Vintage 2023

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 in 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

"Bright straw yellow with light greenish reflections. Lemon zest, peach and green apple dominate the nose. Very fruity-sweet on the palate, delicate perlage, good balance between sweetness and acidity, juicy finish." Falstaff

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.

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

A delicious white wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few years or even longer." James Suckling

The name La Rivetta has become a symbol of an excellent terroir. La Rivetta 120 stands for a special synergy of soil, microclimate and tradition, which is enhanced by 120 days of maturation on the lees. This is reflected in a brilliant yellow colour with a slight greenish tinge and a fine, delicate perlage. The aroma is reminiscent of Granny Smith apples, wisteria and acacia blossom. The flavour is fresh and fragrant with a yellow-fruity aroma. The result of extended ageing is a complex, creamy sparkling wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Lezér means "light" and so it is - in the most delicate sense. Light ruby red in colour, red berries and an interesting hint of violets on the nose. Smoke, freshly cut wood and a fine creaminess on the palate. A thoroughly fresh red wine right through to the finish, which goes well with warm weather and uncomplicated Mediterranean cuisine, especially when slightly chilled. The ageing in different containers such as amphora, cement tank and wooden barrel gives it an additional appeal and an unmistakable profile. SUPERIORE.DE
