Vintage 2023

Benantis Etna Bianco from 100% Carricante is a delicately perfumed expression of Carricante with gentle mineral notes, white flowers and light flavours of peach or nectarine. The true protagonist, however, are the carefully dosed volcanic tones of ash and smoke. The bouquet will become even more refined with a year or more of ageing in the bottle. Fresh and round on the palate, great acidity and a saline vein, with a subtle sweetness on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This lean, minerally white is well cut and refreshing, with flavours of plump white cherry, lemon oil, spun honey and chamomile spreading across the palate, underscored by lingering notes of mineral smoke and salt on the savoury finish." Wine Spectator

"Expressive and robust, showing powerful elegance and great textural appeal, this is a Carricante that balances classicism and modernity. Green apple, quince, and white grapefruit at the core with an elegant top layer of lemon balm, white roses and linden. Very long on the palate with focus and a delicious chalky grip that makes it linger on the palate. Lingering notes of grapefruit pith, preserved lemon and pear peel." Decanter

Foradori's Teroldegos are world-class and the best from this very special grape variety. Typical subtle flavours of blackberries, fine tannins, elegant and long. A warm, very delicate and exceptional red wine with great potential to be remembered! SUPERIORE.DE

Etna Bianco is smoky in the glass and excites the senses with a burst of crushed rock and raw almonds before fading into a citrus-influenced peach. It is pleasantly soft and enveloping, with weighty textures supported by lively acidity. Mineral fruits and sweet spices meet on the palate. Finishes remarkably fresh yet grippy and long, leaving the mouth wanting more. The complexity of this wine is unrivalled for an entry-level Etna Bianco. SUPERIORE.DE

"Honey blossom, candied ginger, hints of fennel and crushed green apples form a savoury and inviting bouquet when the 2023 Etna Bianco opens in the glass. Ripe fruit meets a core of salty minerals and savoury spices, while a stimulating wave of acidity completely redefines the palate. The 2023 finishes perfumed and long, leaving a pleasantly tart hint of citrus that tickles the cheeks." Vinous

"This has a restrained white-pepper and mineral character, lemon bush and pulp. On the palate, the acidity is firmly integrated with citrus, flint, concentrated fruit and a medium to full body. The finish is supersavory and tense. Drinkable now but will improve with age." James Suckling

The extremely elegant Rosato from Livio Felluga is one of the rare representatives of its kind in Friuli. A beguiling bouquet of roses, pineapple and maritime rock. Elegant on the palate with fresh acidity; the fine and restrained style is somewhat reminiscent of the coveted Nerello Mascalese counterpart from the heights of Etna. Traces of redcurrant and papaya on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The small, museum-like island of Mozia in the Marsala lagoon is a production site of unrivalled uniqueness. It is a marine ecosystem that has always been linked to the vineyard. The English, who came to Marsala at the beginning of the 19th century and recognised its great potential, initiated the first planting. The vines are cultivated naturally using the Gobelet system with natural irrigation. The grapes are harvested in crates, brought to the mainland in flat-bottomed boats and then transported to the Regaleali winery in air-conditioned lorries to guarantee their aromatic integrity.

Since 2007, when the Tasca family was entrusted by the Whitaker Foundation with the implementation of a project to promote and revitalise historic Grillo vineyards, they have been looking after 12 hectares of vineyards in Mozia. This is where the best Grillo in Sicily comes from, which is unrivalled in terms of concentration and razor-sharp precision.

Pale straw yellow in colour. Tantalising, very refined aromas of nectarine, yellow flowers, lime and mint herbs. On the palate, it is fresh, juicy and dense, with a wonderful clarity and flavours of pome fruit and white stone fruit, accompanied by a lively and harmonious acidity. Its impressive finish is long and mineral. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, shimmering straw yellow with a silver-green touch. Restrained, initially slightly dry on the nose, slowly opening up to yellow stone fruit and hints of garden herbs. More precise on the palate, with a soft fruit centre and beautiful freshness." Falstaff

"The 2023 Grillo Mozia is youthful and shy, yet full-bodied, revealing a delicate blend of chamomile, green melon and a hint of candied lime. A blend of savoury and sweet flavours, ripe fruits and silky textures balanced by a zesty acidity. Sweet herbal notes emerge towards the end. The wine finishes with enormous length and a salty note, while the green citrus fruit aftertaste gradually dissipates. Mozia comes from Albarello vines that grow on sandy soils at sea level or slightly below. This is one of the most characterful Grillos produced in Italy today." Vinous

Pinot Bianco Praesulis is remarkably pretty. Bright silver with straw yellow colour. Peach, fine nuances of red berries and sweet sage on the nose. On the palate, juicy, racy, savoury, with a great pull and precise flow, plus a mix of candied lime and salty minerals that cut through its silky textures. The finish is long and remarkably fresh, with a salty note balanced by a hint of candied citrus. Already showing beautifully today, it has balance with a long and steady evolution. SUPERIORE.DE

βιαηκΩ is a highly precise white wine made from Erbaluce grapes from the Boca micro-region, which is so rare and popular that it is allocated every year. Matured in large oak barrels and acacia casks, this wonderfully fresh and independent white wine has found its best form with this vintage. It is well-structured, with good length, a rich, floral bouquet and full of charm. The fresh acidity on the finish makes the wine savoury and long. Flavours of wild alpine herbs and pears with a hint of exotic fruits are framed by a creamy texture and lead into a long-lasting final. SUPERIORE.DE

This extremely delicate Moscato, which was christened Kabir (the Great) in Arabic so as not to be overshadowed by the far more powerful Ben Ryé, never fails to surprise and delight. Elegant and balanced, beguiling scents of melon and orange peel, aromatic balance, sweetness and freshness on the palate. A delight with intensely flavoured cheeses and shortbread with white fruits. SUPERIORE.DE

Scent of lemon, white flowers and crushed rock. A desire for more. This southern drop from Etna does not disappoint on the palate either. Lively acidity and a long mineral finish make this white wine a perfect accompaniment to food. Structure, elegance and pure white class from Etna. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has a purity and focus with dried-apple and pear character as well as stone. Some flint undertones. Medium-bodied, it has tension and a solid core of fruit. Tight and precise. Lovely finish." James Suckling

Bright straw yellow. Very floral nose, predominantly of white roses, raspberries, lychee and white peach, in the aftertaste fine light spices. The drink has a delicate creamy fruit core and lively acidity, well balanced and not at all overloaded, drinks very well. SUPERIORE.DE

A multi-layered oil from the Chianti Classico. Powerful finesse, with aromas of freshly cut grass, notes of honey and sultanas. The flavour is peppery and spicy. SUPERIORE.DE

Davino Merois Pinot Grigio is smoky, with crushed stone and flint to counterbalance young peaches and pears. It is soft and pure, with ripe melon and sweet herbal notes on the inside that are heavy yet lively. It leaves a savoury aftertaste and makes you want more! SUPERIORE.DE

Bright red with violet reflections. Present scent of black cherry, almonds and violets. Then juicy and light, with a pleasant texture and medium density. As it progresses, elegant and fruity on the palate with a nice length. SUPERIORE.DE

Yellow spring flowers, apricots and crushed herbs pour from the glass of this flavoursome white wine, along with an inviting hint of yeast and fresh bread dough. The enveloping, medium-bodied palate picks up where the nose left off, offering ripe pear, unsweetened lemon candy, salt and white almonds alongside tangy acidity. A fine fennel note on the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Raccaro 2023 Collio Friulano Rolat displays a dry style with an emphasis on mineral tones and crushed oyster shells. It is matured exclusively in stainless steel. On the palate, however, there are again sweeter flavours of peach nectar and honeydew melon with a slightly creamy texture." Wine Advocate

"The Collio Friulano Vigna del Rolat 2023 by Dario Raccaro was honoured as White Wine of the Year 2025, a highly authentic wine made by a winemaker who knows how to respect nature and his vines." Dr. Wine

South Tyrol's Gewürztraminer has some top-class competition here: this unique white wine is made from one hundred per cent Albana grapes, 20% of which is only harvested as a late harvest after botrytis infestation in November. Only 2,800 bottles are sold.

Delicate gold colour with greenish reflections. On the nose, notes of white flowers combined with sweet, spicy fruit, citrus and mandarin notes, very precise and concentrated. Well-structured on the palate, the slight residual sugar gives it a certain opulence, but Tergeno always remains fresh and dynamic thanks to its considerable acidity. Full of character and personality! SUPERIORE.DE

Sauvignon Blanc Praesulis unfolds in the glass with hints of spicy herbs and lemon peel accompanied by gooseberries, grapefruit, and elderberries. Reassuringly soft and with a pleasant inner sweetness, it blends candied lemon with sour melon and lively acidity to create a powerful but juicy style on the palate. It finishes with vibrant tension and decent length, leaving behind concentrated citrus and pretty inner flowers. Wonderfully elegant and balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

Pietrabianca offers a contrast between richness and freshness and seduces with a blend of white flowers, almond paste, wet stone and crushed red pears. Silky and supple, it caresses the palate with an elegant wave of ripe peach and nectarine. Lingers long, leaving a mineral and acidic tension as notes of candied lime fade. Not only is it stunning today, but it has a bright future. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense straw yellow with sparkling reflections. Yellow peach, banana and orange blossom on the nose, with a subtle aftertaste of roasted almonds, cocoa butter and flint. Smooth on the palate, with a fine fruity flavour and subtle spiciness, soft and balanced, with a fine woody aroma and a certain saltiness on the final." Falstaff

"Fresh and graceful, with delicate notes of glazed apples, apricots and mandarins, with fragrant hints of macadamia nuts, honeysuckle and vanilla. Clean and slightly salty on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Lemon curd, honeysuckle, chopped apples and pears on the nose, plus some vanilla. It’s soft and creamy with medium to full body and pretty floral influences." James Suckling

Intense straw yellow with a light-coloured rim. Fine nose of flowers and white melon. Macrina, fragrant and balanced with its mineral-salty flavour and notes of flint, is a white wine with irresistible freshness, length and juiciness in every vintage. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow colour. Somewhat washed-out nose with melon and peach as well as culinary herbs such as sage and mint. Fresh, medium-bodied, juicy, slightly salty. Grapefruit on the finish." Falstaff

A racy, forward and extremely complex Chardonnay. The multi-layered bouquet of meadow flowers, grapefruit and butter is in full harmony with the pleasantly spicy taste and good acidity. Full of pressure and of fresh length. SUPERIORE.DE

This beautiful white cuvée made from Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Malvasia istriana has a seductive aroma of spring flowers, white stone fruit and citrus notes. The palate is round, full-bodied and enveloping, with creamy white peach, ripe apple and grapefruit as well as notes of crushed herbs and ginger, accompanied by a fresh acidity. A salty note enlivens the finish. A great wine with lots of potential! SUPERIORE.DE

This single-varietal Malvasia is a reference in the Collio every year. Elegant aromas of white peach, jasmine, magnolia, crushed rock and fresh herbs pour from the glass with every sip. On the palate, pine and fresh herbs combine with fresh apples and apricots, with layers upon layers of ever-evolving flavours. Great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Made in stainless steel only, this is a delicate and pretty wine with a charming and accessible style. If you have a bottle of the Raccaro 2023 Collio Malvasia, you'll enjoy drinking it while the primary aromas are so fresh. Jasmine and honeysuckle are on full display. Try it with an heirloom tomato salad with fresh basil leaves." Wine Advocate

Complex and rich bouquet of citrus fruit and sage flavours. Excellently structured and consistent on the palate with a fresh acid wire. This wonderful Sauvignon offers multi-layered fruit notes and great harmony with a delightful grapefruit flavour on the long finish. Good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has aromas of minerals, honeysuckle, flint and slice limes. It’s medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a tight and focused center palate. Tight and linear at the end, with density and focus." James Suckling

In addition to his Friulano vineyards, Dario Raccaro has been cultivating a small vineyard planted with 100% Guyot Pinot Gris vines for many years. Since the 2022 vintage, he has been selling just 2,000 bottles of this fine wine and we are delighted to have received an allocation. Pale straw yellow in colour, with a fine, floral bouquet with traces of flint and white smoke. Well-structured on the fresh palate, soft and flowing, very velvety and deep at the same time, a masterful interpretation of Pinot Gris! SUPERIORE.DE

Winkl is the winery's second cult wine after the iconic South Tyrolean Sauvignon, Quarz. A wonderfully accentuated wine. Sauvignon Winkl smells of lime, mandarins and mint with a hint of apricot, the bouquet is also reminiscent of crushed rock. Full of character on the palate with a fine acid wire, complex, well-structured, rich in flavour and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Crystalline bouquet with finely characterised fruit, fine yellow fruit and fresh herbs. Well-proportioned on the palate, very balanced with a fine mellowness and linear orientation." Weinwisser

"Bright, brilliant straw yellow with a greenish tinge. Grassy notes of gooseberry, some pink grapefruit, followed by blackcurrant. Fresh on the palate, pleasantly crisp, linear, opens up well with exotic fruit, light and pleasantly spicy in the medium final." Falstaff

"Flavours of melon, grapefruit sorbet, lemon curd, chive blossom and pickled ginger glide over the palate of this creamy white wine, which has good length and concentration. Expressive without excessive weight, while the mineral finish is moulded by a racy acidity." Wine Spectator
