The grapes for this Chardonnay come from vineyards in the municipalities of Auer, Neumarkt and Tramin. Delicately fruity aroma and lively flavour with aromas of pineapple, pear, citrus fruit, some caramel and butter. SUPERIORE.DE

Sparkling, radiant golden yellow. On the nose, classic varietal tones of quince, pear, white peach and tangy citrus carefully correspond with the impression on the palate. The pretty mineral note gives the wine linearity and a brilliant sense of clarity. This fresh South Tyrolean Pinot Blanc is another example of Italy's great white wines, and this is especially evident in this truly honest price point. SUPERIORE.DE

This fresh, aromatic Moscato giallo was vinified dry. The grapes come from selected, warm and sun-exposed vineyards on the Ritten above Bolzano at 500 metres above sea level.
