Vintage 2024

Pale yellow with a greenish tinge – olli already looks like a Sicilian summer breeze in the glass. The pure Grillo comes from organic cultivation near Noto, where the vines are rooted in chalky soil and cooled by the sea breeze. Citrus, white peach, a little sage and a hint of salty sea air – the bouquet is fresh and charming. The palate is dry, lively and with animating fruit, accompanied by delicate minerality and a pleasant length. The ageing in stainless steel tanks gives it freshness and drinkability. An energetic wine with vigour and expressiveness right to the finish, this clear and balanced white from the trendy Sicilian Grillo variety offers exemplary value. SUPERIORE.DE

I Vini del Mare Belvento - this name stands for the still young project of the Moretti family, as it says which wines they harvest and press here in the Maremma, close to the sea: the wines of the sea of beautiful winds.

Bright ruby red with violet reflections. This Primitivo has a fresh and uncomplicated fruit flavour of ripe cherries, blackberries and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. Soft and harmonious on the palate, with a juicy texture, gentle tannins and well-integrated acidity. Maturation in stainless steel tanks preserves freshness and varietal character. "Neprica" stands for uncomplicated drinking pleasure with Apulian soul - ideal with pasta, pizza or simply in the company of good friends. SUPERIORE.DE

Delicate salmon pink with copper reflections – a rosé that already exudes Mediterranean elegance in the glass. Made from organically grown Nero d'Avola (30-year-old vines) from the hills near Noto, where chalky soils and sea breezes give the wine freshness and profile. Redcurrant, sour cherry, a hint of hibiscus and fine spice on the nose. Juicy and light-footed on the palate, with well-integrated acidity that combines freshness and drinking pleasure. A Sicilian rosé with style and lightness – ideal for warm evenings, sea dreams and the little escapes of everyday life. SUPERIORE.DE

A Vermentino with lightness and voice that epitomises the granite landscape of Gallura as well as the fresh sea breeze. The name Limizzani is reminiscent of ancient Mediterranean places of worship and lends the wine a mystical flavour – a northern Sardinian reminiscence that resonates in every sip. The grapes come from our own vineyards near Arzachena. Hills with sandy-granitic subsoil, close to the coast and aerated. The limestone-rich soils provide minerality, while the Atlantic wind adds freshness – the result is a refreshing base note with aromatic clarity. The style in the vineyard and cellar follows a purist path: Hand-picking, gentle pressing, static temperature fermentation in stainless steel and around six months on the fine lees, no wood notes, but maximum varietal purity.

Far from the fame of the Vino Nobile vineyards, this Chianti was created in the "Pozzi" vineyards, where Federico Carletti ventured an oenological experiment. At an altitude of 350 to 450 metres, with a view of the famous San Biagio church, densely planted Sangiovese vines thrive on stony clay soils of almost skeletal permeability. Ninety-five per cent Sangiovese blends with five per cent other Tuscan varieties to create a Chianti of uncompromising authenticity. Six months in stainless steel preserve the youthful freshness of this DOCG composition, which Federico deliberately conceived as an alternative to modern velvet gloves.

Classic rosato with character: Terre Lontane is made from Gaglioppo and Cabernet Sauvignon – an unusual but extremely successful combination that creates depth and tension. The vines grow on chalky and clayey soils near the Ionian coast, whose proximity to the sea favours ripeness while retaining freshness. Brilliant raspberry pink with salmon-coloured shimmer. The bouquet is inviting and fragrant, with notes of redcurrants, pink grapefruit, wild roses and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. Lively, dry and precise on the palate, with a delicate tannic grip, good juiciness and a fine fruity finish.

In the glass, this Trebbiano has a light straw yellow colour with slightly greenish reflections – a visual preview of freshness and clarity. The fragrance opens with green apples, citrus notes and white flowers, accompanied by a subtle hint of mineral freshness. Finely structured and balanced on the palate: lively acidity, delicate fruit, clear expression and a dry, slightly salty finish. The ageing in stainless steel preserves precision and varietal typicity. An uncomplicated, animating wine with a Mediterranean character – perfect with light dishes or seafood. SUPERIORE.DE

The eponymous hill of St. Magdalena in the north of Bolzano gives this authentic South Tyrolean classic its unmistakable character. The autochthonous Vernatsch and Lagrein grape varieties grow harmoniously side by side on the loose moraine debris soils of the historic vineyards of St. Magdalena, St. Justina and Leitach between 200-500 metres above sea level – a symbiosis that has epitomised the essence of South Tyrolean viticulture for centuries. The traditional cuvée benefits from the ideal climatic conditions of the protected slopes above Bolzano, where warm days and cool nights give the grapes their characteristic balance between fruitiness and elegance. The geological composition of the glacial debris soils ensures optimum drainage and gives the wine its typical mineral structure.

The steep slopes of St. Magdalena near Bolzano, between 300 and 350 metres above sea level, are home to this legendary South Tyrolean red wine speciality. The autochthonous Vernatsch grape thrives here in ideal climatic conditions on moraine debris soils facing south and south-east. The cuvée of 90% Vernatsch and 10% Lagrein is vinified by the renowned St. Michael-Eppan winery, which has been one of the leading co-operatives in South Tyrol since 1907. The grapes are hand-picked at the beginning of October and carefully selected. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation before being matured in steel tanks.

Pure Sangiovese-Rosato, with fine floral nuances, strawberry and violet notes on the nose. Fresh on the palate, well-structured and with clear, red berry flavours through to the delicate, salty, spicy finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The world knows Montefalco above all in its dark red colour – sagrantino, tannin, depth. The fact that the Caprai house, which helped write this red legend, also produces white wines of distinction is its best kept secret. The Bianco Montefalco combines two very different partners: Trebbiano Spoletino – the autochthonous Umbrian grape variety, aromatic, fresh and acidic, with a subtle floral flavour – and Chardonnay, which adds fullness and flavour to the blend. No wood, just steel and time: three months of ageing, three months in the bottle. The result is not a white wine that tries to show off, but one that has a very respectable balance.
