Vintage 2023

Dark ruby red colour. Clear, tidy aroma of cherries and strawberries with a subtle hint of sweet spices. Very elegant tannins on the palate, medium body with fresh fruit and hints of minerality. Well-integrated acidity and a pleasant juiciness without intrusive sweetness make you long for the next glass! SUPERIORE.DE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A fine Rosso di Montepulciano with a typically fruity, spicy aroma and a solid body. It has just the right balance, is multi-layered, reveals an aromatic fruit and also has a final of decent persistence for the price range. 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

"Our Dolcetto has typical Piedmontese DNA. Careful vinification aims to make it softer and rounder in order to emphasise its drinkability. Thanks to its special 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. Medium-bodied on the palate, but full-bodied and vinous in character thanks to the natural richness of the Dolcetto grape. The typical, delicate almond flavour lingers on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba is a very pretty wine. Its floral overtones and mid-weight structure recall wines from a prior era, a time when Dolcetto was lighter than it generally is today. Lavender, spice and blue-toned fruits linger." Vinous

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

Animating white wine from Müller Thurgau with an aromatic bouquet, medium body and a pleasantly dry flavour with fine acidity and spiciness. SUPERIORE.DE

Fresh-fruity Pinot Blanc, light greenish yellow, a light apple note in the bouquet, aromas of nuts and green foliage. Very harmonious and balanced on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

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

Brilliant ruby red with purple reflections. Delicate fragrance on the nose with hints of pepper and violets. Velvety, balanced, juicy and dry on the palate. The perfect summer and barbecue companion when slightly chilled. SUPERIORE.DE

Hexenbichler is a popular red wine made from 100% Vernatsch with varieties such as small, medium and grey Vernatsch. Pleasantly full-bodied, persistent and round. The great harmony is due to the low yields and the (formerly common) variety diversity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense sweet violet flavours with an assertive peppery character and super-fresh blackcurrant fruit. A lean body with zesty acidity and velvety, crisp and slightly dry tannins. Balanced finish." James Suckling

With a fruity Mediterranean aroma of white and yellow fruit and a finely balanced, velvety-soft flavour, this Alastro is full of character. A very aromatic and at the same time extremely fresh companion for many occasions! SUPERIORE.DE

"A delicious, supple and enchanting blend of grecanico and sauvignon blanc. Aromas of dried apples, quince zest and fresh herbs, following through to a medium body. Vivid and crunchy with a seductive finish and some blanched almond character." James Suckling
