The Croatina grapes for this fine sparkling classic of the Oltrepò Pavese come from the south-west side of the Cascina San Carlo at an altitude of about 250 metres. The vineyard covers 12 hectares of land composed of silt, clay and sand. Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Fresh aroma of red fruits, soft taste, full-bodied fruity and vinous. The fine acidity, the mousseux and the hearty fresh fruit make this Bonarda a classic companion for rustic snacks, pasta dishes with meat or risottos. SUPERIORE.DE

Delicate yellow colour, charming floral fragrance, fine acidity on the palate, dry and well structured taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of honeysuckle, crushed herb and white stone fruit lead the way on this vibrant white. It's crisp, light-bodied and savory, offering juicy grapefruit and white peach alongside a note of bitter almond." Wine Enthusiast

Intense yellow. Fine nose of Pinot Gris with notes of white and yellow fruits. On the palate round, full-bodied and very animating. Gains in complexity with increasing bottle maturity. SUPERIORE.DE

Here comes a real rarity in the glass: white vinified Pinot Nero. Light yellow with golden reflections. Fresh bouquet of citrus, white currant and herbs. On the palate crispy fresh acidity, yellow-white fruits and a fine saltiness. A real delicacy with an aperitif or octopus salat. SUPERIORE.DE

Essential and fine bouquet with hints of withered violets and spices, delicate nuances of strawberries and almond blossoms. Deep, warm and rich in taste, the tannins wonderfully harmonious, in the long final an elegant, very pleasant bitter tone. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderfully fresh Lugana, which, with a few grams of residual sugar, is an elegant exception of its kind and promises far more than uncomplicated enjoyment. Straw yellow, enchanting scent of white freesia, pleasantly dry on the palate with fruity aromas and fine nuances of citrus fruits and almonds. SUPERIORE.DE

"This opens with intense aromas of honeysuckle, green melon and tropical fruit. Mirroring the nose, the palate offers honeydew melon and lemon zest alongside tangy acidity. It closes on a white-almond note." Wine Enthusiast

Bright, bright yellow, fine fragrance of white fruits and flowers. Fresh, well-balanced taste with pleasantly lively acidity, delicate bitter almond note in the aftertaste and a fine mineral vein in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromatic, featuring flint, smoke and chive blossom accents and flavors of yellow peach and pink grapefruit granita, this bright, zesty, light- to medium-bodied white is lithe and racy, with a lip-smacking, lime blossom– and spice-laced finish." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of exotic fruit, white spring flower, citrus and a whiff of tomato vine lift out of the glass. Vibrant and linear, the savory palate doles out juicy grapefruit, spiced apricot and a hint of pineapple alongside crisp acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Pale straw yellow. Lively aromas of yellow apple, pear, apricot and soft herbs, lifted by a floral element. Clean, nicely delineated and piercing but boasts a round texture in spite of its noteworthy acidity. Finishes long, with subtle grapefruit, sage and pear flavors persist on the perfumed, gentle aftertaste." Vinous

Straw yellow with golden reflections. Generous bouquet of white flowers and yellow fruits, in the drink it reveals an inviting fullness, harmony and elegance. The fine acid wire of the Rhine Riesling leads this special drop into a mineral and long final. SUPERIORE.DE

This Nebbiolo comes from the vineyards of the Inferno (hell). The mountains owe their name to the steep slopes and the glowing summer temperatures there. Pure bouquet of red fruits, underpinned by a hint of tobacco, on the palate hints of mineral notes, in addition fine tannins, perfectly integrated in an appealing acid structure. A very authentic, classic and straightforward wine. SUPERIORE.DE

The fragrance expresses all the complexity of Nebbiolo: dried flowers, fruit, liquorice and tobacco. The taste feels soft like velvet, in which alcohol, tannin and acid blend very harmoniously with each other and linger attractively. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby with bright orange tinges. Minerally cherry and raspberry fruit nose with a saline note and hints of savoury oak. The palate is much better filled-out with fruit than the Fracia or the Mazér. Firm stalky tannins frame supple cherry fruit. Bright acidity on the finish and firm tannic grip having the last say." Jancis Robinson

"Youthful rosewood and red fruit aromas. Ripe juicy red fruit flavours of some intensity. Still young but promises well." Decanter

The Sassella Le Tense is aged for one year in small oak barrels. Beautiful aromas of candied cherries and spices, complex and flattering on the palate, the tannins firm and enveloped by the fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

"Raspberries, rose and geranium nose with earthy and plummy flavours followed by a dry and orange finish with hint of dried anice." Decanter

"Loaded with spice box, wild herb and graphite aromas, this medium- to full-bodied red is bright, with tangy acidity, offering flavors of fresh and candied strawberry fruit, trimmed by light, taut tannins that firm the minerally finish." Wine Spectator
