"The 2022 Barbera d'Alba Piani is dark, plummy and super-expressive. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, leather, tobacco, incense and white pepper all meld together in this juicy, wonderfully inviting Barbera from Giorgio Pelissero. This is such a gorgeous wine." Vinous

Pinot Noir from the best vineyards in and around Eppan. The compact clay soils with limestone deposits on porphyry rock offer ideal conditions for full-bodied grapes.

"Classic, radiant, light ruby red colour. Fresh cherries on the nose, slightly spicy, orange peel, pink roses. Very pleasant, light entry on the palate, tannins still somewhat present, fresh acidity, medium finish." Falstaff

Intense golden yellow colour, striking aroma of flowers and white stone fruit, all finely woven into the wood tannin. The wine is well-structured and persistent on the palate. A long-lasting white wine made from Trebbiano toscano, as not only winegrowers liked to drink it in the past. SUPERIORE.DE

"Apple peel, pie crust and sour cream on the nose, with a subtle twist of cashews. Lightly abrasive and weighty on the palate, with tightness, bright acidity and some nutty creaminess at the end. Pretty unique and serious." James Suckling

Bright ruby red colour, open-hearted notes of cherry, raspberry and violet, paired with green pepper and cloves. Delicate on the palate, with a nice tang. Delicate, fine tannins, vivaciously supported by a fresh acidity structure with subtle extract sweetness, round off this incredibly authentic and juicy Tuscan experience. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Chianti Classico is a fine entry-level offering from San Felice. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, new leather and a kick of orange peel all grace this soft, open-knit red. Drink it over the next few years." Vinous

"A cool earthiness defines the nose, with aromas of flint, wild herbs and tart blackberries, and then umami notes of mushroom and balsamic. The palate brings cherries and more berries, but dusty, chewy tannins and notable acid emphasize that flinty earthiness, which continues to anchor the wine." Wine Enthusiast

Impeccable Pinot Bianco in a brilliant light yellow colour with clean fruit aromas and lively minerality. Pear, quince and floral memories on the palate, with a brilliant, creamy texture. The delicate Pinot Blanc is one of the winery's trademarks. SUPERIORE.DE

Groppello gentile is a grape with tightly packed berries, small seeds and a very thin and fragile skin. It is certainly the most famous red wine grape on the Riviera del Garda and was already cultivated by the Romans in the Valtènesi.

Brilliant, deep ruby red colour. Pungent and very clear bouquet of fine spicy notes, plus an interesting potpourri of violets, sage, plum, pepper and olive wood.

Rich ruby purple and the typical aromas of bitter almonds and liquorice caress the nose and palate. The worthy successor to Mosesco shines with its full, fresh body and unexpected power on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Re Manfredi is a masterpiece made from the indigenous 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. Deep ruby red in colour, fragrant, intense and multi-layered bouquet, rich fruit, robust structure, fine tannins and clean, pleasant bitter tones in harmony, very dense, elegant, spicy and complex with a subtle woody note. A wonderful, characteristic red! SUPERIORE.DE

Bright cherry pink with light reflections. Subtly sweet nose of raspberry, strawberry and traces of citrus and honey. The palate is fruity and precisely forward, with a wonderful interplay of fruit and acidity and a savoury, very fresh style typical of Sorbara. With its fine perlage and respectable final, the winery's bestseller Brutrosso wins hearts in a flash! SUPERIORE.DE

The name La Rivetta has become a symbol of an excellent terroir. La Rivetta 120 stands for a special synergy of soil, microclimate and tradition, which is enhanced by 120 days of maturation on the lees. This is reflected in a brilliant yellow colour with a slight greenish tinge and a fine, delicate perlage. The aroma is reminiscent of Granny Smith apples, wisteria and acacia blossom. The flavour is fresh and fragrant with a yellow-fruity aroma. The result of extended ageing is a complex, creamy sparkling wine. SUPERIORE.DE

The "Collection" line is made from late-harvested grapes from selected, sun-drenched vineyards and stands for complex, straightforward wines that emphasise the terroir. The Comrades' vineyards are located in Siebeneich and Bolzano at 300 metres above sea level and offer ideal conditions for this wonderful Merlot to thrive. Dark ruby to garnet red in colour. Exuberant aromas of blackberry and wild berries, complemented by a refined spice component. On the palate, it is elegant, delicately fruity, almost polished. This Merlot is not at all plump like so many representatives of this grape variety - it is medium-bodied, finely accentuated and leads into a respectable finish with fine-pored tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red with violet reflections. Very attractive Barbera d'Alba with a clearly defined, fruity-meaty aroma, rose petals in the background. The harmonious taste is exceedingly juicy and full of crunchy red fruits. SUPERIORE.DE

Clean and refined white wine (Riesling & Durella) from volcanic soils with aromas of ripe yellow grapefruit, melon and a hint of wet straw. Medium-bodied with a silky texture that becomes slightly phenolic towards the end. A note of bitter lemon on the finish is exciting. Lots of crisp flavour, good freshness and length. SUPERIORE.DE

"A blend of Riesling and a native grape of the Veneto, Durella, this wine's aromas as a floral and citrus combination that ignites the salivary glands. The wine unfolds like an origami swan with jasmine, leading into Mandarin orange then to lemongrass. The palate is just as interesting with savory herbs matching the ripe stone fruit flavors as the wine rushes to the crisp and vibrant finish." Wine Enthusiast

"Despite the richness on the nose, with ripe orchard fruit, candied lemons, acacia flowers and hints of honey, this wine shows freshness, vibrancy, racy acidity and crunchy texture. Vivid and a little savory with mineral notes." James Suckling

"Sweetly enticing, the 2022 Cannonau di Sardegna Sincaru opens with a seductive blend of blueberries, cream, cola and violet pastille. It’s soft and enveloping with juicy acidity contrasted with tart red and blue fruits. This finishes crunchy in feel, leaving a coating of tarry blackberry to mingle with silty tannins through the long and lightly structured finale." Vinous

Pale straw yellow with silver reflections. Fresh bouquet with lime and grapefruit, roasted almonds, meadow flowers on the finish. On the palate, floral tones of lavender and white flowers with subtle grassy notes reminiscent of wild sage. The wine is fresh and perfectly balanced on the palate, with a pronounced flavour and minerality on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Extensive, quite complex aroma in the Vertigo, a Rosso from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberry, cherry and ink aromas and a warm, fruity, tannin-accompanied taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Argentieras Rosato is generous in its flavours of fruit and dog rose and has a very pleasant melting texture on the palate. An impeccable rosé with character and recognisability for high standards. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, shiny orange-pink colour. Very fragrant and inviting nose of pink flowers, soft peach and a hint of strawberries. On the palate, with a clear attack and flow, elegant citrus fruit, good pressure, slightly grippy, lingers for a long time on fresh fruit." Falstaff

Lagrein Perl opens like a fresh glass of blackberry jam. Sweet violets, confectioner's spice, musk berries and an enriching note of brown sugar create a deeply seductive bouquet. It is remarkably juicy and fresh, showing its ripe dark fruits while combining savoury acids and minerals to create an energetic expression. Very clear and clean to the end with beautiful hints of wild berries that slowly fade away. SUPERIORE.DE

A rosé made from Sangiovese according to the classic Pet-Nat method, harvested in the last half of August and whose carbonic acid is created unplanned by the almost complete fermentation of the sugar in the bottle. A sparkling wine with a yeast deposit that has played its way into the hearts of "natural wine" fans in a fresh and unconventional way. Ideal for aperitifs and light summer dishes. Unfiltered and unsulphured. SUPERIORE.DE
