Vintage 2022

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

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

Pale straw yellow in colour. Dense and linear with concentrated flavours of citrus fruit, white peach and a nice hint of bitter almond. A fresh and very attractive white wine that promises plenty of good humour and a high enjoyment factor. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pretty and lifted aromas of preserved lemons, white flowers and spice delicately welcome you to this Chardonnay. Driven by mixed orchard fruit on the palate with an impressive texture that is not creamy but gives the wine weight and strucutre while remaining bright and crisp. A balancing act that is worth your time." Wine Enthusiast

Straw yellow with green reflections and visibly fine perlage from 30 days of yeast ageing. Fine citrus notes with further nuances of yellow fruit such as pear or mild apple, slightly nutty in the background. A fresh, invigorating sparkling wine with the necessary depth and noticeable body that does honour to its famous producer. SUPERIORE.DE

"It’s a creamy and delicious sparkling wine with sliced green apples, melon and hints of oyster shells and salt. It’s medium-bodied, fluffy in texture and airy on the palate." James Suckling

The grapes for Rivus come from the best Lagrein vineyards in Neumarkt and Auer, some of which are 100 years old. Rich purple red colour. Aromas of wild blackberries, tobacco, herbs and lavender. Energetic body, not too heavy, soft, silky tannins and bright acidity. Spicy and flavoursome with a juicy and lively finish. Nice ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Tart, cool and slightly ethereal herbs, also bitter almond oil and green cherry and blackberry scents. Clearly on the vegetal side with coolness, earthy spice and juniper berries. The citric acid freshness characterises the palate, extremely clear and straightforward and the opposite of a flatterer." Vinum

"Dark cherries, mulberries, rose petals and violets on the nose. Some dried herbs and cocoa, too. Juicy and blue-fruited palate with a medium body and crunchy, racy tannins. Rich but fresh and flavorful." James Suckling

Capitel Croce is Anselmi's top white wine, made from 100% Garganega grapes and matured in old oak barrels. It opens slowly in the glass, with notes of green citrus and dusty dried flowers merging with freshly cut apricots and hints of ginger. It has a silky texture with ripe fruit and mineral notes that increase with every second. Finishes with medium length, blending young, crisp peach and inner flowers. Give this wine another year in the bottle to develop. A wine full of grace and elegance, full of finesse and complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pronounced, sparkling golden yellow colour. Pleasant aromas of ripe apricots and yellow peach on the nose, followed by a touch of marzipan and hints of tropical fruit. Round and supple on entry, stretches beautifully across the palate, with precise fruit and a lingering finish." Falstaff

"A fresh, supple white with a mineral undertone of smoke and stone that brings out the flavours of pineapple, yellow plums, pickled ginger and chive blossom. A crisp finish." Wine Spectator

"This wine puts its soul into the glass with flavours that come and go but never leave you. Notes of dried mandarin, apricot, jasmine, tarragon and savoury spice. Not to be outdone, the palate is lifted and vibrant with fresh acidity and notes of lemon oil, balanced almond and flint." Wine Enthusiast

"Citrus fruit and a hint of sweet lychee character, along with a touch of oak. Medium-bodied with a rich core of ripe, sweetish fruit. The notes of dry almonds and fresh oak in the aftertaste have a slightly deadening, phenolic effect." James Suckling

"Garganega vinified in purrezza and matured in barriques, very multi-faceted aroma, notes of yellow plums, with hints of wild mint, lemon peel and gerbera. On the palate, it is spicy and crisp, with fruity-menthol and floral-citrus notes." Luca Gardini

Dark, rich ruby colour with violet shimmer. Finely characterised, appealing nose with notes of roses and dark cherries, fine spice in the background. Smooth on the palate, shows plenty of dark berry fruit, opens up with polished tannins, fine sweet melting flavour, chocolate final. 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

Notes of pome fruit, citrus, saffron, honey and gravel on the nose. Fresh and powerful on the palate with notes of minerals, beeswax and dried fruit. Will continue to develop and increase in depth and complexity with further bottle ageing thanks to its present acid wire. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, light lemon yellow colour. Delicate notes of nectarines and rooibos tea on the nose, also a hint of pineapple and vanilla. Creamy on the palate, rolls along gently, slightly spicy and juicy with a lingering finish." Falstaff

"Spicy and citrusy nose with Amalfi lemons, pear drops, crushed herbs and flowers. Medium-bodied, bright and juicy with energetic acidity and a mineral finish." James Suckling

Here is one of the most beautiful interpretations of the white Carricante grape variety, matured for six months on the fine lees. A fresh, dynamic wine from Etna with a multi-faceted aroma of citrus, white peach, yeast, flint and smoke. Cool grapefruit and passion fruit, taut acidity and impressive mineral notes on the dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A cool nose with Burgundian finesse and pressure, fine reduction, mineral notes, salted lemon, light flowers, pear. Extremely fresh and gripping on the palate, elegant and spicy, with yellow-coloured spice, saline minerality and powerful, elegant freshness." Weinwisser

"Bright green-yellow in colour. Delicately smoky, stony on the nose, with subtle hints of salted lemon and some white flowers. Vibrant, salty on the palate, with noble citrus fruit." Falstaff

"This lively white wine offers a nice counterbalance to the creamy texture with aromatic accents of dried mint and grapefruit peel to the flavours of apricot, chopped almonds and poached pear. Salty finish." Wine Spectator

"The Etna Bianco 2022 is remarkably fresh and exudes an herb-accentuated bouquet, in which wet stone and a hint of smoke mingle with crushed almonds and pears. The palate is washed by a mineral wave of ripe fruit, accompanied by a hint of sour lime. The finish is crisp, refreshing and long, with a hint of delicious acidity that calls the drinker back to the glass." Vinous

"The nose is characterised by light, floral aromas of yellow apples, pears, lemons and white flowers, while warm, stony undertones provide balance. The palate is characterised by citrus fruits, with tree fruits not neglected, before a slightly nutty, salty finish supported by a gentle acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Notes of ripe apples and pears with spices, camomile and a stony minerality. Medium-bodied, supple and polished with juicy acidity and delicious fruit. Complex and full of character." James Suckling

"From the districts of Verzella and Pietramarina, a pure Carricante grown between 600 and 750 metres above sea level and then aged for four months in steel tanks. Notes of lychee on the nose, with a hint of lemon thyme and white melon, with hints of lemon and wild mint. Salty-orange on the palate, with a fruity, citrusy finish." Luca Gardini

Bright, lively yellow. On the nose pear, fresh citrus fruits, menthol and a hint of spices and herbs. Juicy, bright and surprisingly complex on the palate, the long contact with the skins gives this white a unique structure and complexity. A crisp and characterful wine, which convinces completely with its long and very lively finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Trudie and Sting's latest creation "Kiss on the Mouth" is a beautiful and very serious interpretation of the Vermentino grape. Pretty nose of peach, apple, lemon and fresh pears. Medium-bodied with well-integrated acidity and a creamy, fruity palate. Pure and juicy on the palate with lovely depth and length. SUPERIORE.DE

This finesse-rich Grüner Veltliner is a rarity in South Tyrol and is only found in isolated cases in the Eisack Valley. Sparkling straw yellow with olive green edges. Slightly peppery on the nose, gracefully fresh on the palate, juicy, with a beautiful structure and a lovely mineral note on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, sparkling straw yellow. Intriguing, fragrant nose, green apple as well as exotic fruit notes, discreetly reminiscent of pineapple and kiwi, with some white pepper behind. On the palate coherent and full of tension, discreetly creamy, lots of spice, well-integrated acidity, salty final." Falstaff

Col Fondo has been part of the Adami product family since the early 1900s. Initially, grandfather Abele and later father Adriano bottled the wine in spring. This then began to ferment again in the warmer months of May and June, producing what is known in Veneto as "vin col fondo". The origin of the name is quickly explained: it is due to the yeasts that settle on the bottom of the bottle after all the residual sugar has been consumed, causing the wine to develop in an exciting way over time.

Exciting: Col Fondo can be drunk clear or cloudy with yeast to create new sensory experiences every time. Drinking it clear means discovering the classic notes of yeast, ripe fruit and also a light balsamic note such as mint, liquorice, thyme and eucalyptus. In this case, simply store the bottle upright and pour the wine carefully, separating it from the sediment that remains in the bottle. If, on the other hand, you prefer it cloudy with yeast, you are opting for a more original experience: the yeast aroma is emphasised, the aroma of ripe fruit lends a particularly intense balsamic note and the wine becomes stronger, richer and fuller on the palate. In this case, store the bottle horizontally and serve as normal. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine is said to be a little cloudy due to the yeast still in the bottle, so don't worry. Impressive aromas of chamomile, honey, roasted apples and white tea pour from the glass. The structured palate shows notes of Asian pear and quince, with a leeky and tart finish." Wine Enthusiast

"Fermentation aromas of yeast, tamarind and biscotti, melded with salted lemon rind, tonic and rosemary. The finish is pithy and nicely phenolic, finishing with an emphatic bite. Long and clean. Best of all, thoroughly intriguing. Savory, refined and persistent. Loads of character." James Suckling

The Barbera vines for Sentieri are over 30 years old and grow at an altitude of around 300 metres on predominantly calcareous soils in the natural amphitheatre of Monleale. It is the complete opposite of an opulent, dense style. Sentieri has a wonderful Italian freshness and is 100% focussed on the primary fruit of the Barbera grape. It presents plenty of race and a personality that is elegantly restrained and very balanced. For us, this is Barbera in its purest form and here Walter Massa impressively proves that he is not only capable of top performance with the white Timorasso. And once again we are more than impressed by the excellent value of his wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"Back to the origins. Uncomplicated and charming, fruity and elegant and of incorruptible quality - this is how we understand the wine that the world thinks it knows us for."Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

Kalterersee Classico from old Vernatsch vines of different varieties from a south-facing slope with a lake view called Keil. Bright, light ruby colour, fine fruity bouquet of cherries and roasted almonds, juicy and easy-drinking on the palate with an elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very crisp and delicious with flavours of cranberries, light apples and watermelon that fade into a medium body with light tannins and a crisp finish. Serve slightly chilled." James Suckling

"Winemaker Helmut Zozin’s passion is to explore the sensuality of a wine – the pleasure and drinkability it delivers. Keil is fermented in wooden tini, and after a brief settling period in concrete, returns to barrel for another 10 months. A lightly edgy nose of nutmeg-dusted red fruit aromas and almost-minty hints leads to a fleshy, balanced palate with juicy raspberry fruit and good mouthfeel." Decanter
