Wines from South Tyrol and Trentino

Full-bodied, very pretty Pinot Gris in a bright straw yellow colour with a pleasantly subtle, floral apple and melon aroma. Soft flavour with harmonious fullness and remarkable freshness. Delicate notes of nuts and honey develop after a period of ageing. SUPERIORE.DE

"Some white nuts and white fruit on the nose, which is simple and slightly neutral but delightful. The palate shows a crisp medium body and a creamy, medium-length finish. This shows good varietal character and purity." James Suckling

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. Pale straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. Aromatic on the nose, hints of nutmeg and yellow fruit. It has a well-integrated acidity and convinces on the finish with a subtle, refined mineral note. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Grigio - an international bestseller and in this case a wonderful interpretation from South Tyrol. Peaches, apricots, lemon curd, lychees and melons on the nose, soft and elegant on the palate. This Pinot Gris impresses with its freshness and zesty acidity. A true classic. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh, simple aromas of nectarines, chalk and touches of sour cream and lees. Medium-bodied with creamy fruit and a lightly saline finish." James Suckling

Animating white wine from Müller Thurgau with an aromatic bouquet, medium body and a pleasantly dry flavour with fine acidity and spiciness. SUPERIORE.DE

Fresh-fruity Pinot Blanc, light greenish yellow, a light apple note in the bouquet, aromas of nuts and green foliage. Very harmonious and balanced on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Blanc is the most widely cultivated white grape variety in the region around Eppan, thanks to the cool nightly downdrafts from the Mendelstock and the lightly loamy limestone gravel soils. Bright yellow, refined fruit aroma of apple and pear, balanced and fresh with crisp acidity and a pleasing finish. 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

Hexenbichler is a popular red wine made from 100% Vernatsch with varieties such as small, medium and grey Vernatsch. Pleasantly full-bodied, persistent and round. The great harmony is due to the low yields and the (formerly common) variety diversity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense sweet violet flavours with an assertive peppery character and super-fresh blackcurrant fruit. A lean body with zesty acidity and velvety, crisp and slightly dry tannins. Balanced finish." James Suckling

Brilliant straw yellow, the bouquet is intense and persistent. Lightly aromatic on the palate, typical of this vine, fruity fresh, elegant and delicate. SUPERIORE.DE

Delicate in colour, the fragrance seduces with notes of nutmeg, white roses and jasmine. Juicy, fresh and wonderfully dry on the palate with a mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Lagrein Rosé, also known as Lagrein Kretzer, is a light ruby-red wine with a light and pleasant fruity flavour. Its fresh, lively character makes it great fun to drink on many occasions. SUPERIORE.DE

Classic Pinot Blanc with the scent of ripe apples, citrus fruits and pears. Elegant, balanced, harmonious taste. Finado is not a bit playful or even simple-minded, but comes across as very precise and focused right into its clean finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Goldmuskateller or Moscato Giallo - not a sweet wine, but dry - has an intense aroma and delights the palate with its pleasantly fresh acidity and beautiful fullness, to which a fine note of sage is added. SUPERIORE.DE

The oldest indigenous red wine variety in South Tyrol, Vernatsch, finds its ideal location in the traditional St. Magdalena near Bolzano with its steep slopes interspersed with porphyry gravel. Strong, fruity bouquet, aromas of cherries, red berries and lightly roasted almonds. Elegant structure, freshness and fine-grained tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

S. Maddalena Classico "Huck am Bach" is a pretty, feminine wine with a lot of character and South Tyrolean personality. Small red berries, hints of sweet spices and flowers on the nose, supple tannins, round and fruity flavour and very appealing length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Reductive nose with aromas of spicy flavours, pomegranates and a hint of milk. There is complexity here. The attack is dense and velvety, with a medium body, crisp acidity and ripe tannins." James Suckling

The straw-yellow Somereto has a fruity, intense aroma of ripe banana and other tropical fruits. On the palate, it has a smooth texture, rich and persistent, with pleasant acidity. A modern cosmopolitan with an exotic touch, beautiful freshness, straightforwardness and strength. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Somereto is still somewhat restrained with a fine bouquet; with air, notes of apricot, quince and orange are expressed. On the palate, it has a dense but elegant melting texture that shows a sensitive bâtonnage, supported by the juicy freshness and still has rough edges." Weinwisser

"Fresh and focused, with well-cut acidity and a subtle chalkiness working nicely with flavors of yellow apple, pear, white blossoms and pickled ginger, plus a touch of blanched almond." Wine Spectator

Lagrein Grieser with warm aromas and a ripe blackberry nose and notes of lilac and cocoa. Fine and tart on the palate, beautifully balanced fruit and a harmonious finish. The differences in temperature between day and night sharpen the profile of this classic wine with precision and structure every year. SUPERIORE.DE

Floral and slightly spicy, stimulating bouquet of green apple, peach and melon. Aromatic freshness, fullness and harmony on the palate. Fine, clean and very harmonious quality. SUPERIORE.DE

"This Pinot Grigio greets you with a solid, concentrated nose, offering aromas of ripe pear and citrus zest. The palate is rounded and leesy, adding richness and depth to the fruit flavors like an guitar amp going to 11. The wine's underlying structure suggests there's more to discover, making it an intriguing and a wine to watch." Wine Enthusiast

"It shows bright flavours of liquorice root, pear juice and salt and pepper minerality. Soft attack with tingling freshness, weight and suppleness, balanced by a medium body and a savoury aftertaste." James Suckling

Pale green with yellowish reflections. On the nose, white flowers, wild herbs, mown grass, hints of nutmeg. On the palate, it is fresh until the smooth finish. The fine acid wire gives it an upbeat, racy note. SUPERIORE.DE

Light ruby-violet in colour, with a fruity and floral aroma and a characteristic almond note. Vinous, fresh and harmonious on the palate with a pleasantly integrated acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

Full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the Freising sites south of Rungg near Tramin. Complex in bouquet and taste, with hints of blackcurrant, dried fruit, chocolate, green pepper, cedar and tobacco. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine, slightly aromatic Sauvignon with a typically idiosyncratic varietal bouquet reminiscent of nettle and elderberry. Wonderfully lively fruit on the palate with notes of green pepper, mint and gooseberry and a savoury, crisp acidity. The finish is long and leaves a chalky minerality that is emphasised by a hint of tropical flowers. SUPERIORE.DE

"Apple peel, golden berries, gooseberry leaves and stones on the nose. Elegant and chalky on the palate, with a medium body and a limpid finish. Crisp and dry." James Suckling

Bright light yellow colour. Floral, fine fruity notes of apple and tropical fruit. This wine is youthfully fresh and at the same time elegant with pleasant, fresh acidity and fine minerality. Harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE
