Really traditional grappa, as it has always been. Morbida is the mild version from the wooden barrel and Tradizionale the crisp fresh from the steel tank. The anniversary edition in a gift box that blends into any bottle library with its encyclopedia look. SUPERIORE.DE

"Comets light up, take their course and burn up. Some exist for years, others only for a few moments. They leave an impression and can point out a certain direction that guides us in our daily work. The joy of experimentation, innovation and the play with components are in the foreground with the comets. Each of our comets is unique, like a fingerprint. The labels of each individual bottle are individually designed: A comet's tail, painted on with a finger." Clemens Lageder

BLA BLA 2 is a so-called comet wine made from 100% Blatterle, an almost completely forgotten autochthonous grape variety from South Tyrol. The grapes come from vineyards in Bolzano at about 280 m above sea level. The fruits of the experimental white wine vinified in small quantities of 980 bottles are crushed completely for 3 weeks. The maturation takes place on the full yeast for approx. 18 months in used barriques. As with the first BLA BLA, the grapes of two vintages were blended together.

This uniquely exciting white wine is strongly reductive, but despite its purism it is nevertheless recognizably Burgundian with a dominant salty note. For us it is a meditation wine, which needs a lot of air as well as leisure and peace - only then the wine connoisseur will have a unique experience. Unfiltered and without final sulphur additive. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dull golden yellow. Clear, nutty and yeasty pome fruit scent with light floral, delicate tobaccoy and very slightly yellow-spicy aromas as well as a little lemon verbena and sage. Mature yellow fruit with very fine acidity, clearly nutty to slightly woody aromas, yeast and hinted yellow spice, moderate acidity, despite the moderate alcohol melting, good substance and persistence, a hint of butter caramel in the background, delicate touch, mushroom and dried floral nuances, certain depth, quite complex, very good, firm finish with chalky-salty minerality. wein-plus.de

SEM XVII is a so-called comet wine from 100% Semillion, probably unique in this form South Tyrol vinified. The grapes of this wine, produced in very small quantities (372 bottles), come from the wedge at Margreid, about 230 metres above sea level. They are spontaneously fermented and then matured on the full yeast for approx. 16 months in used barriques. Without sulphite additive, Demeter-certified. SUPERIORE.DE

"Slightly cloudy lemon yellow. Cool and fresh, vegetable citrus nose with bright floral, delicate nutty, violent and hinted yellow-spicy aromas and a hint of smoke. Clear, polished, cool fruit again with citrus-emphasized juice and animating acid bite, yeasty notes, very delicate tannin, good persistence, fresh vegetable tones again in the background, some minerality, has suspense, certain depth, very good, tight, stimulating finish with lime tones and draft." wein-plus.de

Luciano has been holding back a small amount of his Nebbiolo Valmaggiore for several years now and has it matured further on the bottle in his cellar. The result is a result under the name "Sibi et Paucis", which impressively underpins the cult status of his "little Barolo". Ruby red and with a phenomenal fragrance - balsamic and earthy, but also fine-fruity. The disciplined taste with the wonderfully balanced, velvety tannins merges into a long aftertaste and is accompanied by fine fruit and mint aromas. Wonderful elegance with even more ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"The tile and dried flowers highlight the dark fruit nicely. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. Some walnut and tea undertones." James Suckling

Campo Lusso, a Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyard of the same name, is another Grand Cru from Petrolo. The small location covers only half a hectare under the tower of Galatrona. The natural terrace offers exremely favourable soil and climatic conditions. Only about 1,300 bottles of this spectacular drop can be produced per vintage. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mineral, mint and blackcurrant aromas and flavors. Full and structured with lots of ripe and racy tannins yet refined and beautiful. Really polished and fine, ending with an attractively long finish. Drink or hold. The magic continues." James Suckling

"A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Campo Lusso is a dark and savory red wine that offers a sophisticated and quiet demeanor. The wine takes a while to open, and once it does, it maintains a certain air of distance, restraint and formality. This characteristic seems to reflect the wine's inner heart and soul. It offers evolved aromas of dried blackberry, cured meat and exotic spice. The finish is dry, linear and direct. This is a very unique expression of the grape that explores the introspective side of the otherwise charming and boisterous Luca Sanjust. I would recommend a few more years of cellar aging." Robert Parker

The Sangiovese grapes of this wine come from the vineyard of the Empire of His Royal Highness the Count of Turin, Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy, who planted it in 1935. The soil is a mixture of clay and gravel, rich in marl and rock, which gives the grapes a spectacular minerality. The variations in temperature during the day play a decisive role in developing the finest aromas, which are elegant and complex. The wine, bottled in numbered bottles, is not filtered in order to preserve all the typical varietal notes and characteristics of Sangiovese. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, intense garnet red. Very open and accessible nose, old-style in the best sense, of rhubarb, pomegranate, sour cherry and cherry stones. Relaxed and supple at the base, it opens with a grippy, fine-grained tannin, salty and very long, ripe fruit in the aftertaste". (Place 11 / 100 "Best 100 under 100€) Falstaff

"The 2015 Valdarno di Sopra Vigna dell'Impero offers aromas of candied cherry, blackberry, spice and leather. The finish is on the soft side, and I am assigning a slightly shorter drinking window for this warm vintage as a result. The fruit is concentrated and rich, thanks to the heat of the growing season." Robert Parker

"A tight and focused red with cherry, earth and orange peel. Roses, too. Full body yet very reserved with ultra-fine tannins and a fresh finish. Linear and beautiful. Old vine sangiovese. Shows outstanding potential. " James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | St. Valentin Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC 2006

Intense and complex bouquet, rich in aromas reminiscent of oriental spices, delicate dog rose and exotic fruits. What a few years of bottle ripening make of this extremely durable drop can be experienced impressively with this rarity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Golden yellow. Grapefruit and tangerines aromas are complicated by riper suggestions of mango, apricot and canned peaches. Very rich and complex on the palate, with intense flavors of tangerine, passion fruit, banana, dried peach, cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is creamy, floral and quite long. A near-perfect acid/extract balance makes this an extremely successful wine." Vinous

1 bottle à 0,75l | St. Valentin Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2002

This is only the second vintage since Pinot Bianco was included in the Sanct Valentin top line. Extremely low yields from individual, carefully selected parts of the vine guarantee that this wine is still captivatingly beautiful after more than 15 years and its complexity impresses even in the nose. The wood ripeness gives it strength and fullness, but also clarity and fine minerality. The additional years of aging in the bottle have rounded it off and ensured that this white wine, with its complexity and persistence, offers a fresh and unforgettable wine experience despite its age.

1 bottle à 0,75l | St. Valentin Sauvignon Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2007

The Sauvignon Bianco is the oldest wine and therefore the founder of the top line Sanct Valentin. Every year the vines benefit from the exceptional conditions of the carefully selected vineyards at the foot of the Mendola. The 2007 vintage is convincing with a generous bouquet of seductive white and yellow fruits and a wonderful freshness and minerality. This example clearly shows that it is not only the Terlan winery that is able to produce white wines with great ageing and ripening potential! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is typically one of the stronger wines in this range as it is again in 2007. The wine possesses notable ripeness to balance the varietal aromatics, along with pretty notes of smoke and minerals that develop in the glass. This medium-bodied, caressing Sauvignon offers outstanding balance and tons of harmony." VINOUS

"Vivid aromas of grapefruit and apricot follow through to a full body, with loads of fruit and a fresh, crisp finish. Very Sancerre-like. One of Italy's best Sauvignons." Wine Spectator

Bright golden colour, explosive bouquet of quince, honey, wax, granite, blood orange, vanilla, white chocolate and straw. On the palate, initial notes of roasted cashew and almond, followed by fruits such as white peach, pear and citrus fruits. Exciting and very multifaceted. SUPERIORE.DE

"This shows sugar-coated apples, vanilla, spices, lemon curd, dried pineapples, caramelized papaya, cream and pie crust. Full body, medium acidity and layers of fleshy tropical and stone fruit. Finishes long and creamy." James Suckling

"Expansive, ripe and richly textured, the Monteverro 2015 Chardonnay is a full-bodied white that doles out generous and opulent fruit. The wine is creamy, fibrous and succulent with a long range of apricot, tropical fruit, toasted almond and delicate vanilla-like aromas. Half of the assembled blend is aged in French barrique for 14 months and the other half goes into cement eggs. The results are bright, tonic and clear, but the wine maintains that deep inner sense of sunshine and concentration that is characteristic of this warm vintage." Robert Parker

Black cherry with hints of violet at margin. In the nose beautiful notes of spices such as ginger, cinnamon, dried coriander and vanilla pod, rounded off with fruit aromas of pomegranate, cherry and floral nuances such as geranium, lavender and rose. Fresh rose sugar and graphite on the palate, with hints of raspberry, cherry, fresh plum and cranberry. Long in the finish with a hunch of Cassis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich purple. Intense bouquet, showing a lot of classic Rhône components in the nose – between cornas and gigondas, iron blood tones and wild cherries. Thick palate, black peppercorns, crumbly, concentrated extract. He still has a lot of future, but will remain rather masculine because of his brute strength." Weinwisser

"Dark violet color. Aromas of roasted beets, citrus rind and dusty chocolate. Hot stone. Violets. A generous red with lots of fruit. Nicely crafted. Full-bodied." James Suckling

"Dark purple red color with violet hue and black centre. Very opulent character, ripe berry fruit, blackberries and mulberries. Ripe plums, black cherries in the background. Aromatic spices add to the wine's complexity. On the palate opulent with great depth and weight, excellent length, powerful but still with a hint of freshness in the finish. A great wine." Markus del Monego

"Bright and fluid, with black currant, blackberry, vanilla and toast aromas and flavors. Almost racy, showing terrific balance and well-integrated tannins underneath. Features a fine, toasty finish. Syrah and Grenache." Wine Spectator

Very elegant Franciacorta Dosage Zero Riserva with warm aromas of butter croissants, apricot, caramel and roasted nuts. Persistent, mineral and with a creamy finish, it is one of the region's greatest sparkling wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant straw yellow with green shimmer, very persistent and fine perlage. The nose shows notes of dark rye bread, with a spicy crust, some capers, ripe apple. On the palate salty and multi-layered, clear, fine perlage." Falstaff

"Luminous straw-yellow. Aromas of puff pastry, custard cream, botanical herbs, apple pie and orange oil on the inviting nose. Then dense and complex, offering creamy flavors similar to the aromas, complicated by a hint of fresh ginger. Closes dense and suave, with lingering notes of custard cream and savory pear. Beautiful sparkler. Disgorged in fall 2018, this is 100% Pinot Nero picked in three vineyards of the Belvedere property, located at 466 meters above sea level; the wine spent roughly eight years on the lees." Ian D'Agata

Brilliant golden colour, in the full bouquet explosive aromas of quince, honey, wax, granite, blood orange, vanilla, white chocolate and straw. On the palate, initial notes of roasted cashew and almond, followed by fruits such as white peach, pear and citrus fruits. Exciting and very multifaceted. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lovely floral and herbal intensity to this white, including lemon grass, lemon meringue, dried thyme, honeysuckle, apricots and jasmine. Very oily and phenolic, but the full-bodied palate really takes off with subtle citrus character, thanks to the steely acidity on offer." James Suckling

The first Caggiole came onto the market in 1988 and disappeared in 1995, when the flagship Asinone simply better met the taste of consumers. Today - after more than 20 years of abstinence - the Nobile Le Caggiole comes back on the market as the new first wine of the house.

It is salty, mineral and refined. It represents the terroir and the Sangiovese grape variety (Prugnolo Gentile) like no other wine of the house. It is almost light-footed, svelte, delicate and at the same time very fine. It is the result of many years of work in selecting the right Sangiovese clones in the Le Caggiole vineyard of the same name, consisting of 4 plots.

Dott Federico Carletti has dedicated this masterpiece to his wife Anna - he sets a new benchmark for Poliziano and the entire denomination. We are very happy to present this strictly limited top wine! SUPERIORE.DE
