Vintage 2023

The history of Lagrein cultivation in Alto Adige dates back to the 14th century. Black-red colour, fruity aroma of cherry, blackberry and a slight hint of violet, velvety soft and spicy on the palate. An extremely popular red wine with class that can only be found in South Tyrol. SUPERIORE.DE

A wine with a prestigious name and a beautiful legend: God wept when he found a corner of heaven stolen by Lucifer and there, where his tears fell, grew the Lacryma Christi vine. An independent, characterful, extremely drinkable and very popular red wine from the foot of Mount Vesuvius. SUPERIORE.DE

Elisabetta Geppetti says she didn't want to jump on the popular Vermentino bandwagon and instead opted for this French-inspired blend to capture floral tones, drying mineral nuances and crunchy stone fruit from chalky soils. On the nose, a multi-layered bouquet with fine herbal notes. Powerful, fresh and elegant on the palate with a mineral acidity and citrus flavours on the finish. It is very refreshing to taste an original white wine from the Tuscan coast. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, sparkling golden yellow colour. Fresh nose of green peppers, gooseberries and a hint of pineapple. Shows an animating acidity structure on the palate, follows through well, fresh and very enjoyable to drink right through to the finish." Falstaff

"The 2023 Poggio Argentato is laced with green apple, ginger, jasmine, mint and yellow flowers. Exotic and light on its feet, this blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Sémillon and Traminer will make a delightful apéritif white over the next year or two. Poggio Argentato remains one of the most distinctive whites on the Tuscan Coast." Vinous

"This white wine is expressive and juicy and offers aromas and flavours of grass, chives, gooseberries and peach. Crisp acidity and a smooth texture introduce the long-lasting finish." Wine Spectator

"Lots of green melon, apples, crushed stones and flint on the nose. Medium-bodied with lovely depth of fruit and notes of spices, gunpowder, sliced apples and lemongrass. Flavoursome finish. Deep, but framed." James Suckling

The Greco, with its straw yellow colour and brilliant reflections, has a distinct aroma spectrum, from the delicate scent of white fruit to notes of vanilla, bracken and mint. On the palate, it impresses with its warm yet fresh flavour and balanced mineral structure with a lingering finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright golden yellow in colour. Yellow apple and pear on the nose, light spice, some camomile and tangerine blossom. Refreshing, juicy and slightly salty on the palate, a little melting in the final, thus persistent, inviting drinking flow." Falstaff

"It has a lovely nose of pear, orange blossom and peach. Also some salted almond. It's medium-bodied, fresh and clean, with a smooth and creamy texture." James Suckling

Dolcetto d'Alba Augenta is another outstanding wine from Giorgio Pelissero. Rich, voluptuous and enveloping, it offers generous dark red fruits, spices, leather and liquorice, all enhanced by a short ageing period in wood. Expressive with good intensity and maturity and a good finish. Has enough complexity and structure to harmonise with almost anything at dinner. SUPERIORE.DE

Unlitro di Ampeleia (1 Liters) expresses the vitality of the estate's youngest vineyards in a remarkable way. Notes of fresh berries and citrus fruits. Velvety soft on the palate, fresh, dynamic and enormously drinkable. A cheerful, lively wine that is also Demeter-certified. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Unlitro is fresh, aromatic and vibrant, all of which make it a delight to taste. Crushed flowers, herbs, mint, orange peel, spice and leather are all nicely lifted in this mid-weight red. A whole range of savory and floral overtones lift the finish." Vinous

Golden yellow with greenish reflections. Extremely pleasant aroma of ripe peach, elderflower, meadow flowers and warm cedar wood. Soft, supple and long in flavour, carried by a fresh acidity and subtle fruit sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE

"A richly spicy, full-bodied white showing cloves, chamomile, aniseed and dried mango on the nose. It’s layered, dense and oily in texture, with bright acidity to balance." James Suckling

Light-coloured stone fruit, minerals and flowers on the nose. Structured aromas and flavour, long and balanced. An impressively crisp and powerful white wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh, citrusy and a little leafy, with a medium body and tangy acidity. Dry and polished with a juicy finish." James Suckling

A zesty white wine with energetic, maritime flavours of citrus, lime and oyster shell. Focussed and long on the palate. The Grillo grape is a cross between Moscato and Catarratto, which explains the variety of aromatic sweetness and mineral finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Grillo SurSur opens with a burst of grapefruit and lime zest complicated by a whiff of savory herbs. This is highly energetic, with a zesty core of acidity and gingery spices propelled by juicy acidity. The SurSur finishes with medium length and a sour citrus resonance, resetting the palate for another tension-filled sip." Vinous

Powerful white wine with an interesting bouquet of lemon, orange peel, dried basil and fragrant jasmine. Generous and balanced tropical fruit flavours on the palate, delicately salty, enveloping and long. SUPERIORE.DE

Here comes a real rarity in the glass: white vinified Pinot Nero. Light yellow with golden reflections. Fresh bouquet of citrus, whitecurrant and herbs. Crisp, fresh acidity on the palate, yellow-white fruit and a fine salinity. A real delicacy as an aperitif or with octopus salat. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderfully balanced and delicious rosato: silky, with beautiful wild berry fruit and a beguiling harmony - Cassiopea is an ideal aperitif and, with its slightly salty note, goes perfectly with light fish and vegetable dishes and bruschetta. SUPERIORE.DE

"Refreshing, red-fruited character with notes of raspberries, nectarines and a hint of cherry blossom. Medium-bodied, crisp and crunchy with good length and intensity. Well made and focused." James Suckling

Bright, straw-yellow colour, floral and fruity notes in an elegant, slightly mineral fragrance. As it matures, the bouquet develops flavours reminiscent of sultanas and honey.

"Pale straw yellow in colour. Tangerine, lemongrass and pineapple on the nose. Fresh on the palate with animating acidity, good drinking flow." Falstaff

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

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

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

"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

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

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

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
