A fine and extremely affordable little Supertuscan from a very good vineyard. Ruby red in colour, it has a pleasantly fresh aroma of cherries, redcurrants and nutmeg. Its fruity and unadulterated flavour is crisp, yet very harmonious and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Poggio Badiola, the estate's entry-level offering, is terrific. Bold, juicy and forward, the 2022 offers tons of immediacy and overall appeal. The style is a bit more serious than in the recent past, which is great to see. I would prefer to drink this over the next few years while red-toned fruit and floral overtones remain vibrant." Vinous

Franz' Pinot Grigio presents itself with an intense straw yellow colour, a floral-spicy bouquet reminiscent of acacia blossom, hay, almonds, sage and sandalwood, enriched with aromas of sliced apples, pears, lemons and honeydew melon after appropriate bottle ageing. On the palate, the wine enchants with its delicate, elegant finesse and juicy, fresh fullness. The Pinot Grigio shows its best side after a few months of ageing in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

"The crisp acidity provides a lively framework for the flavours of Gala apple, nectarine, pickled ginger and stone, which are evident in this balanced, light white wine." Wine Spectator

"This shows aromas of peaches, candied apples, dried herbs and citrus peel. Medium-bodied, rich and round-textured on the palate with a juicy, fruit-driven finish." James Suckling

Pagis" becomes "Fallwind". The Fallwind wines are ambassadors of their terroir and reflect the strengths of the growing region in a unique way. Most of them are selected sites where viticulture has been practised for centuries. Strict quality guidelines, low yields, intensive manual work in the vineyard as well as gentle and individual maturation in the cellar make them what they are: Wines full of character, precise and unique, which convince every connoisseur with their varietal characteristics.

This beautiful Parade-Vernatsch in radiant ruby garnet smells fresh and fruity of red fruits. Smooth fullness and elegance on the palate and a subtle note of bitter almond on the finish. It comes from the south-eastern slopes above the South Tyrolean Wine Road, between St. Michael and St. Pauls, and is a South Tyrolean classic with a pleasure guarantee. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright, light golden yellow in colour. Ripe stone fruit, dried fruit and yellow flowers on the nose, with hints of white pepper on the finish. Fresh and juicy on the palate, well-balanced, full-bodied, drinky, creamy and with a respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Sofi Rosso is a cuvée made mainly from Lagrein and a small proportion of Merlot from vineyards between 230 and 350 metres above sea level.

Aromatic cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale. Delicate, floral bouquet with fine nutmeg notes. Fresh and lively on the palate, convincing with fine precision, fullness and backbone. SUPERIORE.DE

Strong, full red. Fragrant bouquet of bougainvillea and red fruits, with hints of candied fruit. On the palate, strong blackberry tones, then a spicy blend of pomegranate and candied fruit. A soft, round and full wine, but never satiating or overbearing. SUPERIORE.DE

Tradition, innovation and typicity are the key words of the daily endeavours at the Arnaldo Caprai winery. And so this white wine from the old, indigenous Grechetto variety is traditional, straightforward and pleasantly drinkable - and anything but banal. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicate straw yellow with greenish reflections. Restrained nose of gooseberry, citrus fruit and garden daisies. Surprisingly fruity-sweet on the palate with lively acidity. Salty, lingering final." Falstaff

"The 2023 Grecante is a real pleasure on the nose. It shows crushed rock, dusty dried flowers, lively fresh pears and yellow apples. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness accompanied by crunchy fruit and a hint of sweet spice. Lively acidity provides fantastic balance and presence, while the 2023 tapers off with a subtle train of crisp tannins and a lemony concentration that slowly fades away." Vinous

The bouquet of this Sangiovese blend opens slowly to reveal its wonderful aroma of red berries and fine spicy notes. A natural concentration, immense softness and harmony on the palate, counterbalanced by well-structured tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. A hint of grapefruit, white flowers and freshly cut grass on the nose - the addition of a few per cent Sauvignon Bianco gives it aromatic intensity and a certain depth. A lively white wine that finishes cheerfully with a light citrus note, making it a perfect terrace wine - solo or with light antipasti served cold. SUPERIORE.DE

Light yellow colour, fresh fruit on the nose, inviting bouquet, juicy, fresh and pleasantly lively structure on the palate. A harmonious, refreshingly light-footed and at the same time quaffable wine. SUPERIORE.DE

This fresh Rosato takes its name from the "Crete Senesi", a landscape created by erosion, which is only a short distance from the winery. Pale pink in colour with a scent of red grapefruit with red berries and spices on the palate and a slight saltiness on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The Gianni Masciarelli line is intended to embody the typicality of the region and this Rosato is therefore strong and full-bodied, as you would expect from the grape variety and terroir. Intense cherry pink colour. Delicately fruity and spicy aroma, robust on the palate with plenty of structure. A fine minerality and berry fruit on the finish, a fabulous rosé. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark salmon red with copper-coloured reflections. Pronounced bouquet of lime, grapefruit and some orange zest." Falstaff

The fermentation of this fine Marsala is interrupted by the enrichment with brandy aged for at least 5 years in oak barrels. Intense ruby red. Very fruity bouquet of black cherry, pomegranate and plum. In the long, full taste sweet with present red fruit, cherry and again pomegranate. SUPERIORE.DE

The "white queen of Navarre" gave her name to this wine. The grapes come from Alcamo from clayey vineyards at an altitude of 350 metres. Pale yellow to straw yellow colour. Refreshing aroma of citrus fruits and apple zest. It is always amazing how clearly contoured and mineral wines come from the hottest part of Italy. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby-red cuvée with an aromatic nose of dried red fruits, walnuts and lively spices. On the palate, notes of elderberry, red berries and wood as well as the fine Ripasso sweetness. A rarity in this attractive price range. Fine, balanced, with a certain spiciness and juiciness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Notes of ripe strawberries and mulberries with undertones of ground spices and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, juicy and tense with crunchy tannins and racy acidity. Shows freshness and concentration." James Suckling

Light amber. The more than 2 years maturing in oak barrels makes this Marsala very balanced, in the bouquet the typical Marsala aromas are rounded off by a fine oak spice. On the palate rather moderately dry with an enveloping aroma of black cherry and a fine nutty note. The classic for dessert. SUPERIORE.DE
