Vintage 2023

The white wines from La Monacesca are among the most exciting Verdicchio in the DOC region, with freshness and race in the glass. Clear, fruity, mineral, round and long. Typical varietal character and loyalty to the terroir, paired with depth and length, good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Light stalk yellow with green reflections. Delicate floral and fruity notes on the nose, fresh citrus hints. Balanced on the palate, its good acidity and noticeable minerality give it the necessary juiciness and freshness that does not deny its proximity to the west Tuscan coast. A sophisticated, multi-layered wine full of salty minerality that can take on not only shellfish but also Mediterranean veal dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Yellow-green, delicate bouquet of tropical fruit and with a fine floral honeysuckle touch. Lively acidity on the palate, pleasant caramel nuances, fresh, powerful and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

Here comes a Chardonnay that expresses 100% of its growing region. The grapes come from both volcanic and limestone soils. Very lively aroma. Intense scent of pear and Golden Delicious apple. Lively palate with notes of apple and pear and a fine mineral vein. Fresh, persistent final, very taut and of good length. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for this elegant Pinot Nero come from the warm and well-ventilated hillside vineyards on the Ritten and in Oberleitach. Rich ruby red colour in the glass. Fruity, floral bouquet with nuances of red cherries, raspberries and plums, underpinned by a fine violet note. Full, fruity on the palate with a wonderfully velvety texture; fine tannins lead into a medium-bodied, elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Strawberries and cinnamon on the graceful, simple and agreeable nose, enhanced by a touch of blood oranges. Juicy, medium-bodied, crisp and quite biting on the refined palate, with firm chalky tannins." James Suckling

Medium-deep straw yellow colour with a fresh sheen. Fragrant, lively bouquet of lime, orange oil, stone and tropical fruits and sweet spices. The palate is lively and light, with a fine salty component that gives this fresh, delicious white wine its unmistakable character and lovely flow. The animating finish is very Mediterranean with a creamy hint of exoticism, combined with a good acid wire. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose is grassy and citrusy, with aromas of thyme, oregano and grapefruit, while the palate is more savory, with notes of tea leaves and wet coins, along with a more nuanced grapefruit element that oscillates between sweet and salty. A lively, fresh wine." Wine Enthusiast

An elementary component of Piedmontese drinking culture and probably one of the most underrated wines in Italy with DOCG status: the clearly sparkling Brachetto d'Acqui is light ruby red in colour (with cherry-red foam). The bouquet is very aromatic with notes of nutmeg, rose and violet. The flavour is extremely elegant, reminiscent of strawberries, round and finely balanced between mild sweetness and fruity, very refreshing astringency. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, bright cherry red with a soft mousseux. Fruity nose of juicy sour cherries, with a hint of violets and bitter almonds. In the mouth with a fine sweetness, beautiful fruit and invigorating freshness, harmonious and persistent." Falstaff

"This wine is full of ripe strawberries, raspberries, red flowers and candied oranges. Sweet but not cloying, fresh and juicy, with a light to medium body and creamy bubbles. Aromatic and bright." James Suckling

"This is a field of berries in a glass! This lightly effervescent sweet wine is pure joy, with aromas and flavours of crushed raspberries, candied cherries and strawberry rhubarb tart, all wrapped up in a fresh, easy-drinking playground for the palate. A wine for warm days and picnics or for that "cheat day" of eating ice cream and berries." Wine Enthusiast

Gewürztraminer from the Tramin Winery has become one of the most sought-after wines in South Tyrol. From the core of its historic cultivation area, it shows itself to be typical of the variety, tasty and elegant despite its pleasant fullness. SUPERIORE.DE

Rich ruby red with a violet hue, the typical black cherry flavour with notes of roses and bitter almonds caresses the palate. This very authentic Dolcetto shines with finesse, a powerful body and a fruity, crisp finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba offers up a classic profile of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, cloves and licorice. Medium in body and vibrant, the 2023 is seriously beautiful. This is what Dolcetto should be." Vinous

Dark salmon pink colour. Strong berry nose, fresh on the palate, with authentic Sangiovese fruit and the unmistakable character of this exceptional wine. A highly respectable, stylish rosato that tastes of pure Tuscany with its bright acidity and is an excellent accompaniment to Mediterranean dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Rosato Fuori Misura is gorgeous. Rich, ample and creamy, the 2023 possesses notable depth and the textural breadth to match. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, spice and mint are all dialed up. The Fuori Misura is more of a light red wine than a Rosato. As such, it will especially appeal to readers looking for something serious for the dinner table. This is an especially fine edition." Vinous

"La Manina - young generation. Fresh and cheerful, upbeat and yet always carefree. A wine for people of today." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

The elegant and sophisticated form of the light summer wine: with La Manina, Manincor once again manages to combine the expectedly high standards and drinking fluency. Fruity of quince, lychee and pink grapefruit, followed by a fresh herbaceousness with sage and mint. A wine that can hardly be surpassed in terms of drinkability - and all in the proven Manincor style. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliantly clear and straw yellow in colour, ripe and clean on the nose, dense and full on the palate. A characteristic, aromatic Moscato d'Asti with a fine sweetness and good balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling green-yellow with a persistent, delicate perlage. Delicately scented on the nose, with crisp lime, white peach and a hint of sage. Just as crisp, juicy and accessible on the palate, excellent to drink." Falstaff

"It is fresh and flavoursome with aromas of lemons, crushed apples and hints of white tea and chamomile. Medium body and medium sweetness with bright acidity. Concentrated and refreshing. Delicious." James Suckling

"This Moscato d'Asti is an almost flawless combination of fresh and vibrant flavours of white peach and green apples and shines with notes of mint and lemongrass. On the palate, it is bright and refreshing with candied lemon peel, lemon verbena and jasmine, so balanced that the sweetness recedes into the background. Pure joy in the glass." Wine Enthusiast

Golden yellow with a complex aroma of roses, cloves and fruits. Full-bodied, soft and round on the palate, with an interesting slight bitter note on the finish. Beautifully interpreted and characterful Traminer from South Tyrol. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red in colour, with strong violet nuances, lively foam, slightly sparkling. Fragrant, racy, vinous, of cherries, wild berries, dried blood oranges, spicy herbs and chocolate. Its flavour is extraordinarily lively, very fresh, cheerful and untamed. The wine goes well with the whole meal, preferably with very well-seasoned meat, charcuterie and hard cheeses. SUPERIORE.DE

Attractive salmon colour, pleasant bouquet, elegant, fresh on the palate, juicy, beautiful fruit, lively acid structure, subtle extract sweetness on the finish. A versatile food companion with a great pleasure factor! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright pink-red with a silver shimmer. Spicy nose of meadow herbs and nettle, with a hint of gooseberry and stone fruit. Precise fruit centre on the palate, with beautiful pressure and elegance, persistent." Falstaff

The almost flat vineyards of Gries near Bolzano are characterised by sandy alluvial soils permeated by quartz porphyry. The Lagrein grapes, which predominate in this fresh cuvée, reach full ripeness here thanks to the heat-retaining properties of the Bolzano valley basin and thus gain their typical velvety softness. These deep red grapes are pressed with very short skin contact and surprise with fruity, fresh flavours of cherries combined with a hint of almonds. With its beautifully integrated acidity, this rosé goes particularly well with strong starters from South Tyrolean cuisine, fish dishes and summer-inspired dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"A superfloral rosé with intoxicating aromas of violets and a bit of peach tea. pepon the palate, this light-bodied, easy-to-drink wine has zesty acidity and a tight, lean finish." James Suckling

Wonderful white wine with an inner freshness and minerality, rounded off with fine peach and citrus flavours. Precise and persistent on the palate, with the primary flavours perfectly developed. Harmonious, complex and yet with an inspiring lightness. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fruity and fleshy white that has aromas and flavors of melon, apricot and honeysuckle. It’s medium- to full-bodied, pure and tasty." James Suckling

Expressive bouquet with notes of yellow fruit and hazelnut, then flavours of exotic fruit and honey. Wonderfully persistent and elegant flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a creamy, fresh white that opens with lemon rind, nectarines and persimmons on the nose, plus a hint of sage. It’s medium-bodied with a tasty combination of fruit and herbs." James Suckling

Minaia is the top vineyard of the same name in the Gavi DOCG area and the flagship of the Bergaglio winery. Bright yellow with green reflections. On the nose, fine citrus, peach, pear and almond tones, slightly reductive. On the palate, precise, clear and pure, with a lot of race and class, as befits one of the appellation's leading wines every year. The long finish is multi-layered and has a beautiful minerality. SUPERIORE.DE

The vineyards are located in the village of Nalles at 330 to 400 metres above sea level, and if you look beyond the church tower, practically the entire mountain face is planted with Sauvignon Blanc. Solid and typical South Tyrolean Sauvignon Bianco with lively flavours of elderberry and gooseberry. Fine and medium-bodied on the palate with good acidity and a harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"An intense and spicy white with a complex profile of restrained asparagus, candied lemons and a touch of pineapple. Firm acidity on the palate, zesty and tight yet balanced, with a medium body and a silky finish." James Suckling

Elegant Nebbiolo from the Langhe, not hyper-concentrated, but with a wonderful clarity and finesse: Fine, warm, harmonious, with ripe fruit and flavours of dark berries, herbs and vanilla. Racy, persistent finish with well-proportioned, fresh acidity and firm tannins, beautiful balance. SUPERIORE.DE
