Cherry red with a ruby red colour. Cherries and other red berries and a fine spiciness on the nose. Medium-bodied, with a lively freshness and good acidity. Its depth predestines it as an accompaniment to fine lamb dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

The almost 10,000 bottles of Rosato di Toscana from Rocca di Montegrossi are exemplary and perfect. Clean aromas of cherry and strawberry on the nose, lively, elegant and balanced on the palate with a lovely freshness, fresh, vibrant and long-lasting aftertaste of berries and spices. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Rosato is incredibly full of energy, like a horse waiting to jump out of the starting blocks. Ripe pineapple, pear and spiced citrus form the foundation on which the tangy, lively acidity flutters. The balance is admirable and beautifully rounded, showing a lovely inner sweetness. This bottle could empty quickly." Vinous

"Bright pink-red colour with sparkling reflections. Delicate nose of wild strawberries, tangerine peel, some honey, then citrus fruit and raspberries. Balanced and clear on the palate, with lively acidity and savoury fruit, finishing on fine citrus notes." Falstaff

The evening fall winds of the Mendel Mountains characterise the entire terroir of the St. Michael-Eppan winery. They ensure cool nights and give the grapes the extraordinary characteristics that characterise the aromas, unmistakable freshness and longevity of the wines. The fall wind is the natural force that blows over the vineyard every day, positively influencing the climate and supporting the valuable work of the winegrowers at the cooperative winery.

The Fallwind wines are ambassadors of their terroir and reflect the strengths of the growing region in a unique way. Most of them are from selected vineyards that have been cultivated for centuries. Strict quality guidelines, low yields, intensive manual labour in the vineyard and gentle and individual ageing in the cellar make them what they are: Characterful, precise and unique wines with varietal characteristics that will win over every connoisseur.

Fallwind Riesling is an extremely elegant wine. Germany's favourite grape has found the ideal terroir in parts of South Tyrol. Riesling places high demands on the location and prefers a cool but very sunny climate. The porphyry soils there give it fruit, minerality and an ideal acid backbone. SUPERIORE.DE

"A delicate and restrained riesling that’s well made and gently fresh. Aromas of lemon leaves, tangerines and white peaches, then zesty on the palate with a medium body and a tight, precise finish." James Suckling

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Bosco di Gica Brut is tangy and taut with sharp flavours of lemon, green apple and crisp white peach. The wine is delicate and bright with sharp, tiny bubbles that build beautifully to create lovely foam and lively effervescence. This is one of the most edgy and straightforward of Franco Adami's great sparkling wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with a persistent, airy perlage. Very fragrant on the nose, floral, white flowers, elderberry, white rose, some white stone fruit, citrus, very fresh. Balanced on the palate in terms of fruit and perlage, very round, right from front to back, good length, very fine!" Falstaff

The "Collection" line is made from late-harvested grapes from selected, sun-drenched vineyards and stands for complex, straightforward wines that emphasise the terroir. Intense, dark ruby red in colour. Blackcurrant, blackberry, cranberry and hints of violet on the nose. Full flavour of small red berries on the palate, underpinned by dark chocolate and a spicy finish. Despite its complexity, the wine is never overloaded, but instead impresses with its freshness and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

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 zesty acids and minerals for an energetic expression. Very clear and clean until the end with beautiful hints of wild berries that slowly fade away. SUPERIORE.DE

"This red is signaled by intense aromas of wild blackberry, black pepper, black olive and eucalyptus. Showing earth and underbrush accents that augment the fruity flavors, this firms up on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2021 Mediterra is bright, effusive and wonderfully inviting. Crushed flowers, herbs, tobacco, spice and leather meld into a core of juicy dark blue/purplish fruit. The Mediterra offers all of the immediacy of Bolgheri but with tons of freshness more than opulence. It is a hugely appealing style, especially at this level, where wines are typically intended to be drunk essentially on release." Vinous

"Dark chocolate, toasted walnuts, mocha and ripe dark berries on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied and structured with firm but very fine tannins. Shows notes of toasted cedar and bitter spices yet very delicate with integration and balance. Smooth and polished finish." James Suckling

Tre Filer is made from the sugary sweet must of overripe (stramature), dried white wine grapes and matures for a year in oak barrels.

"Quite a stern, savory nose with only a hint of the mixed dried and fresh berries that open up on the palate. This is medium-bodied, tight and focused, with lightly firm tannins that do little to obstruct the fruit flow. Long finish, where the more savory elements take back the reins. Super focus and control here." James Suckling

"The 2023 Il Rosé di Casanova is exotic and unmistakable. Almost Sauvignon Blanc-like in character, it develops notes of kiwi, gooseberry, grapefruit, thyme and tomato leaves. Bright, fleshy and slightly grippy, it leaves an absolutely dry, bitter flavour in the mouth (in a good way) that demands another sip. A tropical hint of mango and papaya lingers on the finish." Vinous

"This has a peach-pink color, with stone fruit, dried orange and dried flower aromas and flavors. Crunchy and minerally on the palate, with a medium body and attractive salinity at the end." James Suckling

Prinsipi from the small vineyard parcel of the same name was once developed by son Fabio as a 100 per cent Chardonnay and "little brother" of Bastia, but now 10 per cent Manzoni Bianco is added, which gives it more freshness and lightness. What also distinguishes it from the famous Chardonnay is the ageing in stainless steel. A fresh, crisp and very drinkable white wine that cuts a fine figure not only on its own and is now a firm favourite in the (now also organic) range. SUPERIORE.DE

Round, balanced flavour, medium body, fresh finish with fine tannins and a pleasant bitter almond note. SUPERIORE.DE

"From the Lageder family’s 8ha Römigberg estate above Lake Caldaro, where pergola-trained Schiava grapes are farmed biodynamically. The fruit is fermented partly in large wooden barrels, partly in stainless steel, and with some extended skin contact. A pale bright garnet colour, the nose is rosy and smoky with notes of pomegranate and cranberry over intense, spicy notes of cinnamon and clove. It has a juicy, ripe and supple palate yet with underlying firmness and good balance with lovely acidity, finishing with notes of plum and woodsmoke. Delicious." Decanter

Extremely delicate Sauvignon Blanc: fruity, wild bouquet with nuances of elderflower, gooseberry and tropical fruit.

Dark ruby to garnet red. Exuberant aroma of blackberries and wild berries, complemented by a refined spice component. The palate is elegant, finely 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 with fine-pored tannin into a respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderfully complex Soave from vines over 20 years old. Sparkling light yellow colour with green reflections. A restrained, reductive bouquet of bitter almond, flint, jam with white and yellow fruit flesh, dried fruit and biscuits. The palate is dry, warm and soft, yet fresh, spicy and slightly astringent, with a full, balanced body. With increasing aeration, it reveals its great complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Smells of chamomile and honey, just a teeny bit smoky. Beeswax texture, dense and fondu smooth, but the flavours are anything but. It's fireworks, a kaleidoscope of pepper and sage, candied citrus peel and grilled yuzu. Aloe and lanolin. Pear and tofu curds. Green almonds and walnut. Wonderful saltiness and great tension shaping the finish into long, intent focus." Jancis Robinson

"This Soave is characterised by its indelible concentration, its compact balance and its impeccable details. Complex notes of cardamom, cherries, quince, tamarind and smoked curry leaves. An intoxicating substance. The skilful handling of the skin and careful crafting have produced a style that stands out from the crowd so much that it attracts the drinker in search of loyalty to place and a real point of difference. A whirlwind of intoxicating complexity. A wine for the nerd, the thrill-seeker and the everyday drinker all at once." James Suckling
