Vintage 2023

Racy and rich, the Dolcetto d'Alba Falletto from Serralunga near Giacosa's excellent Barolo sites. Its powerful style, dark, rich and ripe expression, firmly packed with fruit - a very special wine with beautiful potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Exciting, balsamic, white cuvée from Vermentino, Trebbiano and Malvasia - with a handful of Traminer and Riesling. Initially reductive on the nose, then dark yellow fruit, some smoke. Very direct, straightforward and grippingly mineral on the palate, with crisp acidity, citrus zest and fine juicy yellow fruit. Lingers on the palate for a long time and, with its race and alpine freshness, makes you briefly forget that this linear and very concise white wine comes from Tuscany. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Pianvecchio 2023 is a rare, co-fermented Vermentino/Riesling blend from young vines. Pretty floral nuances and a hint of orchard fruits adorn this light-coloured, very expressive white wine. It opens up beautifully with a little time in the glass." Vinous

"A racy and crisp white with a medium body, crunchy acidity and a chalky texture. Fresh lemon, savory herb and citrus blossom aromas and flavors. Refreshing and flavorful. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

Spicy, fruity notes with sweetish hints. Mild nuances of herbs and artichokes in the flavour, overall a very smooth olio that harmonises perfectly with fish and vegetable dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

The organic green olives are harvested by hand and then processed in the company's own oil mill within 12 hours. An olive oil full of character with intense coratina fruit, bitterness and spiciness, rounded off with notes of fresh grass and tomato. An ideal accompaniment to garlic dishes from bruschetta to Aglio Olio pepor savoury dishes with pulses and grilled, dark meat. SUPERIORE.DE

A medium-fruity olive oil with subtle nuances of flowers and fruit. The flavour has a harmonious sharpness and a fine bitter note, making it ideal for spicy meals and dressings. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliant dark ruby red colour. Creamy bouquet with delicate hints of dark chocolate and black cherry. Consistent flavour with a delicate, typical bitter note, again black fruit and a wonderfully fresh tangle of acidity and tannin. A perfect and inexpensive introduction to the great wines of Roagna! SUPERIORE.DE

Olio CampoCorto is the result of years of work and study. It is mainly produced from olives of the Frantoio variety, the most typical and characteristic variety of this region. The olive groves are located among the woods of Badia a Coltibuono in an unspoilt environment. Golden yellow colour with green reflections. It has an intense herbaceous aroma with notes of artichoke and aromatic herbs. The flavour is full of character, intense and lively with a spicy aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

As exceptionally good as the wines from San Fabiano Calcinaia, their olive oil is also world class. Intense grass and fruit aromas on the nose, the flavour with fine notes of bitter almond and fresh herbs. SUPERIORE.DE

This fine Olio di Oliva Extra Vergine from Le Cinciole comes from Panzano and exclusively from organic cultivation. Four authentic varieties combine to create a multi-layered flavour: Frantoio, Moraiolo, Corregiolo and Leccino. Once the fruit has reached optimum ripeness, it is carefully harvested by hand and gently cold-pressed in the oil mill within 48 hours.

An effort that is not only reflected in the diverse flavours: The appearance is juicy green with golden reflections. The flavour of this olive oil is sparkling clean and lingering. With a slightly savoury note, it is nevertheless delicately fruity and elegant. Enjoy this high-quality vegetable oil pure on toasted bread or with burrata. Buon appetito! SUPERIORE.DE

A small part of the olive groves around Podere Albereto is reserved exclusively for the production of this very special oil, which is only bottled in very limited quantities (5,000 bottles). The colour of Albereto extra virgin olive oil is an intense emerald green. It has an intense, herbaceous fragrance with notes of asparagus and aromatic herbs such as tarragon and sage. The flavour is intense and strong, with a characteristic aftertaste reminiscent of the vegetables perceived by the nose. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright green olive oil from the groves of the Sicilian winery Gulfi. The Hyblean Mountains, also known as Monti Iblei, are home to this extra virgin olive oil from controlled organic cultivation. The olives, mainly of the Tonda Iblea variety, are carefully picked by hand and pressed exclusively by mechanical means.

Intensely fruity in flavour, with fine nuances of fresh grass and tart artichoke. The flavour has a fruity weight and an inviting, light spiciness. A delicious accompaniment on its own or with aromatic bruschetta, but also perfect with grilled vegetables or fish. SUPERIORE.DE

High-quality, organic olive oil from the first cold pressing. A wonderful addition to Mediterranean cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

"There are around 1,500 olive trees on our estate. Many of them are centuries old. And we feel an obligation towards them, a historical memory that flows through our veins today. I would never dare to say that our oil is the best oil in the world. There is no such thing as the best oil in the world. I would say that there are certainly others who look after their trees and their olives like we do, but none who do it more than we do.

Our trees have always been grown organically. They are carefully pruned every two years. The olives are all picked by hand and the day's harvest is pressed every evening. The oil is decanted and naturally clarified until February/March and bottled without filtration. Our volcanic soils give it sweetness, finesse and flavour. The cold nights limit the presence of the oil fly. The result is an excellent extra virgin olive oil." Marco de Grazia, Eigentümer

The production of high-quality olive oils at Pandolfa dates back to the 16th century. The olives all come from the company's own olive groves around Predappio. Intense, bright yellow-green colour. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly picked olives with an intense flavour of wild herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and delicate, with a sweet note and a slight sharpness that diminishes with further months of storage (cool and dark). SUPERIORE.DE

Planeta's famous Chardonnay exudes a large and rich bouquet with aromas of apricot, apple, lemon, honey and lime. On the palate, the same intense flavours, delicate melting paired with fruity freshness and beautiful length. A Sicilian white wine at the highest level since its debut vintage in 1995, it definitely needs a few years to mature in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

This beguiling Gewürztraminer is one of the most exciting growths in the wine world and is the favourite of Italians. Golden yellow in colour with an aromatic potpourri of roses, exotic fruits and oriental spices. Powerful and complex in flavour with a subtle residual sweetness and a long finish. Gewürztraminer Sanct Valentin is an absolute top wine that promises wonderful drinking pleasure even after many years. SUPERIORE.DE

The olives for this oil are picked exclusively by hand. Some of them are only picked in December. Immediately after harvesting, the olives are ground and cold-pressed to preserve the characteristics of the fruit in the oil. Before bottling, the oil is filtered through cotton wool to separate it from the fruit water deposit, which would affect the original quality over time.

The higher degree of ripeness of the olives achieved by the late harvest guarantees the production of an olive oil with a distinctly soft and delicate character. SUPERIORE.DE

The Fanti family owns over 8,500 olive trees of typical Tuscan varieties, all planted in the hilly areas of the estate. The extra virgin olive oil is produced in the estate's traditional oil mill, where the olives are processed at room temperature to preserve their natural flavours. Multi-layered and of powerful finesse with aromas of freshly cut grass, notes of honey and sultanas. The flavour is peppery and spicy. SUPERIORE.DE

Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is probably the best-known white wine from the St. Michael-Eppan winery. It has been vinified from carefully selected single vineyards at the foot of the Mendelstock since 1989. Yellow-green in colour, dense bouquet of yellow fruit, gooseberry, elderflower and ripe redcurrant, smooth on the palate with elegant, floral fullness and crisp acidity. A great and very savoury top wine and probably the most award-winning white from the internationally highly respected winegrowers' cooperative. SUPERIORE.DE

Conte della Vipera is a tribute to the first owners of the castle and the label refers to the 13th century chapel of St John, which is located on the estate. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 250 to 350 metres above sea level on soils rich in fossilised marine deposits.

The sophistication of this wine is largely due to the composition of the grape varieties: fresh, vertical and aromatic Sauvignon Bianco, soft and tropical Sémillon. Straw yellow in colour with bright green reflections. The bouquet is full and broad and pleasant with notes of flowers, white fruit and pineapple, which combine with citrus notes. A pleasant freshness on the palate, then notes of bergamot and grapefruit on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Silent greatness. Noble is he who is self-sufficient. Perhaps a little demanding and in any case sensitive. But has many sought-after qualities: Clarity, freshness, complexity." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

Sparkling green-silver Sauvignon Blanc with intense and inviting aromas of grapefruit, lychee and white peach. Full-bodied and very racy in the attack, then mineral and elegantly slender with a fine acidity and subtle extract-sweet core. Very long. SUPERIORE.DE

The four wines resulting from the collaboration between Dolce & Gabbana and Donnafugata show attention to detail and unconditional love for Sicily. They are the perfect expression of two top companies "Made in Italy". They represent the aesthetic fusion of craftsmanship, creativity and Sicilian passion. Together, they have created a unique collection of wines and packaging that emotionally capture Sicilian culture and lifestyle and express a clear commitment to the beauty and tradition of Sicily.

Bright pale pink colour. Floral, fragrant bouquet of jasmine blossoms and rose petals as well as fine fruity notes of white peach and bergamot. Fresh, elegant and mineral on the palate, great length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Wonderfully spicy, the 2023 Rosa is a pretty pale pink color with a bouquet of lime-infused green apples and hints of confectionery spice. It opens with a pretty inner sweetness that gives way to vivid white pear and zests of orange. A core of vibrant acidity maintains fantastic energy within. This cleans up beautifully, crisp and refreshing with a salty flourish—a fantastic rendition of Donnafugata's Rosa, despite the difficulties of the vintage." Vinous

Deep golden yellow in colour. Sweet, spicy aromas of acacia honey, burnt sugar, mango and liquorice on the lush nose. The palate is also multi-layered and rich with opulent flavours of grapefruit, passion fruit, acacia honey and cinnamon, and more than enough acidity to keep it from being broad. The finish is long and beguilingly sweet. Roen is hardly less complex than its more famous "big brother" Terminum and is certainly a spectacular sweet wine. Here, residual sugar, acidity and alcohol content are in marvellous harmony. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine Prosecco Spumante Superiore from the renowned Cartizze growing zone: Brilliant silver-grey, very elegant with a fine perlage, pleasantly sweet note and fine fruit reminiscent of dewy August apples and citrus fruits. Long, creamy and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

"Straw yellow with a subtle perlage. Delicate expression on the nose, lightly reminiscent of grapefruit and white flowers. Sweet and fruity on the palate, smooth, with well-integrated perlage and a golden finish, clean." Falstaff
