Vintage 2023

Bright straw yellow in colour with a distinct, delicately fruity aroma of pear, this wine is dry, soft and slightly nutty in flavour. A wonderfully integrated acidity and citrus vein give it freshness, balance and structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sliced pears, apples and blanched almonds on the nose, followed by a fresh, mineral and medium-bodied palate. Very clean and pretty." James Suckling

"Elegant and restrained aromas of delicate flowers; lemon peel, lime, acacia and grassy, flinty notes on the palate." Decanter

Pale straw yellow in colour. Jasmine and lavender on the nose, a fine note of nutmeg and elderberry and a hint of apple and lemon. Precise, dry and fresh on the palate, with good acidity, flanked by citrus notes and the flavour of light peaches and green apple. Sicily tastes so aromatic, expressive and mineral-fresh! SUPERIORE.DE

"This is fragrant and flavorful with notes of yuzu, tangerine peel, cherry blossoms and lavender. Juicy and bright, with a medium body and a fresh, zesty aftertaste." James Suckling

It is only since the early 1980s that Chardonnay has been vinified as a single-varietal wine in South Tyrol. The pioneer was the St. Michael-Eppan winery, which experienced a tremendous upswing at that time. Their Chardonnay presents itself with wonderful aromas of melon and banana, an invitingly juicy taste and good length. SUPERIORE.DE

Lagrein Rosé, also known as Lagrein Kretzer, is a light ruby-red wine with a light and pleasant fruity flavour. Its fresh, lively character makes it great fun to drink on many occasions. SUPERIORE.DE

Santa Cristina Chardonnay has a colourful bouquet of aromas of dried quince, lemon, almond and minerals. The interesting flavour is well balanced and harmonious. A delicious wine with great drinkability. SUPERIORE.DE

Light yellow with greenish reflections, delicately scented with white melon. Varietal taste, dry, fruity, with a balanced body and nice breed. SUPERIORE.DE

This lovely Goldmuskateller can be recognised by its typical aromatic nutmeg scent, which is combined here with a light honeydew melon note. The fine residual sweetness gives the wine a pleasant softness and personality. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for this Chardonnay come from vineyards in the municipalities of Auer, Neumarkt and Tramin. Delicately fruity aroma and lively flavour with aromas of pineapple, pear, citrus fruit, some caramel and butter. SUPERIORE.DE

Sparkling, radiant golden yellow. On the nose, classic varietal tones of quince, pear, white peach and tangy citrus carefully correspond with the impression on the palate. The pretty mineral note gives the wine linearity and a brilliant sense of clarity. This fresh South Tyrolean Pinot Blanc is another example of Italy's great white wines, and this is especially evident in this truly honest price point. SUPERIORE.DE

The pure Vermentino Meri is stylish and crisp. Wonderful notes of lemon, honey, orange, pear and apple on the nose. Fresh and lively, but at the same time full and intense. The grapes are cooled in the vineyard immediately after harvest and are protected from oxidation - this allows them to retain their best possible flavour and gives the wine a richer, more complex bouquet. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with green reflections. A tropical nose of pineapple, mango and banana with a hint of nutmeg and orange blossom. Beautifully smooth on the palate, clear and precise, with good balance and a fruity, long final." Falstaff

"This is a very intense wine with flavours of lemon leaves, lime zest, oranges, mirabelle plums and white peaches. Complex and multi-layered. In the mouth it is soft and supple, with a silky texture, a light body and almost muscat flavours. A polished finish with refreshing acidity. Delicious to drink now." James Suckling

A beautiful, terroir-influenced rosato made from the autochthonous Aglianico grape variety. Its label is emblazoned with the coat of arms of the ruling house of Emperor Frederick the Hohenstaufen, who was at home here. Concise, fresh and fruity, certainly one of the most beautiful rosati from the volcanic terroir of Basilicata. SUPERIORE.DE

Full-bodied, very pretty Pinot Gris in a bright straw yellow colour with a pleasantly subtle, floral apple and melon aroma. Soft flavour with harmonious fullness and remarkable freshness. Delicate notes of nuts and honey develop after a period of ageing. SUPERIORE.DE

"Some white nuts and white fruit on the nose, which is simple and slightly neutral but delightful. The palate shows a crisp medium body and a creamy, medium-length finish. This shows good varietal character and purity." James Suckling

This fresh, aromatic Moscato giallo was vinified dry. The grapes come from selected, warm and sun-exposed vineyards on the Ritten above Bolzano at 500 metres above sea level. Pale straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. Aromatic on the nose, hints of nutmeg and yellow fruit. It has a well-integrated acidity and convinces on the finish with a subtle, refined mineral note. SUPERIORE.DE

Greco del Sannio from Terre Stregate is as clear and bright as the Northern Lights. It has an irresistible aroma of yellow tropical fruit, melon and lime. Full-bodied, soft and round on the palate with an animating acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale straw yellow with silver reflections. Intense aromas of yellow apple, ripe yellow peach, acacia honey and a hint of cream toffee in the background. Very fresh on the palate with a beautiful fruity centre, some spiciness and citrus zest in the mid final." Falstaff

"This is a medium-bodied, juicy and peachy white that has notes of nectarines, lemons, fennel and minerals. Bright and tasty." James Suckling

Brilliant raspberry pink colour. Subtle aroma of small red berries and some citrus with mineral and floral tones. The elegant, red-fruity, salty and fresh flavour is clear and polished on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very light strawberry pink; fresh fruity, red berry, inviting; berry-fruity, delicate sweetness, fresh, drinky, pleasing." (JLF) Merum

Pinot Grigio - an international bestseller and in this case a wonderful interpretation from South Tyrol. Peaches, apricots, lemon curd, lychees and melons on the nose, soft and elegant on the palate. This Pinot Gris impresses with its freshness and zesty acidity. A true classic. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh, simple aromas of nectarines, chalk and touches of sour cream and lees. Medium-bodied with creamy fruit and a lightly saline finish." James Suckling

"Our Dolcetto has a typically Piedmontese DNA. The careful vinification aims to make it softer and rounder to emphasise its drinkability. Thanks to its particular organoleptic characteristics, it not only accompanies Langhe dishes with elegance and harmony." Franco Massolino

Bright ruby red with violet reflections. Open and generous wine with lots of dark fruit, cherry and sweet blackberry. On the palate of medium weight, but thanks to the natural richness of the Dolcetto grape, full-bodied and with a vinous character. The typical, delicate almond note in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

When a winery only makes two wines, the "second wine" is rarely of bad parents. This is also the case with Etichetta Bianca, which is hardly inferior to its bigger brother from the single vineyard Minaia. Delicately fruity nose of citrus and elder with a nice herbal spiciness. Soft and full on the palate, the fresh acid wire makes it a wonderful food companion. In the middle finish, the typical Bergaglio refinement and mineral vein. SUPERIORE.DE

Rich blackberry fruit, spices and cherry stones on the nose and equally fruity on the palate. Lively cherries, raspberries and potpourri on the palate with a medium body, fresh acidity and firm tannins. Chianti Biskero from Salcheto is a juicy, open and cheerful wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Youthful and fragrant nose of wild cherries, raspberries, licorice and cinnamon. It’s medium-bodied, crunchy and firm." James Suckling

Light yellow with silver reflections. Orange zest with a subtle touch of stone fruit and delicate herbal spice on the soft nose. Medium-bodied, white apple fruit, mineral and persistent, restrained fruit sweetness on the finish, a multi-faceted and very fresh food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

Genius Loci is named after the Roman tradition of celebrating the spirit of the place. Fresh, refined and terroir-typical Fiano del Sannio. Smells spicy of sage and meadow flowers, complex on the palate with fine fruit and good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. Ripe fruit flavours of mango, pear, papaya and some pineapple on the nose, underpinned by spicy notes and a hint of vanilla. Fresh on the palate with hints of citrus fruit and a slight salinity on the final." Falstaff

Pinot Blanc is the most widely cultivated white grape variety in the region around Eppan, thanks to the cool nightly downdrafts from the Mendelstock and the lightly loamy limestone gravel soils. Bright yellow, refined fruit aroma of apple and pear, balanced and fresh with crisp acidity and a pleasing finish. SUPERIORE.DE

With the Lugana San Benedetto, Zenato shows anew every year how delicious the white wines from Lake Garda can be. Crisp apples, pears, flowers and spices are just some of the notes that flow from this graceful, very pleasing white wine. The flavour is spicy, full and harmonious and the vibrant acidity blends freshly and well-balanced into the overall picture. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense straw yellow colour. Fragrant nose of cut grass, white peach and green apple. Juicy on the palate, fresh pomaceous fruit and gooseberry, animating acidity, currently still a little young and ends delicately bitter." Falstaff

Purple dark red colour, beautiful foam. Cherry nose, continues in the fresh drink with notes of elderberries and a fine bitter note. A high-quality, dry and powerful Lambrusco from the Enrico Cialdini vineyard with remarkable juiciness and well-balanced sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium-light purple colour; subtly fruity nose; tart-bitter, matching sweetness, just fruity, pithy grass parossa." (JLF) Merum

"Deep dark violet colour with a fine head. Fragrant nose of juicy forest fruits, blackberries, violet blossom, with minimal earthy hints of beetroot, inviting. Juicy, clear on the palate, with a fruity core, but with a lot of tannin in the finish this year." Falstaff
