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

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

"Dark shimmering ruby red with a brightening rim. Deep and powerful nose of blackberry jelly, roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Shows a polished, fruity-sweet attack, then with dominant, grippy tannins." Falstaff

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

"Brilliant silver grey. On the nose, roasted hazelnuts, yellow peach, a hint of banana, milk chocolate on the finish. Notes of hazelnuts on the palate, dense and full-bodied, with well-integrated perlage, long finish." Falstaff

"A fruity sparkling that has aromas and flavors of pear, nectarine and melon. It’s bright and juicy with easygoing bubbles and a clean, refreshing finish." James Suckling

Intense and clear bouquet, spicy and scented of roses, peach and white flowers. On the palate, beautiful rich and aromatic fruit, but also sparkling acidity that gives the wine tension and freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

High-quality Trebbiano Superiore with structure and a beautiful correspondence between aroma and flavour. Convincing with fresh, spicy to sweet flavours and a crisp, fresh finish, this organically produced white wine is a joy to drink! SUPERIORE.DE

"Lush, bright gold colour. A nose of squeezed lemon and lemon pieces as well as fresh pineapple, reminiscent of fresh resin, plus sea salt and rosemary. Juicy on the palate, with pronounced fruit and well-integrated acidity, savoury, spans a beautiful arc, also slightly floral in the middle section, dry, slightly phenolic finish." Falstaff

"A dusting of autumnal spice, raw almonds and musky dried apricots create an inviting bouquet as the 2021 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Riserva Spelt opens in the glass. There's a pretty inner sweetness up front complicated by saline minerals and tart orchard fruits. This finishes crisp and with admirable length, leaving tropical inner florals." Vinous

"An impressive Trebbiano, also from organic cultivation. Yellow plum on the nose, with a hint of wild sage and hawthorn, crisp and salty on the finish, with balsamic and fruity notes, a clear snapshot of the area's great potential." Luca Gardini

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

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

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

Dark ruby red colour. Dense bouquet of blackcurrant flavours, cocoa and a floral note of mild herbs. Full-bodied and fruity on the palate. The well-balanced components make the wine appear like velvet and silk. SUPERIORE.DE

"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

A finesse-rich cuvée of Corvina, Sangiovese, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that seduces the nose tirelessly with fruit and herbal aromas, while the taste offers considerable substance and richness with a mixture of lightness and tension. Impressive how this Vintage Edition does justice to the expressive and harmonious style of the house and the old Veronese tradition. SUPERIORE.DE

Antonio Bragato, born in Germany but with an absolute Friulian identity, joined forces 20 years ago with Gianni Maccari, who was cellar master at Livio Felluga for many years and founded his own winery Ronco della Rocca at the beginning of the millennium. Maccari, who has a degree in agronomy and Oenologist, is considered one of the best-trained viticultural experts in Friuli. The profound knowledge of his own 12 hectares of vineyards as well as the leased plots and the radical precision in the execution of every operation characterise the clear style and the reliable quality of the wines that Antonio Bragato creates there together with him.

From the 2019 vintage, Bragato's wine experiment enters a new era. Since then, the team has relied on an even more rigorous selection of the oldest vines from the coolest and best sites. The results of the "New Edition" can truly be seen and tasted. They are even more radical in complexity and finesse. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers the smallest editions of these wines, which confirm the many years of work and experience of the two quality fanatics!

In 2021, there was a truly exceptional harvest in Friuli. All the elements - acidity, low PH values, opulent extracts, juiciness, richness of aromas - are impressively present in the white wines. At the same time, the wines appear cool, racy and elegant despite their richness. Antonio Bragato's Sereno 2021, a white cuvée that he has brought to life impressively and even more precisely than ever before after a six-year break, is just as complex and full of tension. On the inviting bouquet, fresh, captivating aromas of pineapple, stone fruits, white flowers, bread crust and white currants. Juicy and very punchy in the drink, with a race and creaminess that is irresistible. The 7-month ageing on the fine lees provides complexity and depth that is exceptional for an "entry wine" into the great world of Bragato wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"Comes from 25-year-old vines. An all-rounder to start with, modelled on the Terlaner Cuvée. Unripe pineapple, one immediately senses the Sauvignon Blanc share, the Friulano rounds off the wine towards the back. Pleasing without being interchangeable." Weinwisser

"Ripe yet delicate pineapple aromas with notes of white flowers and candied lemon. Ripe and juicy, but also gentle and discreetly structured. The lively interplay of mineral freshness and animating acidity makes it hard not to like." James Suckling

"Fragrant, pineapple and mango, passion fruit and elderflower. In the mouth, the wine combines pressure and juiciness, the lively acidity and tactile-mineral motifs give it momentum and tension, the intensity of the (overall still closed) palate structure remains at a high level for quite a long time. May develop into great elegance." Falstaff

Straw yellow colour and intense, multi-faceted fruit aroma of honeydew melon and summer flowers. Lots of substance on the palate, complex and of great aromatic depth with good structure and length." SUPERIORE.DE

Lezér means "light" and so it is - in the most delicate sense. Light ruby red in colour, red berries and an interesting hint of violets on the nose. Smoke, freshly cut wood and a fine creaminess on the palate. A thoroughly fresh red wine right through to the finish, which goes well with warm weather and uncomplicated Mediterranean cuisine, especially when slightly chilled. The ageing in different containers such as amphora, cement tank and wooden barrel gives it an additional appeal and an unmistakable profile. SUPERIORE.DE

"A supple balance of redcurrants, raspberries, a hint of lavender and fresh leaves on the nose. Juicy light red cherry on the palate, very fine, rather subtle tannins and an elegant, impressively integrated acidity structure. A summer red wine for the terrace. Best enjoyed slightly chilled." Vinum

"Fresh and crunchy, with red berries, pomegranate, dried orange peel and hibiscus. Medium-bodied and dry, with crushed stone minerality. Slightly chalky in the finish." James Suckling

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

With its fertile soils on sunny and partly very steep slopes at an altitude of up to 700m, the Vinschgau Valley (the upper part of the Etsch Valley) offers ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir. Stimulating, fresh bouquet of raspberries and wild strawberries. Lively, very fresh and with the elegance typical of the grape variety. The very discreet tannin structure gives this rosato a long-lasting and incredibly juicy final. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for Rivus come from the best Lagrein vineyards in Neumarkt and Auer, some of which are 100 years old. Rich purple red colour. Aromas of wild blackberries, tobacco, herbs and lavender. Energetic body, not too heavy, soft, silky tannins and bright acidity. Spicy and flavoursome with a juicy and lively finish. Nice ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Tart, cool and slightly ethereal herbs, also bitter almond oil and green cherry and blackberry scents. Clearly on the vegetal side with coolness, earthy spice and juniper berries. The citric acid freshness characterises the palate, extremely clear and straightforward and the opposite of a flatterer." Vinum

"Dark cherries, mulberries, rose petals and violets on the nose. Some dried herbs and cocoa, too. Juicy and blue-fruited palate with a medium body and crunchy, racy tannins. Rich but fresh and flavorful." James Suckling

Capitel Croce is Anselmi's top white wine, made from 100% Garganega grapes and matured in old oak barrels. It opens slowly in the glass, with notes of green citrus and dusty dried flowers merging with freshly cut apricots and hints of ginger. It has a silky texture with ripe fruit and mineral notes that increase with every second. Finishes with medium length, blending young, crisp peach and inner flowers. Give this wine another year in the bottle to develop. A wine full of grace and elegance, full of finesse and complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pronounced, sparkling golden yellow colour. Pleasant aromas of ripe apricots and yellow peach on the nose, followed by a touch of marzipan and hints of tropical fruit. Round and supple on entry, stretches beautifully across the palate, with precise fruit and a lingering finish." Falstaff

"A fresh, supple white with a mineral undertone of smoke and stone that brings out the flavours of pineapple, yellow plums, pickled ginger and chive blossom. A crisp finish." Wine Spectator

"This wine puts its soul into the glass with flavours that come and go but never leave you. Notes of dried mandarin, apricot, jasmine, tarragon and savoury spice. Not to be outdone, the palate is lifted and vibrant with fresh acidity and notes of lemon oil, balanced almond and flint." Wine Enthusiast

"Citrus fruit and a hint of sweet lychee character, along with a touch of oak. Medium-bodied with a rich core of ripe, sweetish fruit. The notes of dry almonds and fresh oak in the aftertaste have a slightly deadening, phenolic effect." James Suckling

"Garganega vinified in purrezza and matured in barriques, very multi-faceted aroma, notes of yellow plums, with hints of wild mint, lemon peel and gerbera. On the palate, it is spicy and crisp, with fruity-menthol and floral-citrus notes." Luca Gardini

The Barbera Quass from the hills of the Langhe DOC has enormous concentration and depth. Dark berries, flowers, cloves and leather on the nose, lots of spicy cherry fruit on the palate, articulate and structured, with a soft core of blackberry and exuberant acidity. Very appealing! SUPERIORE.DE

Strong yellow colour, elegant and fragrant bouquet of exotic fruits, peach, lemon peel, hazelnut and chalk. Medium to full-bodied with layers of ripe fruit and bright, penetrating acidity. Polished, long and delicate finish. SUPERIORE.DE
