Vintage 2023

This great Chardonnay comes from the Kleinstein estate in Signat near Bolzano. Bright yellow in colour with green reflections, a wonderfully fruity bouquet with aromas of apple, pineapple and banana. The typical flavour of a fresh Chardonnay on the palate: clear, elegant, full and pleasantly dry, with a long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Vibrant, radiant colour, rich in green-golden reflections. The rich fragrance of this Moscato d'Allessandria (Zibibbo) is floral of white roses and acacia, followed by mineral notes, peach and orange blossom, to finish with candied citrus fruits and a hint of honey. On the palate, the olfactory impressions of mineral origin and the fresh structure are confirmed, savoury and enveloping. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Lighea is a lovely and refined dry Zibibbo. It wafts up with an exotic bouquet that blends tropical citrus and melon with minty herbs and candied lime. It’s soothingly round and perfumed within with a wave of ripe citrus fruits and cooling acidity, maintaining fantastic energy throughout. The 2023 tapers off with medium length and a spicy sensation, leaving hints of kiwi to linger on." Vinous

Pinot Gris Stieler is the winery's latest creation and ideally reflects the grape variety, terroir and microclimate. Bright straw yellow in colour. Rich bouquet of apples and pears, hints of tropical fruit. Juicy and full on the palate, with well-balanced acidity and restrained, cool minerality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light lemon yellow in the glass. Subtle aromas on the nose, becoming more present with air. Hints of salt lemons, but also almond blossom, then yellow peach and some spice. Filling on the palate, with a powerful, sturdy body and rich fruit. Very delicate and fresh. Embedded, supporting acidity, which gives it a good tension into the long final." Vinum

Más de Fer is made from selected grapes from the Col de Fer and San Gallo hills. An exquisite cru that smells of meadow flowers and, with its pronounced fruitiness and delicate citrus acidity, is the ideal accompaniment from amuse-gueule to dessert. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with an olive-green hue and small, persistent bubbles. Mango and orange zest on the nose, with notes of yellow flowers. Smooth on the palate, with good freshness and velvety fruit melt, good tension and fine pressure." Falstaff

Clear, radiant greenish yellow. In the attractive bouquet aromas of buttercup, apple pie, stone fruits, lemon zest and some nutmeg. Medium-bodied on the palate, with flavours of rhubarb and lemon, linear acidity and a bright, slightly mineral finish. The grapes for this solid, dry white come from 900 metres above sea level in the area around Völs. SUPERIORE.DE

The almost 10,000 bottles of Rosato di Toscana from Rocca di Montegrossi are exemplary and perfect. Clean aromas of cherry and strawberry on the nose, lively, elegant and balanced on the palate with a lovely freshness, fresh, vibrant and long-lasting aftertaste of berries and spices. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Rosato is incredibly full of energy, like a horse waiting to jump out of the starting blocks. Ripe pineapple, pear and spiced citrus form the foundation on which the tangy, lively acidity flutters. The balance is admirable and beautifully rounded, showing a lovely inner sweetness. This bottle could empty quickly." Vinous

"Bright pink-red colour with sparkling reflections. Delicate nose of wild strawberries, tangerine peel, some honey, then citrus fruit and raspberries. Balanced and clear on the palate, with lively acidity and savoury fruit, finishing on fine citrus notes." Falstaff

The evening fall winds of the Mendel Mountains characterise the entire terroir of the St. Michael-Eppan winery. They ensure cool nights and give the grapes the extraordinary characteristics that characterise the aromas, unmistakable freshness and longevity of the wines. The fall wind is the natural force that blows over the vineyard every day, positively influencing the climate and supporting the valuable work of the winegrowers at the cooperative winery.

The Fallwind wines are ambassadors of their terroir and reflect the strengths of the growing region in a unique way. Most of them are from selected vineyards that have been cultivated for centuries. Strict quality guidelines, low yields, intensive manual labour in the vineyard and gentle and individual ageing in the cellar make them what they are: Characterful, precise and unique wines with varietal characteristics that will win over every connoisseur.

Fallwind Riesling is an extremely elegant wine. The German's favourite grape has found the ideal terroir in parts of South Tyrol. Riesling places high demands on the location and prefers a cool but very sunny climate. The porphyry soils there give it fruit, minerality and an ideal acid backbone. SUPERIORE.DE

Typical South Tyrolean sparkling wine: straw yellow with greenish reflections, fine nose, delicately fruity with a subtle yeast note. Lively and lively with lively, fresh acidity and medium weight. SUPERIORE.DE

Moriz is a fresh and fruity Pinot Blanc with character and beautiful intensity. Harmonious bouquet of white fruit and flowers. Clean, elegant and long on the palate. Great value! SUPERIORE.DE

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

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

Extremely delicate Sauvignon Blanc: fruity, wild bouquet with nuances of elderflower, gooseberry and tropical fruit. It is silky smooth and structured, with a balanced inner sweetness and minerality that caresses the palate with citrus fruit and a hint of nectarine. Just the right dose of fine acidity, very crisp and long on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Typical Sauvignon Blanc aroma with a concise pyrazine grape variety typicality: gooseberry, passion fruit, herbs, freshly mown grass, but also mineral and ethereal notes that express the limestone soil." Weinwisser

Vigna Ochera is the new name for the popular Vigne dei Piai and is a fantastic Prosecco Spumante di Valdobbiadene Superiore from the Rive di Rolle vineyard. Rich, shimmering green-yellow colour. A pronounced aroma of white flowers, lime and white roses, followed by quince and fresh butter. Pleasantly soft, fine bubbles, with a fresh apple flavour and invigorating taste. 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

The 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Tenuta San Leonardo is a fragrant and lively white wine that always remains true to the varietal character of the grape variety. The vineyards lie beneath snow-covered mountains and glacier-carved rock formations. Vette impressively reflects the sharpness and brilliant intensity of the panoramic region that has noticeably characterised it. The bouquet is reminiscent of exotic fruits and passion fruit, while the palate is characterised by well-integrated, racy acidity and a subtle mineral component. A fresh, juicy finish rounds off this marvellous drinking experience. SUPERIORE.DE

Our team drinks this after work, our very special insider recommendation for purists: finely balanced and very elegant Prosecco Millesimato Spumante Superiore with a shiny golden colour and green reflections. Floral bouquet, fine perlage and elegant flavours of pear and white fruit, which lend the aristocratic, dry structure a great deal of elegance and length. This is not an everyday occurrence, even in the noble DOCG Conegliano Valdobbiadene! SUPERIORE.DE

"Inviting, fresh and fruity; smooth foam, dry, subtle apple, also length, very nice." (JLF) Merum

Vulcaia is a soft, full Sauvignon Blanc with tropical fruits and rich toasty aromas. On the nose, citrus and sweet floral scents. On the palate mineral with exotic fruit and citrus, behind a layer of gooseberries and herbs that give the wine freshness and structure. Long and persistent final. It gets additional tension and a lot of personality from the volcanic soils of Monte Foscarino. SUPERIORE.DE

Prosecco Superiore La Primavera di Barbara shines bright and clear with a fine perlage in the glass. Complex aromas of peach, honeydew melon, jasmine and white pepper. On the palate, sweet fruit flavours are supported by herbal tones and a creamy texture. Great because it is simple and fragrant, but at the same time energetic and refined. A wonderful interpretation of the Rive di Col San Martino hillside vineyard. SUPERIORE.DE

Straw yellow in colour with light green reflections tending towards yellow.

The aromatically fresh Capitel Foscarino made from Garganega and a pinch of Chardonnay is delicious. Brilliant colour in the glass, beguiling fruit on the nose, round and harmonious on the palate with wonderfully integrated acidity and beautiful, grippy length. SUPERIORE.DE

"A pungent nose, offering spicy, almost aniseed-flecked white and stone-fruit aromas over a dense, minerally underlay. Full-bodied, round and intense, with a touch of phenolic firmness that drives the rich, ripe fruit through the long finish. Delicious white that you can enjoy now or hold confidently for a few years, or even longer." James Suckling
