Rarities

Orion is a very special primitivo, it is always fresh and of a remarkable endurance. Dense ruby red with violet edge, intense nose of aromas of ripe and fleshy red cherries, followed by spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. In the mouth powerful, smooth and very long. Its clearly defined acid wire sets it apart freshly and pleasantly from the otherwise far too often offered sweet, jamy primitivo monotony. SUPERIORE.DE

Pagus Cerbaia denotes a first-class small plot of land with sedimentary soils. This is where the small quantities of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon come from, which are partially fermented in amphorae and oak barrels after harvest. The "Selection Rosato", bottled only in a few hundred bottles, offers an intense floral aroma and captivates the palate in a lively and cheerful way with a persistent spicy note and a wonderfully complex finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is extremely long and polished with a great finish. Medium body, dense and fruity with lovely acidity. Gives depth and form at the finish. Made in amphora and barrel. Syrah. New and exciting wine." James Suckling

Wonderful cuvée based on Nero d'Avola. Ruby red with vivid garnet reflections. In the intense fragrance allusions of tobacco, spices and mineral notes. The balanced taste, characterized by red fruits, impresses on the palate with blackberry and sour cherry tones and ends in a final of good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, bright ruby red. In the nose of ripe cherries, plums, underlined by fine spicy and peppery tones, appears compact and inviting. Taut and juicy on the palate, opens on spicy elements, gripping." Falstaff

"A ripe and juicy wine with sour-cherry and berry character. Hints of almonds. Medium body. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"Deep red. Ripe aromas of red cherry and Oriental spices. Then fresh and juicy, but with a luscious quality to the super-ripe red and black cherry flavors that turn more austere in the middle. Finishes long and suave. This smells and tastes a lot like the 2018 Sherazade, only made from riper grapes." Vinous

Golden yellow Falanghina with greenish shimmering reflections and a pleasant fresh broom scent. On the palate well structured, very full-bodied and complex with balanced acidity and aromas of pomegranate and very delicate floral notes in the aftertaste. Svelato - open and undisguised, as its name suggests. SUPERIORE.DE

Out with the cliché, in with the surprise! Even the most famous Lambrusco plant of the Paltrinieris will fill every connoisseur with joy. Radice is produced using the Pét Nat process (Metodo Ancestrale) and therefore undergoes a second fermentation on its own yeast after bottling.

This naturally cloudy, dry Frizzante convinces already on the nose with notes of rhubarb, a fresh citrus note and some bread. The persistent, fine perlage and its drinkable nature make it a racy companion for hearty, spicy antipasti, light meat dishes or simply a lively celebration in the midst of nature and happy people. SUPERIORE.DE

"This copper-red Frizzante is a natural work of art: tasting a little like rhubarb and raspberries, dry - and cloudy like a wheat beer, because it has been fermented to the end in the bottle and not disgorged. It is sealed with a crown cap (like all champagnes before disgorging). The liveried waiter in the chic restaurant in Sardinia opened the bottle as openly at the table as the Köbes in Cologne opened the beer. Right on!" Dr. Jens Priewe (weinkenner.de)

"Pale salmon pink; pastry notes, fine rubbery, arouses curiosity; smooth foam, very fine, practically dry, fruit depth, length, very pleasant (with yeast).". (JLF) Merum

The entry wine into the great world of the Tenuta di San Leonardo gives us a foretaste of the fruit intensity and exuberance associated with the 2016 vintage. The grapes for this charming red cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère come without exception from the estate's own vineyards. Terre offers present notes of black cherry, spices and blackberry. It is a whimsical, lively and very fruity red wine that will give you a lot of pleasure within the next years! SUPERIORE.DE

"A lightly herbal red with impressions of dried hay, redcurrants and cranberry pie. Light to medium body, fine yet firm tannins and a medium finish." James Suckling

A Nebbiolo for purists. In the fragrance pine resin, dried fruit and essential spices. On the palate we find sweet plums, juicy cherries, robust tannins and a fine mineral acidity. This drop requires a strong food companion and is in this combination a great pleasure! SUPERIORE.DE

"Really polished and balanced with berries, cherries and spices. Hints of walnuts. Medium body. Creamy finish. A smoky note comes through." James Suckling

"The Fontanabianca 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo shows a bright and tonic vibe that makes this a good choice for dinners at home with the family. The wine is open and approachable with lovely aromas of wild cherry, crushed flower and soft ferrous earth. The mouthfeel is lean and those Nebbiolo tannins are silky and satiny." Robert Parker

Our pure enthusiasm for this pure, authentic, wonderfully traditional Chianti Classico, which the very likeable Ingeborg Raspi Juergens and her family have been presenting to us for years: Ruby red, fine spicy, with refined depth of fruit, well proportioned in taste, powerful, elegant structure, intense final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep, lustrous ruby. Earthy cherry fruit on the nose with a suggestion of blackcurrant. Intense, rich, ripe and mouth-filling with grainy tannins adding interest and tension. Impressive length and generosity of fruit." Jancis Robinson

"1924" is a reminiscence of the founder Antonio Carpenè, who was largely responsible for the development of the Prosecco Spumante as we know it today. Equipped with a beautiful reproduction of the label of that time, the production is also special: the necessary second fermentation on the yeast in the pressure tank (autoclave) lasts here a whole 25 days, which leads to a finer expression of the bouquet, the aromas and the perlage. This high quality Prosecco Superiore presents itself in the nose delicately fruity with ripe fruit and white flowers, in the taste it is full of character with a beautiful acidity, the right dose of yellow pome fruit and subtle almond notes. This noble bubble / sparkling wine is a prime example of DOCG and a more than adequate tribute to its inventor! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, brilliant silver with fine perlage. In the nose melon, smoke, slightly bacon, flint. On the palate balanced and fine, rests elegantly in itself, juicy, opens clearly and balanced, in the aftertaste further juicy and slightly salty, long. Falstaff

Rich and fruity is the well-done Dolcetto by Chiara Boschis. Violet red, in the nose blackberry, candied cherries and some plum compote. On the palate a soft fullness with a wonderful fresh acidity, its medium face makes it an indispensable companion for light meat dishes and pasta. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red, persistent, fruity bouquet with notes of wild berries, violets, cloves and cinnamon, as well as sweet tobacco aromas. On the palate concentrated, fleshy, tannic, dark fruit. In the finish, the spice tones merge with a pleasant fruity note. All in all a promising drop at a very attractive price! SUPERIORE.DE

"Very rich, dark ruby red. In the nose after fine wood spice and ripe raspberries, cherries, forest fruits, some liquorice in the aftertaste. On the palate it opens beautifully, juicy and clear, handy tannin until the final, delicate post-drying." Falstaff

"Cherry, leather, iron and earth flavors shout Sangiovese, yet there is a saline element too. Linear, dry and persistent. Shows fine balance." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of cherries and watermelon follow through to a medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The bouquet is savory yet slightly restrained in its youthful state, as notes of crushed raspberry give way to peppery floral and herbal tones, with a hint of spiced orange. On the palate, silky textures flood the senses with pure cherry and wild berry, as saline-minerals and fine tannins slowly settle in, kept lively through balanced acidity. The finish is long and structured with saturating dried red fruits resonating, turning more toward the savory spectrum, as youthful tannins clench the senses. The 2016 Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva is a blend of 80% Sangiovese with equal parts Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s classic in every way and geared up for a long stay in the cellar." Vinous

Schulthauser Pinot Bianco is the classic among South Tyrolean Pinot Blanc wines. Its success began in 1986, when it was first vinified and bottled. A perfect, finely fruity and fresh wine, which seduces with its creamy softness and racy acidity. SUPERIORE.DE
