Vintage 2024

Palmina comes from 45-year-old vines, is only produced in very small quantities and is an extremely successful example of a single-varietal Sangiovese Rosato and one of the best in Tuscany. An impressive wine with an independent profile, the bouquet of rose petals is extremely complex and delicate. The fruity flavour has an enchantingly elegant structure, juicy and fresh, with crisp acidity and an appealing finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine, slightly aromatic Sauvignon with a typically idiosyncratic varietal bouquet reminiscent of nettle and elderberry. Wonderfully lively fruit on the palate with notes of green pepper, mint and gooseberry and a savoury, crisp acidity. The finish is long and leaves a chalky minerality that is emphasised by a hint of tropical flowers. SUPERIORE.DE

Typical Chardonnay with complex aromas of exotic fruits, pie crust and apple compote. Harmonious and fresh elegance on the palate, powerful and long. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Bianco Berg offers soft, savoury aromas of white stone fruit, alpine herbs and Spanish broom. The palate is creamy and polished, with juicy pear, ripe yellow apple and hazelnut, before finishing with a fresh citrus note. SUPERIORE.DE

Rare white wine from Vajra's 4-hectare Baudana boutique vineyard in Serralunga. Light, bright straw yellow colour. Fresh bouquet of citrus fruit, nectarine, flint and flower meadow. Fine acid wire on the palate, interesting flavours and a medium body, making it a perfect accompaniment to exotic and light summer dishes. Fresh finish with beautiful minerality . SUPERIORE.DE

The geological origins of the soil date back to the time when African and European plates collided, creating the Alps. The diversity of the terroir lends this white Nebbiolo rarity minerality and elegance. Straw yellow in colour with golden reflections. Lush bouquet of green apple, citrus fruit, honey and toasted bread. Dry and fresh on the palate, this unusual white provides a great deal of drinking pleasure, rounded off by a fine minerality in the complex finish. Be sure to aerate! SUPERIORE.DE

Pale straw yellow with golden reflections - a Chardonnay that lives not from the wood, but from its origin and freshness. In the Colli Orientali, the variety shows a particularly fine face: the high altitudes around Prepotto bring coolness and precision, while the chalky soils provide structure. The nose has hints of yellow apple, citrus fruit, lime blossom and a hint of white almond. Juicy, balanced and clear as a bell on the palate, with lively acidity and mineral depth. A north-east Italian Chardonnay that emphasises terroir rather than effects - authentic, taut and wonderfully unagitated (and not at all as international as the grape variety). SUPERIORE.DE

Floral and slightly spicy, stimulating bouquet of green apple, peach and melon. Aromatic freshness, fullness and harmony on the palate. Fine, clean and very harmonious quality. SUPERIORE.DE

A radiant entry-level wine from Salento: Luna presents itself in the glass in a light straw yellow colour with a silvery shimmer. The fresh bouquet is reminiscent of sun-ripened citrus fruits - grapefruit, lime - with green apple spice and a hint of Mediterranean herb blossom. Fresh and elegant on the palate: lively acidity, a fruity punch and a pleasantly salty minerality on the finish. Matured in stainless steel tanks, it remains clear and typical of the variety. An uncomplicated white wine that is youthful and authentic - ideal for light dishes, fish or as a lively accompaniment on warm days. SUPERIORE.DE

This is Stefano Inama's vision of a terroir-driven Chardonnay off the beaten track. While the winery enjoys worldwide recognition for its Soave Classico wines, this Chardonnay del Veneto epitomises the experimental side of the winery – and impressively proves that the volcanic soils of the region can also lend exceptional expressiveness to international varieties. The grapes come from vineyards in Soave and Monteforte d'Alpone, where a fascinating geological peculiarity comes into play: this wine is the only Chardonnay cuvée from the winery that combines grapes from both volcanic basalt soils and limestone formations. This rare combination – volcanic lava meets sedimentary limestone layers – creates a complex terroir that gives the Chardonnay both mineral depth and structural elegance. Stefano and his now highly active sons Matteo and Alessio consistently refrain from using wood – the focus is entirely on the purity of the fruit and the expression of the volcanic terroir.

"I am particularly attached to this wine, which is named after the border collie that lived with us for fifteen years. Otto is the youngest wine we have, fresh and ready to drink. A wine you should always have in your cellar." Graziano Prà

Yellow-green, delicate bouquet of tropical fruit with a fine floral-honey touch. Lively acidity on the palate, pleasant caramel nuances, fresh, powerful and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. Lively bouquet of crisp pineapple and white peach, with components of camomile, elderberry and a fine spiciness. Crisp on the palate with cool, present fruit, light-footed and straightforward with an interesting arc, very full-bodied and multi-layered, ending with a juicy, mineral finish and a subtle almond note. SUPERIORE.DE

The Rosso di Montalcino from Caparzo embodies the philosophy of a house that has been one of the pioneers of modern Montalcino since 1970. Under the visionary leadership of Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, wines are created here that perfectly express the terroir understanding of the various micro-locations. This Rosso is far more than just the "little brother" of the legendary Brunello – it is a wine of character in its own right, combining the youthful freshness of the Sangiovese grape with the complexity of different vineyards. The grapes come from three strategically selected vineyards that cover the entire spectrum of the Caparzo terroirs: In the north, the Caparzo site at an altitude of 220 metres, in the south Il Cassero at 270 metres and in the east San Piero-Caselle at 250 metres. This diversity of locations – from the warmer, early-ripening sites to the higher, cooler terroirs – enables the cellar team to create the optimum blend depending on the character of the vintage.

The history of Lagrein cultivation in Alto Adige dates back to the 14th century. The Lagrein from St. Michael-Eppan is a characterful representative of its grape variety - powerful, but well-managed, with regional typicity and a clear profile. Grown on brooding, sandy-loamy soils in the Bolzano and Appiano area, the wine shows what South Tyrol's indigenous red wine variety can achieve in good hands. The 2024 vintage brought a balanced ripeness that allowed for freshness and depth in equal measure. After the classic mash fermentation, the wine matured for several months in large wooden barrels, which lends structure without overpowering the fruit.

Sur Sur is a fresh Grillo, named after the little cricket whose gentle chirping symbolises lightness and new beginnings – a loving reminder of the playful, unforced life of the Sibyllines that blossoms on Sicilian soil. The vines grow in the west of Sicily around Contessa Entellina, on clayey-loamy soils with a chalky structure, which give the wine a lively freshness and aromatic purity. The colour in the glass is a brilliant straw yellow, clear and inviting. The nose reveals floral notes, white peach fruit, melon, grapefruit and a hint of herbs. On the palate, Sur Sur is soft, with juicy fruit, fine acidity and a seductive grip that makes you want to take another sip right away – an uncomplicated Grillo with a sunny disposition and fine origins, perfect as an aperitif or a light accompaniment to antipasti and summer delights.
