“Capofaro” Bianco Salina IGT 2019 dolce · in gift box
The harvested Malvasia grapes stay for a few weeks under good ventilation in shady drying chambers. Without humidity and hot sun, the grapes dry slowly and thus retain their acidity and very moderate alcohol levels. Capofaro is an impressive dessert wine that comes from vines that once belonged to the late winemaker Carlo Hauner, who made Malvasia from the island of Salina famous.
Bright golden yellow. A warm bouquet of orange blossom, candied orange peel and flowers underpinned by bright, salty notes. Very tightly packed and tightly wound, it displays a lush mouthfeel and an enticing sweetness that is nicely offset by a penetrating acidity. The finish is creamy and long, with notes of botrytis and reminiscent of tropical fruit nectar. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium dense bright golden yellow with lemon yellow accents. Opens on the nose to delicate spruce shoots, blossom honey and nutmeg, also discreetly of dried mango. Lively on the palate, showing nice tension with crisp acidity, subtle spice notes paired with exotic fruit, very layered, comes back juicy on the final." Falstaff
"The finely chiselled bouquet of the steel-aged Passito combines notes of dried apricots with peach and citrus fruit aromas, delicately spicy; polished in the mouth, perfectly balanced between the acidity and the sweetness, elegant and long. A pleasure with pasticceria or on its own." Vinum
"Crisp, dry and thoroughly delicious, this fragrant white from the island of Salina opens with heady scents of yellow stone fruit, citrus, white rose and Mediterranean brush. Tangy and vibrant, the savory palate doles out yellow peach, apricot, Meyer lemon and briny notes of saline." Wine Enthusiast
"This is always such a fun and cheerful wine to enjoy at the end of an outdoor meal with an evening seascape somewhere in the distance. The Tenuta Capofaro 2019 Tenuta Capofaro (in a 500-milliliter bottle) is made with air-dried fruit (the appassimento process takes place on the island of Salina in a special fruttaio room for air-drying with controlled temperatures, but the Tasca team makes this wine at their home-base winery on Sicily; for that reason, this wine is identified with the IGT Salina appellation). As you might expect, winemaking is impeccable, and the aromas are clear and concise with fresh peach, minty apple and Sicilian night-blooming jasmine. The wine is full and elegant but graceful all the while with a crisp and polished mouthfeel." Wine Advocate

“Pétracine” Riesling Langhe DOC 2021 (BIO)
The pioneer of Riesling on Italian soil is Aldo Vajra. Already fascinated by the variety as a student, he planted the first vines of the White Riesling variety in the Langa. Very light yellow-green in its youth, it develops into a strong straw yellow. The aromas of the noble Pètracine also take a varied course. Starting with peach and apricot, delicate floral and citrus notes follow in its mid-palate, while minerality comes to the fore as it matures. Harmonious and precisely structured on the palate, almost austere, fascinatingly complex and long. Great ageing potential! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Riesling Pétracine is soft, open-knit and quite tasty, with pretty tropical accents that play off more varietal orchard fruit, mint and floral notes. Drink this refreshing, elegant white over the next handful of years." Vinous

“Bertone” Pinot Nero Provincia di Pavia IGT 2015
As early as 1865, the first 1,850 Pinot Noir vines were brought to Italy from Burgundy by Count Vistarino. Since then, the vinification of this demanding grape variety has been continually refined by generations. Today, the Pinot Noir Noirs of the dynasty of winegrowers can even outshine much more expensive Pinot Noirs from Burgundy at international tastings. The grapes of the winery's top crus are cultivated at an altitude of 400 m above sea level. The high temperature fluctuations between day and night ensure a complexity, precision and elegance that is rarely found even in Burgundy.
Brilliant ruby red. In the nose it is delicately fruity with hints of small red berries, coffee and hints of damp forest soil. On the palate a subtle and precise fruit, the tannins are very fine and a long, never-ending mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“Piere” Sauvignon Bianco Friuli Isonzo DOC 2021
Rive Alte Sauvignon Blanc Piere is the lighter of the winery's two Sauvignons, but both wines are beautiful in their own way. Piere shows earthy notes of green olive, garden tomato leaves and sage on the palate, rounded off by upbeat and tangy flavours of citrus orange peel and some crushed mineral and white pepper. All the elements are in place and like all Vie di Romans whites, Piere needs time in the glass to find its centre and minerality. And if you have the patience to give it to him, he is great. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Sauvignon Blanc Piere 2021 is a spice bomb that captures my attention with hints of ground ginger, cardamom, flint and curry before flowing into dried nectarines. It is luxurious and silky, yet with a cooling minerality and acidity that underlines its floral notes of green citrus and melon. For all its intensity, the 2021 finishes crisp and classically dry, while spicy herbal notes linger. This forward, fruit-driven yet seductive Sauvignon is a true delight." Vinous
"Light straw yellow with greenish reflections. Intense, cool scents of gooseberry, pineapple, basil and flint. On the palate medium structure, soft with present fruit, persistent, juicy final." Falstaff
"Spicy and citrusy with pear slices, lime peel, spicy herbs and raw almonds. Medium to full-bodied, juicy and crisp with exciting phenolic character. Steady and lively acidity. Long and mineral with a creamy finish." James Suckling
"From the vineyard of the same name, a pure Sauvignon Blanc of complexity and finesse, aged on the lees in steel, notes of pineapple on the nose, nuances of lemongrass, hints of white pepper and cedar peel. Spicy-iodic on the palate, with a fruity-citrus finish." Luca Gardini

Barbaresco Serraboella DOCG 2018
Medium-bodied ruby red, fine rose bouquet with hints of tea and dried herbs. Beautiful black cherry aroma with well-integrated wood notes makes it a balanced and at no point intrusive wine. The 2016 climate also gave this Nebbiolo an impressive precision and straightness. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium red; some fruit, tobacco; powerful, juicy, good tartness, very pleasant." Merum
"Developed-looking mid ruby with bricky rim. Brooding, complex, deep nose with a hint of Moroccan leather. Generous but not yet fully open fruit, stitched together by gorgeous chewy tannins and ripe acidity. Good medium-term potential." Jancis Robinson

“Vieris” Sauvignon Bianco Friuli Isonzo DOC 2021
Soft, silky wine with aromas of ripe apricots and honey that harmonise well with the fleshy richness of the mouthfeel. The expressive and very varietal palate is crowned by abundant stone fruit, melon and pear. This is a strong showing from one of the winery's flagships. SUPERIORE.DE
"A graceful, medium-bodied white that caresses the palate with a creamy texture. Features flavors of ripe mango and melon, blood orange peel and crushed pine supported by mouthwatering acidity and an underlying streak of salinity, both driving the well-honeyed finish." Wine Spectator
"Rich and dense Sauvignon with notes of waxed lemons, ripe stone fruit, raw almonds and spicy and herbaceous nuances. The palate is full-bodied with depth and creaminess, but also with a lively acidity that gives it a fresh and citrusy appeal. Long finish." James Suckling
"The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris opens slowly in the glass, holding back in its youthful state, with hints of lemon oil, rosemary and wet stone accentuated by sweet spice. This is seamlessly silky, almost oily in feel, with sapid yellow citrus and savory herbal tones enriched by vibrant acidity. It finishes potent and spicy, leaving the palate saturated in an intense staining of primary concentration. The potential here is off the charts." Vinous

“Confini” Bianco Friuli Isonzo DOC 2018
Confini can justifiably be called one of the best white wines of Friuli. This crescent is an exciting blend of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Grigio and Riesling, with the strong aromas of Traminer clearly leading the way. Medium-weight on the palate, creamy richness and silky intensity, with hints of tropical fruits, gingerbread and exotic flowers. In the last third, it is again wide-ranging, full of freshness, juicy acids and grace - and with the lasting, deep impression that more than does justice to a top wine of this appellation. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Confini is exotic, with peach jam and mint offset by crushed stones, sage, fresh cucumber and tomato leaves. It is a textural thrill, weighty and almost oily, yet vibrant and fresh, with salty minerals and an acidity that balances the lush ripe melon and orchard fruit. There is a hint of heat, but it is not distracting, as the 2018 finishes long yet remarkably fresh. Confini is a blend of Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer and a dash of Rhine Riesling." Vinous
"Grapefruit, dried flowers, lychee and some preserved lemon on the nose. Intense dried citrus character. Full-bodied. Slightly bitter floral notes on the finish. Pinot Grigio, Traminer and Riesling. Drink now." James Suckling

“Fusonero” Taurasi DOCG 2015
The new Fusonero is a delight all along the line: in the bouquet fresh rose scent, spices, red berries, mint and liquorice. The palate is dominated by light, soft aromas, while the wilder, impetuous side of the Aglianico grape is elegantly restrained. It is a particularly silky, fragrant Taurasi, immediate, attractive - and with great depth and potential. SUPERIORE.DE

“Lozeta” Sauvignon Bianco Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2019
"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 of Ronco del Gnemiz are among the best made in Friuli today. There is a lot to choose from here, because the transparency of the terroir is paramount. It may be easier to sell and market one or two Sauvignons, Chardonnay or Friulano wines, but the differences between each hill, each site and the age of each vineyard create such unique expressions that it would be a shame not to produce all six.
Standing on the hill where this winery is located, looking out over Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali, it becomes clear why these vineyard designations are so important to the future of the region. These hills rise and fall like bubbles rising from the earth and dropping to the horizon. I can imagine a winemaker's fascination with each of these unique sites. If you were to make a short list of the best producers in Friuli, you should put Ronco del Gnemiz at the top of the list." Vinous
New to the single-varietal portfolio of the top winery is the single-vineyard Sauvignon from the Lo Lozeta vineyard of the same name, which, after years of experimentation, has finally seen the light of day. It is the result of the avant-garde planting system, which, in contrast to the method of cultivation previously practised in Friuli, means not only a higher planting density, but also the intelligent use of clones and biotypes intermarried with French offshoots. It is another uncompromising and consistent step towards complexity and personality, with optimal exploitation and expression of the existing terroir and microclimate.
It is only with this year 2019 that the wine has found the balance and complexity that enabled Christian Patat to present it to the public in a very small edition alongside the famous classics Peri, Sol and Salici. This result and this interpretation of Sauvignon Bianco, full of character, is not only something to look forward to, but also something to be proud of as a winemaker! SUPERIORE.DE
"Gravel, candied lemon peel, green apple and dusty dried flowers all flow effortlessly from the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Lozeta. It's silky-smooth, almost oily to the touch, but with an energy and precision that excites the senses, while salty minerals bring tension over a dense core of ripe stone fruits. Cheeks pucker with youthful tension, while tart citrus and floral notes linger long. The 2019 Lozeta could do with a year or two of ageing to reveal all its charms." Vinous

“Sangiovese di S. Lucia” Toscana IGT 2019
Bottled without added sulphites, this Sangiovese rarity is produced only in the best vintages and is aged for 16 months in cocciopesto, a vessel made from ground brick, fine stone, sand and natural fibre binder. This mixture can then be moulded into vessels that are waterproof but still allow for micro-oxygenation. The real peculiarity of Cocciopesto wine containers lies in the material itself, which is characterised by a high thermal inertia and a certain permeability that makes it ideal for all phases, from vinification to ageing.
Compact colour, fruity, slightly animal bouquet of strawberry, cherry, caramel and brown bread. Very juicy on the palate, with sufficient aeration a puristic and at the same time extraordinarily tasty pleasure. The production quantity is just 2,400 bottles. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby with a drop of violet. In the nose first nuances of rum pot, then after bitter chocolate and sour cherries. On the palate with fresh fruit and hearty, grippy tannin, spreads out decisively, then unfortunately a bit consuming in the finish." Falstaff
"The 2019 Sangiovese di Santa Lucia is Rampolla's red done in amphora, with no SO2. Bright, punchy and full of character, the Sangiovese is a wine of notable personality, I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later, while the fruit remains vibrant. Sweet floral, spice and game notes, along with that touch of reduction wines in amphora show, add to its personality." Vinous
"Flaunting its purity and unmistakable primary intensity, the Castello dei Rampolla 2019 Sangiovese di S. Lucia gives us all a little lesson in Sangiovese. If you look at the textbooks, this mighty Tuscan grape is often said to be redolent of wild berries, soil, rusty nail and blue flower. Low and behold, those are precisely the aromas you get. This vintage hits the nail squarely on the head and delivers a classic portrait. Earthy aromas of red brick and clay play a leading role. Indeed, the wine is fermented on the skins in amphorae." Wine Advocate
"Fresh and delicious, this 100% Sangiovese has earthy aromas of sunbaked soil, truffle, leather and ripe plum. Made entirely in earthenware vessels of cocciopesto (a blend of stone, sand, marl and terra–cotta) and without added sulfites, the smooth, juicy palate doles out ripe black cherry, blackberry, baking spice and mineral alongside supple tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. It's made to be drunk young so enjoy soon." Wine Enthusiast

“Lis” Bianco Friuli Isonzo DOC 2017
Lis is a blend of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and is one of the top wines of the house. Wonderfully multi-layered in its aromas of citrus and passion fruit, yellow apple and an initially barely perceptible flavourful lead from the Sauvignon Bianco. All elements of this cuvée are equal on the palate and masterfully blended, the mouthfeel is soft and round. With its subtle pressure, this complex and at the same time elegant white makes you want more and inevitably casts a spell over every Friuli fan. SUPERIORE.DE
"Intense light gold with straw yellow. In the nose restrained, filigree, of flint, citrus fruits, minimally of white stone fruit. Shows itself on the palate with racy acidity and polished course, powerful." Falstaff
"Aromas of apple pie, mango, nougat, almond, vanilla and custard. It’s full-bodied with an oily texture and fresh acidity. Some biscuity and nutty notes to close." James Suckling
"So pretty, delicate and fresh, the 2017 Lis is more of a whisper than a shout, but with a lot to say. Swirling unlocks nuances of young peach and mango complemented by hints of sage and ground ginger. It washes across the palate with ease, delivering mineral-tinged pit fruits and minty herbs, but also a slightly odd, yet still pleasurable, air of butterscotch. The 2017 finishes with medium length and nicely refreshing, while leaving a citrusy reverberation of tension and notes of hazelnut to linger on. The Lis is a blend of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, which could use a short stay in the cellar to blossom further and unlock its underlying depth." Vinous

“St. Valentin” Pinot Nero Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2020
Pinot Noir, which originates from France, has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850. The best sites, low yields, meticulous care and perfectionism in the cellar guarantee a fine, extremely sensual Pinot Noir with considerable ageing potential. Brilliant ruby-garnet colour. Delicious aromas of small berries, violets, cloves, smoke and vanilla. With age, the aroma gains interesting notes of porcini mushrooms and truffles. In the glass, the well-structured Pinot Nero Sanct Valentin shines with finesse, balance, spicy smoothness, fine tannins and a subtly integrated woody note. Pure seduction! SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, medium ruby red colour. Distinctive bouquet, with aromas of ripe cherry, some blackberry and a hint of dark chocolate. Polished on the palate, elegant tannins and precise fruit, right through to the lingering finish." Falstaff
"The Pinot Noir Riserva Sanct Valentin 2020 shows good tension and energy despite the considerable heat during this growing season and is very aromatic. This pretty wine offers candied cherries, apricots, blue flowers and orange peel. The Pinot Noir grows on soils of glacial debris with gravel and limestone. These conditions enhance the freshness of the wine." Wine Advocate
"A very attractive and aromatic Pinot with notes of fresh cherries, raspberries, dried summer herbs, liquorice and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, round and structured on the palate with firm tannins. Juicy and crisp fruit with a hint of bitter orange on the finish. Bright and concentrated." James Suckling

“Vigna Ca' Guicciardi” Inferno Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2019
The vineyard "Ca' Guicciardi" got its name from the farmhouse that lies in its centre. The single vineyard site is characterised by small, very steep valleys. Remarkable rock faces alternate with terraces supported by some of the highest dry stone walls in the Valtellina. The particular colour of the rock, which tends towards a quartz-like white, greatly enhances the power of the sun and results in higher temperatures and more light here than in other parts of the valley.
Vigna Ca' Guicciardi has an intense, bright ruby red colour, pronounced aromas of ripe red fruits with predominant notes of black cherry, currant, spices, with hints of liquorice, cloves and cinnamon in the background. Soft and full in the mouth, without appearing broad and denying its alpine origins. One cannot help but compare it to a complex Burgundy, its round tannins and wonderful depth and length round off the experience in a well-proportioned and highly elegant way. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sweet berries and cherries with lemon and orange peel character. Also watermelon. Medium body. Medium round tannins and a creamy finish. Nice texture and flavours." James Suckling
"This mountain red envelops you from the start with aromas of roasted cherries, savory spice and pressed red flowers. The precise and elegant palate serves macerated raspberries balanced by alpine herbs, crushed stones and elegant tannins." Wine Enthusiast
"An elegant red wine with well-integrated mineral nuances, fresh juiciness and a soft texture as well as aromas of wild strawberries, fine tobacco, iron, orange peel and a hint of red liquorice. The well-seasoned finish tempts you to take another sip." Wine Spectator

“Stilèma” Fiano di Avellino Riserva DOCG 2018
"The Stilèma project was born as a testimony of Antonio Mastroberardino's love for his land, his vines and his wines, for their original character." Piero Mastroberardino
The project aims to highlight the link between the vines, the wines and their territorial origins. In this way, the Mastroberardino family wants to recreate the style of winemaking of the autochthonous grape varieties of Irpinia (Greco, Fiano and Aglianico) that took place between the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1970s of the twentieth century for the Taurasi and between the years 1970 and 1980 for the two white wines from Irpinia. It is the unmistakable style (the stilèma) of a family that has interpreted the natural heritage of its territory over generations and today impressively highlights the genuine character of the terroir, which by no means can be expressed by high concentration and intensity alone.
Pale straw yellow with light green reflections. The 24 months of yeast ageing of this exceptional Fiano create a fascinating balance and complexity of the aroma profile with classic hints of flint, fine saltiness, the scent of fresh almonds, cedar wood and wild herbs. The taste is lively with a pronounced mineral note, accompanied by an inspiring freshness that gives it great drinkability and finesse. The precise and very long finish is also extremely convincing. SUPERIORE.DE
"Lean and mineral, with a pure fruit bundle of apricot and white cherry and base notes of stone and salt, with accents of white flowers, pink grapefruit pith, liquorice and smoked almond. Supple and well-integrated, with a delicious, lingering finish." Wine Spectator
"The 2018 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Stilèma opens slowly with notes of dried flowers and crushed stones that are replaced by apricots and ginger. It is silky yet supple, showing its minerality up front accompanied by tart fruit. The final is structured and long, colouring the palate with youthful concentration as notes of young peach and raw almond fade away. The 2018 is a powerful interpretation of Fiano Stilèma. Give it some time to relax." Vinous
"Slightly reticent nose, with suggestions of lemon flowers and dry minerals. Opens up on the silky, full-bodied palate to offer lovely fresh lemon and creamy mineral flavors that are driven by subtle acidity through the long finish. This is a noble, refined fiano that’s drinking so well now." James Suckling
"The Mastroberardino 2018 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Stiléma has been upgraded to Riserva and is creamy and smooth. The wine shows a medium fruit weight with notes of fruit trees and preserved lemons, enhanced by light oak spice and vanilla. Even more than the Greco Riserva Stiléma, which I also tasted, this Fiano seems more modern or "New World" in personality." Wine Advocate

“Casòn Hirschprunn” Rosso Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2018 (BIO)
Casòn Rosso is a Rosso produced on the basis of the rare, French Tannat grape, which rounds off the small edition of Lageder wines, which, although experimental, can rightly be described as unique and of a very high standard. Intense, fruity bouquet of plums and blackberries, plus some leather, smoke and green tea. Medium pressure on the palate, with an overwhelming juiciness and freshness, sublime tannins, delicate bitter notes on the finish. A wine that needs some time to mature in the bottle, but one that is not easily forgotten. SUPERIORE.DE

“u Baccan” Pigato Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC 2020
The Pigato grape has great ageing and maturation potential, especially in Liguria. U Baccan (Ligurian: the head) comes mostly from vines of the Russeghine vineyard, which are over 50 years old, produce a very low yield, and give it tremendous complexity.
Intense straw yellow with bright golden-green reflections. Impressive purity on the nose with beguiling hints of sage, thyme, peach, mango, cedar bark, acacia honey and silica. Enveloping, balsamic and mineral on the palate, then a hint of salty almond and candied citrus on the long, vibrant final. A Pigato in a class of its own in finest Riserva quality. SUPERIORE.DE

“ALTROVINO” Rosso Costa Toscana IGP 2019 (BIO)
Altrovino is a fine blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Intense, rich ruby red. Opulent scent of black fruits, leather and tobacco. Graceful and very charming on the palate, multi-layered in aromas, velvety and long. Already a harmonious pleasure, this wine will have a continuous career. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich ruby with a dark core and garnet rims. Finely spicy on the nose, with notes of black currant, wild berries, some mint, some dark chocolate in the finish. Supple on the palate, still quite young, firm tannin, juicy and with lots of grip, long finish with a slightly salty final." Falstaff
"The 2019 Altrovino, Duemani's Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend, is very beautiful. It offers a striking combination of floral aromatics. All the elements are so well-balanced. Dark cherry, plum, mocha dried flowers and herbs build into the fine, delineated finish. This is beautifully done." Vinous
"A finely crafted and beautiful red with blackberry, tobacco and currant aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a pretty finish." James Suckling
"The bouquet delivers some minty tones and eucalyptus essence on top of dark cherry and blackberry. There is a lot of concentration and fruit weight in this bottle, with a blast of pretty freshness on the close." Wine Advocate

Impeccable Amarone from the Valpantena subzone with a promising bouquet of dark cherries, sweet spices and a certain earthiness. Continuous and complex on the palate with an elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling ruby with garnet reflections. Intense and elegant on the nose, of pickled cherries and rose petals, underpinned by a slightly ethereal note. Powerful but supple on the palate, with velvety tannins, ripe fruit tones and a slight bitter note on the lingering final." Falstaff

“Eneo” Rosso Toscana IGT 2019
Eneo is supposed to be the "Grand Vin" of Montepesolo, the Italian answer to the globalisation of wines. And Eneo can do that. The blend of indigenous grape varieties, with Sangiovese and Montepulciano clearly in the foreground, unmistakably expresses its terroir and is understood worldwide in the process. SUPERIORE.DE
"Blackcurrant and cherry aromas with fresh flowers and orange peel follow through to a medium to full body with ultra-fine tannins that are integrated beautifully in the wine, leaving a bright, focused impression." James Suckling
"The 2019 Eneo is a wine of notable focus and drive. Black cherry, leather, tobacco, incense, smoke, dried herbs and gravel infuse the 2019 with striking layers of complexity. Firm but well-integrated tannins give the wine energy as well as proportion. There's a ton to like, but readers need to be patient, as the 2019 needs time to soften. This is an especially dark, at times somber, vintage of Eneo." Vinous

“Bianco di Riecine” Toscana IGT 2021 (BIO)
The grapes for this exciting, mash-fermented Trebbiano come from the vineyards that the Dunkleys (former owners of the winery) found when they arrived in Gaiole in Chianti. They are destemmed and fermented in Cocciopesto amphorae. Once fermentation is complete, most of the wine remains on the skins for six months, while a small portion (10-15%) is aged without skins for the same amount of time in new Liters tonneaux. Rich orange-yellow. In the slightly reductive bouquet notes of stewed apple, citrus and pear. Very fruity on the palate, with a striking acidity and a beautiful tannin. Medium-bodied and long, very exciting and drinky! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Bianco di Riecine is aged in amphorae. The 2021 is rich and phenolic, with an abundance of orange peel and hazelnuts. Dried herbs and chamomile complete the layers in this dense, phenolic white wine. It is a wine to be enjoyed on its own merits, as it is not intended to express any regional or varietal character." Vinous
"Sparkling straw yellow with greenish reflections. In the nose nobly restrained, stony, some citrus fruit as well as a hint of white peach. On the palate also lemony, straightforward and fresh, salty, refreshing acidity, medium-long, salty final." Falstaff
"A Trebbiano with skin contact, dried apples and lemon peel, walnuts and a touch of flor. It is full but not heavy, with an agile and crisp character. A hint of beeswax with dried fruit." James Suckling

“Linticlarus” Pinot Nero Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2018
Ruby red Pinot Noir with garnet red shimmer. Fine fruity bouquet of wild berries and cherries. An elegant red, well-proportioned and never overloaded, but with a clear identity and elegant character. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich sparkling ruby red with black-red accents. Pronounced aroma of heart cherries and ripe wild berries, a hint of white pepper and mocha on the nose. Taut and juicy, well-integrated tannin, balanced use of wood, ripe nuances, coherent, lively finish." Falstaff
"I love the interplay of delicately smoky oak and black cherry on the nose of this Sub-Alpine pinot noir. With some aeration, a freshly sliced red-beet note develops. Although the gentle tannins are slightly sappy, this fits very well with the medium-bodied, lively palate. Quite a dry, crisp finish that needs some time to harmonize further." James Suckling
"The Tiefenbrunner 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Linticlarus is a beautiful wine with a bit of spice and dried fruit, iron ore and blue flower, all woven together with a tight and seamless stitch. The wine plays forward over the palate with increasing intensity and balance. This is an elegant wine, and it's impossible not to be excited by these quality results with Pinot Noir from the far north of Italy. This expression concludes with length and a freshness that can be counted in minutes." Wine Advocate
