark and a hint of pumice. A hint of smoke. Mussel shells. Blue fruits. Medium-bodied with fine and silky tannins that add tension and focus. Black fruits on the finish with a hint of orange peel. Crisp and fruity with structure." James Suckling

The grapes for this very traditional Piedmont red wine come from selected vineyard sites on the hills of the Langhe region. The special thing about the vinification: a small part of the mash is frozen unfermented. The alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks lasts about two weeks, with very little handling and agitation of the mash. Then, without the addition of sulphurous acid, the young wine is moved to a wooden barrel where the malolactic fermentation takes place. Once this is complete, the previously frozen portion of unfermented must is added and the wine is bottled in this way. A second fermentation now takes place in the bottle, whereby these are placed upright so that the yeast deposit settles on the bottom of the bottle.

Deep ruby red. Intense aroma with fruity red and black berries and floral notes as well as nuances of asphalt. Powerful on the nose, full-bodied, with prominent tannin and fresh acidity on the palate. Fine perlage and a long, persistent final.

Please note that this wine should always be stored standing up. Also, care should be taken when opening, as the pressure may vary from bottle to bottle due to the carbonic acid naturally produced in the wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Salcheto's garnet-red sparkling Vino Nobile delights us with a classic blend of dusty black cherries, cedar shavings, worn leather and sour citrus notes. On the palate, there is plenty of present fruit, a soft texture and a cool note, with savoury red fruits and cedar spice accompanied by lively acidity. Fine, sweet mellowness on the long finish. An authentic and pleasantly elegant organic wine from the heart of the Montepulciano region that is ready to drink when young. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fresh and structured red with black cherries, tea leaves and raw cocoa beans on the nose. Medium-bodied and chewy but approachable, with purity." James Suckling

"A lively, well-defined red, featuring cherry, raspberry, eucalyptus, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors. Linear and intense, this evolves to the long, savory finish." Wine Spectator

The name Da-Di derives from Chinese and means earth/soil. DA-DI bianco was born from owner Virginie Saverys' intuition to rediscover the vocation of the Cortona area for the production of great white wines from autochthonous grapes, and encapsulates all of Avignonesi's love of experimentation.

In the glass, it opens intensely with floral notes of wisteria and lime, white peach and gooseberry. On the palate, the approach is precise and straightforward. Lemon peel, mint and the complexity of wildflower honey emerge. The pronounced acidity makes it long and elegant. In the aftertaste, hints of flint bring back mineral notes. An exciting wine with a distinct and fresh personality. Approx. 2,000 bottles were produced. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium lemon-gold hue. Mineral, spiced lemon, smoked pineapples and oranges on the nose. Textured and medium-bodied on the palate with a zesty center palate and a taut, slightly saline finish." James Suckling

Sparkling, rich straw yellow colour. Opens with fine spicy notes of aniseed and cloves, with plenty of mango and apricot. On the palate, it is racy and juicy, full-bodied, followed by delicate notes of papaya and lychee, with fine spices rounding off the flavour experience on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Ripe and scented nose with roses, dried lychee and orange blossoms. Round and waxy on the palate with a supple middle and a generous, lightly bitter-sweet finish." James Suckling

Occhipintis Bianco has been one of Sicily's craziest and at the same time most independent white wines for years. Made from equal parts Moscato and Albanello, it exudes the scent of peaches and flowers, with a subtle smoky note on the nose. Delicately bitter on the palate, yet bone-dry and with wonderfully fruity hints of lychee, lime and apricot. With half an hour of aeration and at a moderate 12°C drinking temperature, you will be completely mesmerised by the sophistication and drinkability of this exceptional wine! SUPERIORE.DE

"Pungent flowers, ground ginger and grapefruit form a savoury bouquet when the 2022 Bianco SP68 opens in the glass. It is soft and round. Juicy acidity and tropical citrus notes enliven the tart fruit of the orchard. The finish is surprisingly long and allows exotic flowers and sour melon notes to slowly fade away. What a pleasure." Vinous

"Zibibbo and the rare Albanello grape comprise the blend of this entry-level white. The deep golden colour anticipates an exuberant nose with just a hint of struck match reduction framing apricot, candied lemon peel, orange blossom, and aloe vera. The mid-weight palate is loaded with sweet orchard fruits backed by a touch of maceration-driven astringency. Savoury minerals and a herbal tang echo on the medium to long finish." Decanter

Bright ruby red colour, typical for Sangiovese. Very intense smell of blackcurrants, cherries and Mediterranean maquis. On the palate it immediately shows great freshness and minerality, good tannins and structure, a very long finish that shows that Sangiovese has a natural elegance and depth even in its less polished expressions. Also perfect for summer, but then served a little cooler. SUPERIORE.DE

Sparkling, rich ruby colour. Very clear nose with lots of cherry fruit, some rosehip and dried fruit. Lots of fine-grained tannins on the palate, develops clearly and straightforwardly, fresh and juicy, interesting finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The San Filippo 2021 Rosso di Montalcino lo Scorno has a soft earthiness with iris root, lilac, cherry cola, redcurrant and freshly tilled soil. These aromas are capped by easy freshness and dusty tannins that set it up for slow-cooked pulled pork. The wine has nice grip on the palate." Wine Advocate
