“Ca' Brione” Alpi Retiche IGT 2022
Ca' Brione is Nino Negri's top white wine and was first produced in 1986. The geological origins of the soil go back to the time when the African and European plates collided, forming the Alps. The rock diversity that resulted gives the wine minerality and elegance.
Fresh yellow with greenish reflections. Balsamic, elegant, slightly reductive bouquet with hints of apple, pear and spices, delicate nuances of strawberries and almond blossom. Deep and rich on the palate, yet fresh and harmonious, with an elegant, very pleasant bitter note on the long final and a fresh acidity paired with minerality. For us, Ca' Brione is one of the greatest white wines in Italy! SUPERIORE.DE

“Tavernetto” Pinot Nero dell' Oltrepò Pavese DOC 2020
The first 1,850 Pinot Noir vines were brought to Italy from Burgundy by Count Vistarino back in 1865. Since then, the vinification of this demanding grape variety has been continuously refined over the generations. Today, the Pinot Noirs from the winegrowing dynasty can even outshine much more expensive Pinot Noirs from Burgundy at international tastings.
Tavernetto is the third cru of the estate, named after the 1.71-hectare vineyard where the grapes develop splendidly at an altitude of 250 to 325 metres and with a south-southeast exposure. It is considered the most balanced of the Tenuta's vineyards, with the most evenly positive results. The calcareous subsoil of the single vineyard is ideal for Pinot Nero, resulting in a top wine of great personality.
Intense ruby-garnet colour. Fruity on the nose with elegant, fresh notes, yet the incipient depth and complexity of this Pinot Noir can already be sensed today. Full, round and fruity on the palate, the silky tannins flank its fine flavour through to the elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“Maim” Valtènesi Riviera del Garda Classico DOC 2018
Mattia Vezzola's top wine demonstrates the heights that the indigenous Groppello grape variety can reach. Sweet dark cherries, herbs, liquorice and tar are just some of the nuances that emerge from this plush, deep red wine. Maim impresses with its extraordinary intensity and richness - from the first sip to the end of the bottle. And it is not only because of its exceptionally fine texture and almost endless finish that it is without question a jewel of a wine and a flagship of the appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

“Bertone” Pinot Nero Provincia di Pavia IGT 2015
As early as 1865, the first 1,850 Pinot Noir vines were brought to Italy from Burgundy by Count Vistarino. Since then, the vinification of this demanding grape variety has been continually refined by generations. Today, the Pinot Noir Noirs of the dynasty of winegrowers can even outshine much more expensive Pinot Noirs from Burgundy at international tastings. The grapes of the winery's top crus are cultivated at an altitude of 400 m above sea level. The high temperature fluctuations between day and night ensure a complexity, precision and elegance that is rarely found even in Burgundy.
Brilliant ruby red. In the nose it is delicately fruity with hints of small red berries, coffee and hints of damp forest soil. On the palate a subtle and precise fruit, the tannins are very fine and a long, never-ending mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“Essenza” Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2019
Essenza is a classic Valtellina Superiore that draws its fruit from the terraced high mountain vineyards in one of the northernmost corners of Italy. Ruby red with garnet-coloured inclusions. Wonderful aromas of dried strawberries, mushrooms and flowers that open up into pure fruit. It is medium-bodied on the palate with appealing depth and intensity. The fine and complex tannins are polished and flattering. Essenza magically balances power and elegance, gaining much of its straightforwardness and focus from the lingering mineral notes of crushed slate or granite that add salty notes to the finish.

“Carlo Negri” Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2019
The grapes for Carluccio "Carlo" Negri, named after the winery's authoritative pioneer, come from vineyards in the DOC and DOCG areas of Valtellina on the slopes of the Rhaetian Alps along the right bank of the Adda River. The sfursat, world-famous for the region, is produced by the natural drying of the grapes, favoured by the cool and dry winds from the mountains. In the "fruttaio", the fruit shed, they lose almost 30% of their weight during this process. The result is therefore a unique Nebbiolo: rich and intense, with the typical mineral and fresh character of Alpine wines.
Medium ruby red. Concentrated, complex bouquet with notes of ripe berry fruits, cyclamen and spices like black pepper and cinnamon. Dry on the palate, with beautiful dark primary fruit with firm tannins that are tart when young. Further on, full-bodied, persistent, with a long finish and subtle hints of cloves and liquorice. Harmonious, too, its fresh acidity, which will make it vibrant and exciting, especially after further years of ageing, one of the best wines of the appellation. SUPERIORE.DE
"A energetic Valtellina with cherry and floral aromas and flavors that are highlighted with hints of vanilla and bitter citrus. Full-bodied with round tannins that are soft and velvety and plenty of ripe fruit that remains fresh, focused and intense." James Suckling

"More savory than sweet, the 2019 Brut Satèn Franciacorta Essence opens with a blend of incense and Asian pear aromas. Seductively round yet focused, this flows across the palate with a soothing bead of silken bubbles, giving way to mineral-drench pit fruits and spices. It finishes with admirable length and potent, yet still remarkably fresh, leaving a pretty inner sweetness and mint suggestions to fade. The balance here is lovely." Vinous
"Made from 100% Chardonnay, proof of balance and savoury tension in a memorable vintage. On the nose, notes of white peach, then lemongrass and hawthorn. Salty on the palate, with a fruity, oily finish and convincing persistence." Luca Gardini

And this is how this pure, straightforward, almost puristic elegance is created. Delicately scented with lemon and honey, full-bodied, with very fresh perlage and persistent. Very fine and distinctive with just 1.90 g/l residual sugar - one of our absolute favourites! SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium-light yellow; discreet yellow-fruity notes, appealing; smooth foam, round, delicate sweetness, complex, long." (JLF) Merum
"Bright straw yellow with delicate golden reflections and lively perlage. In the nose floral hints and squeezed orange, in the aftertaste delicate fumé and roasted hazelnut. Drinks very finely, harmoniously balanced on the palate, shows an elegant fruit core with dancing perlage, light-footed in the final." Falstaff

“Incanto” Sassella Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2019
This smooth and immensely polished Valtellina Superiore comes from Sassella, one of the most famous villages of the Valtellina appellation on the north bank of the Adda River. Radiant ruby red. Camphor, wild roses, wild berries and hints of graphite and vanilla are the main protagonists of this fragrant red wine. Straightforward and elegantly structured, it shows red cherry, pomegranate and liquorice on the palate, accompanied by present but fine tannins. The lively acidity provides the necessary momentum, including further ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Savory, earthy wet leaves, cranberries and iron on the nose. A very svelte, nimble nebbiolo with elegant berries and a linear palate. Silky and supple tannins for a nebbiolo." James Suckling
"Packaged with a green label, the Tenuta Scerscé 2019 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Nebbiolo Incanto shows fine–tuned aromas of forest berry, blue flower, wild rose and candied orange peel. This is a pure and elegant wine with a firm and silky texture. It would pair nicely with an oven–roasted chicken and potatoes." Wine Advocate
