“Sirmian 50 anni” Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2021
Anniversary edition: High-class Pinot Blanc from the South Tyrolean Wine Route, or more precisely from the exposed altitude of Sirmian, where the Pinot Bianco finds its ideal location and an optimal microclimate. This is why it is of remarkable quality every year. Clear and straw-yellow sparkling in the glass, intense bouquet of light blossoms, green apple, red currants and a hint of sage and nutmeg. Harmonious, powerful and persistent on the palate, with a full flavour typical of the grape variety and a beautiful melt, mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Pinot Bianco Sirmian 2021 has a bouquet of sweet floral scents, freshly cut green apples and ginger. The palate is round and soothing, with lively acidity and lime nuances that enliven the ripe fruit of the orchard. The 2021 is wonderfully fresh and balanced, finishing with commendable length and subtle spice." Vinous
"Bright, intense straw yellow. Opens on the nose to ripe apple, plus melon, underpinned by spicy notes of meadow herbs and hay. Mouth-filling, with nice pressure on the palate, rich fruit into the long finish." Falstaff
"It's chewy with dried apple and mango and some lemon zest. Also dried peaches. Full body with layered fruit and fresh acidity. Also some yoghurt character." James Suckling
"This bottle bears a special 50th anniversary label, making it one of the oldest representatives of this grape variety in the region. The Nals Margreid 2021 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Sirmian draws its fruit from over 15 hectares in high altitude vineyards where this grape variety shows its best results. A beautiful expression with a mouthful so precise and sharp that the wine tastes almost spicy. Grapefruit, Granny Smith apple and crisp pear are offset by a light spice and saffron. There's also a hint of white peppercorn." Wine Advocate
"Creamy and supple with rich lemon zest, nutty baked apple, ripe apricot and saffron, underlined by the emerging strong minerality and focused saline finish." Decanter
"One of the clearest Pinot Blancs in South Tyrol, spiced with the crisp craftsmanship that is at home in Nalles. Vineyards at the foot of the winery, 7 months in barrel and steel tank, cedar peel and hawthorn on the nose. On the palate very tight, lively, spicy and with an excellent finish." Luca Gardini

“Manna” Bianco Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2021
The vineyards of the five grape varieties are located at altitudes between 350 and 800 metres above sea level and face southwest. The vines grow on dolomite, porphyry, sand and marl soils.
As a young wine, Manna has golden yellow hues, after a few years of ageing they turn into strong golden tones. Manna is very special: complex, multi-layered with the bouquet of elderberry, pistachio, apricot, nutmeg and delicate rose petals. Concentrated, voluminous and at the same time elegant and complex on the palate. A racy wine that can be discovered from different perspectives in the course of its development and unfolds its character more and more. Even the young wine changes in the glass and surprises again and again. SUPERIORE.DE
"A blend of sweet spices and flowers complements notes of candied lime and crushed apple as the 2021 Bianco Manna opens in the glass. On the palate, it unfolds with a stunning blend of zesty acidity and ripe citrus under a hint of tropical florals. The 2021 leaves a salty aftertaste and leaves you wanting more as the Granny Smith apples slowly fade away." Vinous
"It has tropical, fragrant aromas of lemongrass, fresh herbs, gooseberries, guava and acacia. It is medium-bodied, creamy and slightly oily, with delicious ripe fruit and a long, bright finish." James Suckling
"Bright, rich straw yellow with a sparkling core. In the nose first fine toast, then rich yellow fruit, some nutmeg, candied lemon, white pepper, grapefruit. On the palate with a hearty entry, racy acidity and compact fruit core, exotic, shows plenty of juice in the finish and can certainly store for a long time." Falstaff
"Franz' blend, refined, elegant and spirited. Rhine Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Kerner and Sauvignon from different altitudes and processed separately. On the nose, notes of white melon, hints of sage, elderflower and white pepper. Salty and fruity on the nose, length." Luca Gardini

“Cassiopea Pagus Cerbaia” Rosato Bolgheri DOC 2017

This is where the small quantities of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon come from, which are partially fermented in amphorae and oak barrels after the harvest. Bottled in only a few hundred bottles, the "Selection Rosato" offers an intense floral aroma and beguiles the palate in a lively, cheerful way with a lingering spicy note and a wonderfully complex finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“St. Valentin” Sauvignon Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2022
Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is probably the best-known white wine from the St. Michael-Eppan winery. It has been vinified from carefully selected single vineyards at the foot of the Mendelstock since 1989. Yellow-green in colour, dense bouquet of yellow fruit, gooseberry, elderflower and ripe redcurrant, smooth on the palate with elegant, floral fullness and crisp acidity. A great and very savoury top wine and probably the most award-winning white from the internationally highly respected winegrowers' cooperative. SUPERIORE.DE

“Ben Ryé" Passito di Pantelleria DOP 2021 dolce
Ben Ryé - the great naturally sweet and world-famous white wine from Donnafugata. The grapes are harvested in mid-August and left to dry naturally for 20 to 30 days. In September, the later ripening grapes are harvested and processed fresh. The hand-picked raisined berries are added to the must in several stages during fermentation. Light orange yellow in colour. Overwhelming aromas of apricot, peach and orange peel. Creamy notes of passion fruit and peach on the palate with an impressive elegance and length. For us, one of the best sweet wines in Italy every year! SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant orange with golden reflections, elegant. Enormous aroma of peaches and peach tea, honey, honeycomb, with a fine hint of nutmeg, dried apricots, bergamots and oranges. Wonderfully balanced on the palate, creamy-oily texture, with clear, radiant peach fruit, well-balanced interplay between sugar and acidity, lingers endlessly in many layers, with a final of dried figs." Falstaff
"Complex flavours of sultanas, caramel, honey, iced tea, peaches and vanilla. Creamy on the palate, with a zesty acidity." Decanter
"The 2021 Ben Ryé is a real pleasure. It seduces with a bouquet that mixes sweet smoke with mandarins, mint leaves and cloves. Like pure nectar, it envelops everything it touches on the palate with ripe fruit trees and tropical melon. Sweet spices and sour citrus fruits contrast towards the end. The finish is savoury and long, leaving a dusty, floral note and a hint of candied ginger and lime. Ben Ryé is always an absolute delight and, in my opinion, one of the best dessert wines in Italy. This single varietal Zibibbo finishes with 197 grams of residual sugar per Liters." Vinous
"A rich, luxurious sweetie, with flavors of orange glacée, pink grapefruit sorbet, spun honey, apple peel and butterscotch melting on the palate like cotton candy. A bright tang of citrusy acidity and a touch of salinity give this good cut and form, while fragrant hints of lavender, cardamom, white chocolate and Earl Grey waft in on the long, lasting finish." Wine Spectator
"This wine has a light copper colour and a copper-coloured aroma. On the nose, yellow peaches and dried apricots play with various orange notes. On the palate, stone fruit and citrus continue to shine before a warm, honeyed, almost syrupy finish reminiscent of a beeswax candle." Wine Enthusiast

“Andrius” Sauvignon Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2021
Aged on the lees for six months, Sauvignon Andrius is a lively, well-structured white with great varietal typicity. Ripe peaches, dried apricots, juicy honeydew melon, candied almonds, flowers and a hint of mint and white pepper combine with the elegant style to create a remarkable overall picture. Great class! SUPERIORE.DE
"Vibrant citrus and stony mineral characters with a juicy, ripe gooseberry texture, fresh acidity and a leafy finish." Decanter
"Well-cut and fresh, almost statuesque but with a sense of balance and grace, while flavours of kiwi, lime granita, melon rind and chive blossom accompany the slightly chalky texture, along with delicious acidity and a hint of saltiness." Wine Spectator
"Bright straw yellow with sparkling reflections. Slightly reductive and restrained on the nose, after a little time shows notes of juicy lemons, meadow herbs and cold smoke, as well as fine wet stone. On the palate racy and precise, the fruit stays in the background, builds up materially and stays on the palate for a long time, will age well." Falstaff

"The Ca' del Bosco NV Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Extra Brut 45 Edizione is celebrating a great anniversary. Aroma of rich lemon and freshly baked pie crust. The effervescence is visibly very light and delicate, as is the palate. It is a very gentle sparkling wine with a medium freshness." Wine Advocate
"This fresh and focused version is sleek and finely knit, with the satiny mousse expanding on the palate and carrying flavors of poached apricot, crushed hazelnut, candied ginger and lemon curd. The finish is long and creamy." Wine Spectator
"The Extra Brut Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 45 Edizione is dreamy, with a sweet hint of smoke, sweet spice and Jordanian almonds complementing ripe apricots. The creamy foam and the mineral note of the fruit trees soothe, while a hint of raw hazelnuts provides a nice bitter contrast towards the end.

Limitation of 6 articles per customer“Alte Rebe” Vinschgauer Riesling Alto Adige DOC 2020
Franz and Bernadette Pratzner planted their first Riesling grapes more than 30 years ago. The small plot yields just 1,500 bottles per year. The primary rock soil, the dry warmth during the day and the cool nights provide excellent conditions for Vinschgau Riesling to thrive on a steep southern slope between 550 and 900 metres.
Brilliant golden yellow. Aromas of peach and apple combine in the bouquet with a well-dosed portion of minerality. Complex and multi-layered on the palate with yellow fruits, spices and lime. The harmonious overall picture of this exceptional wine is framed by a vibrant acidity and wonderful freshness, which will ensure a long life and further refinement in the bottle.

“Piodilei” Chardonnay Langhe DOC 2021
Piodilei has been the winery's white flagship since 1985. The grapes come from the single vineyard Il Bricco, which also produces the award-winning Barbaresco Crus every year. From the outset, Pio's aim with this white wine was to create a wine with the same complexity and ageing Storage potential as the great red wines of this region. Sparkling straw yellow colour. Complex bouquet of herbal spice, delicate buttery notes, flint, pear and sweet yellow fruit. Impressive freshness in the glass with a finely integrated oak spice and notes of pineapple and chestnut. A fresh, complex and serious white wine that is unrivalled in the region. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Pio Cesare 2021 Langhe Chardonnay Piodilei is a terrific white wine, and honestly speaking, it's one of the most consistent expressions of the French grape made in Piedmont. Granted, the wine is out of context, considering the heavily red wine-focused identity of its surroundings, but it absolutely delivers on freshness of fruit, depth and carefully measured toasted oak nuances." Wine Advocate
"Love the aromas of cooked apples with nougat, honeysuckle and hints of wood. Full-bodied and very flavorful with a phenolic tension and focus that runs through the wine. Hints of pie crust and vanilla bean with crushed stone." James Suckling

“Rancia” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020
Sparkling, medium-dense ruby-garnet colour. The Rancia Riserva from the single vineyard of the same name is powerful and energetic, expressive and dense. The aroma is characterised by ripe, full-bodied fruit and mineral notes. The flavour is earthy, tannic and terroir-influenced, beautifully articulated, fine and with an enjoyable length. A wine that requires sensitivity and/or a few years of rest. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. On the nose, it smells of beautiful precious wood, lightly of coconut flakes, ripe cherries, cranberries and cold smoke. Compact on the palate with tightly woven tannins, beautifully savoury, opens up on the final with warm-hearted fruit, carried by a full-bodied, long finish." Falstaff
"Brilliant medium ruby red colour. Seductive, sophisticated nose of raspberries with oak notes and mineral, stony notes. Almost a little exotic. Juicy raspberry fruit with lots of gravelly tannins. Elegant and long. Undeniably attractive now." Jancis Robinson
"On the nose, small red fruits, redcurrants, then notes of laurel and peony. The mouthfeel is flavoursome, very taut, with a strawberry and juniper berry note that keeps reappearing and an excellent persistence." Luca Gardini
"Intense, with complex flavours of cherries, blackberries, violets, minerals and leafy undergrowth, this red wine is silky and almost racy. Harmonious and persistent, with a long, resonant aftertaste that reflects red fruit, mineral and spicy elements." Wine Spectator
"A sophisticated and very refined Rancia with sweet berries, cedar wood and a hint of chocolate. Medium body. Fresh and concentrated. A little restrained on the finish. It needs two or three years to develop." James Suckling
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia 2020 shows a beautiful minerality with dusty notes of crushed limestone or flint. This is the wine's special signature, which comes into its own particularly well in a warm vintage like this one. The Rancia also offers a superficial quality with red and violet fruit tones. The 2020 vintage shows lovely concentration and richness with wild cherry and plum, but ultimately the wine leaves an elegant mineral finish. The Rancia will need additional bottle ageing."

Densely woven and complex on the palate, showing considerable structure without appearing ponderous, finishing with a nice juiciness, already seems balanced and accessible." Falstaff
"This wine has a subtle and exotic wasabi spiciness and freshness of olive, cassis and blackcurrant leaf. Rich, flavourful and quite full-bodied on the palate with firm, polished tannins and bright acidity that helps to take the edge off the heaviness here. The finish is very lively and long. Bravo!" James Suckling
"Features pure flavors of black currant and blackberry, with accents of iron, cedar and oak spices. Tightly wound and dense, with tannins flexing their presence on the long finish. Energetic and fresh, with a lasting impression of sweet, ripe fruit." Wine Spectator

“Taber” Lagrein Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2021
The top red Riserva from the Bolzano winery has been the undisputed Lagrein Taber for years, with a fine bouquet of wild berry fruit, herbal flavours and spicy notes. Taber is a dense, full-bodied wine with a pleasant acidity and silky tannins, finishing with notes of candied fruit. A top wine from over 80-year-old vines on the Taberhof farm near Gries and a contender for the "Tre Bicchieri" of the Gambero Rosso almost every year. The best Lagrein Riserva in South Tyrol? Find out for yourself! SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep dark purple colour. On the nose, rich heart cherry, blackberry juice, dried violets, with fragrant black bread notes and some precious wood. Very juicy on the palate, tightly woven, fruity, stretches over the tongue with great and fresh notes, savoury, complex and drinky at the same time, exciting and vibrant." Falstaff
"A dark and ripe red that impresses with aromas of liquorice, chocolate, cassis and mulberries. Full-bodied and fleshy, with chewy but soft tannins and generous, spicy oak that complements the ripe fruit. An intense Lagrein." James Suckling
"The classic, almost impenetrable deep blackberry red colour so typical of the variety. Blackberry and sloe fruits dominate the nose and palate, with notes of dark chocolate and toasted spice. Full and round with ripe tannins, the wine is approaching an early peak but should hold up well over the next five to seven years." Decanter

“Sol” Chardonnay Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2022
The grapes for this magnificent Chardonnay come from vines that are over 60 years old and this is impressively reflected in the depth and complexity of the wine. The full bouquet exudes dusty white flowers and hints of vanilla pods, contrasted by crushed green apple, curry leaves and rocks. Sol is a contrasting, very complex Chardonnay expression with ripe fruit and a silky texture balanced by mineral acids and a hint of acidic citrus. On the palate, it leaves a vibrant tension and refreshment, while finishing with persistence and a hint of almond paste. SUPERIORE.DE
"I think it's safe to say that Serena Palazzolo and her husband Christian Patat are at the top of their game, which means that the wines from Ronco del Gnemiz are among the best produced in Friuli today. The choice is vast, as the transparency of the terroir is paramount here. It may be easier to sell and market one or two Sauvignons, Chardonnays or Friulano wines, but the differences between the individual hills, the individual sites and the age of the individual vineyards create such unique expressions that it would be a shame not to produce all six.
When you stand on the hill on which this vineyard is located and look out over the Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali, it becomes clear why these vineyard designations are so important for the future of the region. These hills rise and fall like bubbles, rising from the earth and dropping to the horizon. I can imagine how fascinated a winemaker would be by each of these unique sites. If you make a short list of the best producers in Friuli, you should put Ronco del Gnemiz at the top of the list." Vinous

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Vintage Tunina” Bianco Venezia Giulia IGT 2021
Vintage Tunina is predominantly made from Sauvignon and Chardonnay. There are also small amounts of Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana and Picolit. Bright golden yellow in colour, the intense, very elegant bouquet shows notes of honey and meadow flowers. Dry, soft, very fruity flavour with excellent persistence, fine spiciness and full body. SUPERIORE.DE
"Straw yellow. Concentrated but restrained nose. Long, viscous and a perfect amalgam of pear, peach and with pink-grapefruit notes on the palate. Long and fresh." Jancis Robinson
"Bright, sparkling straw yellow with light green nuances. Fragrant, very precise nose of white peach, apricot, some grapefruit and almond in the background. Juicy and balanced on the palate, as if from a single mould, with a fine, sweet, fruity final that lingers for a long time." Falstaff
"A very fresh blend of grape varieties, international and territorial, resulting in a complex, multi-faceted and very successful "white". Rich on the nose, orange blossom, saffron, nectarine and sage, with a nice balsamic note. Tasty mouthfeel, persistent, with a fruity finish." Luca Gardini
"This wine has a very fresh and polished character with sliced pears, white nectarines, crushed stones and citrus leaves. Lots of floral undertones too. Medium to full bodied. The supple mouthfeel and consistent acidity add freshness to the fruit and nicely emphasise the mineral backbone." James Suckling

“W.... Dreams ..." Bianco Venezia Giulia IGT 2021
"W.... Dreams ... ......" has stood for "Where Dreams can happen" since the 2003 vintage and originates from "Where the Dreams have no end", which was first pressed with the 1987 harvest. The '96 to '02 vintages were labelled "Were Dreams now it's just Wine".
Very expressive with aromas of lime blossom, jasmine, incense and warm peach skin, this wine crackles with vibrant acidity, delicately interwoven with layers of ripe yellow melon and apple fruit, salted almonds and candied ginger. A noble white wine that lingers on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE
"Intense straw yellow. Great intensity and depth of white and yellow fruit, supported with just a touch of oak. You can sense the greatness of the vintage. The oak also accentuates the fruit on the palate, while being perfectly integrated. Sensational balance." Jancis Robinson
"Powerful, sparkling straw yellow colour. Slightly restrained on the nose, opens with delicate notes of camomile, then full flavours of apricot, banana and lychee. Blossoms beautifully on the palate, round and extremely smooth, shows good pressure, with a subtle bitter note on the final." Falstaff
"It's attractive and fresh with notes of glazed lemons and apples as well as young hazelnuts, savoury herbs and custard. Also some spices. Full-bodied and complex with consistent acidity that gives shape to every detail of the fruit. Some attractive spicy nuances before a mineral finish. A complex but very approachable wine that is already drinking beautifully but can also last a long time." James Suckling

“Fratta” Rosso Veneto IGT 2017
This beautiful cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from a great vintage presents itself impeccably! Deep, complex fruit bouquet, rounded off by fine sweet spices, tobacco and coffee. Punchy and textured on the palate, blackberry, raspberry and a solidly woven tannin structure in the several-minute final. A wine with great development potential! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2017 Fratta lifts up with a dark and alluring display of black currants, sweet herbs, rich notes of mocha and savory brown spice. This is cool-toned and spicy, a bit lean, yet with a polished feel, showing tart blackberries offset by hints of sour citrus and toasty oak, as violet-tinged florals form toward the close. Fine tannins make themselves known throughout the finale, as this tapers off lightly structured, with hints of licorice lingering long." Vinous
"Deep, dense aromas of crushed black fruit with notes of charcoal and dried herbs, such as rosemary and thyme. The fruit envelops the lightly firm tannins on the full-bodied palate, creating a dense, velvety and lengthy mouthful. A well-crafted red that’s highly concentrated and bursting with flavor, but it also shows astute balance." James Suckling
"Here's an iconic wine from the Veneto made from a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot. The Maculan 2017 Fratta shows enormous intensity, muscle and brawn. The wine has absorbed every last drop of sunshine, heat and dry weather conditions that characterized the 2017 growing season, and it does so with elegance and poise. The wine is impeccably balanced with dark fruit and spice. It's the kind of big-boned red wine you'll want to pair with a hearty dish of barbecue or marinated beef." Wine Advocate

“Cor Römigberg” Cabernet Sauvignon Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2018 (BIO)
Cherry-red Cabernet Sauvignon with a small proportion of Petit Verdot, the complex bouquet is reminiscent of blackcurrants; there are also mint flavours and floral notes, which are interwoven with the pleasantly balanced wood note. Powerful and dense on the palate; the fine-grained tannins are harmoniously integrated, with an impressive elegance and length on the final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich, bright ruby red colour. Presents itself with a distinctly fragrant nose, lots of fresh blackcurrant notes, with crisp blackberry fruit and fine sage and ivy leaf notes in the background. Shows itself on the palate with juicy fruit and grippy tannins, fine herbal notes, medium weight at the back." Falstaff
"Generous dark fruity character with notes of cassis, spices, dark chocolate and bark. Medium to full-bodied, polished and refined with firm, velvety tannins and a long finish." James Suckling
"On the nose, cigar box spice and aromas of smoked tobacco run like a fragrant thread through ripe red and blackcurrants, iron, olive tapenade and notes of dried flowers. The wine is firm and tightly knit, yet has a generous texture and flavour palette that wraps around a dense core of chalky tannins. A few years in the cellar or decanting will help this fine wine to become even more expressive." Wine Spectator
"This 2018 has a creamy aroma of red and black hedgerow berries, accompanied by some notes of green pepper. Fine, ripe tannins support the juicy fruit of black cherries and blackberries with a green tinge. Vertical, fresh and flavoursome, a delicious wine that stands out for its balance." Decanter
"The 2018 Cor - Latin for heart - opens with aromas of black cherries, red plums and blackberries with subtle hints of cola, aniseed, cloves and crushed rock. The palate is concentrated, yet shows grace and a light-footedness that gives the wine great lift on the finish. Powerful with a very lingering and delicious finish, this wine will go far."
