“Tavernetto” Pinot Nero dell' Oltrepò Pavese DOC 2020
The first 1,850 Pinot Noir vines were brought to Italy from Burgundy by Count Vistarino back in 1865. Since then, the vinification of this demanding grape variety has been continuously refined over the generations. Today, the Pinot Noirs from the winegrowing dynasty can even outshine much more expensive Pinot Noirs from Burgundy at international tastings.
Tavernetto is the third cru of the estate, named after the 1.71-hectare vineyard where the grapes develop splendidly at an altitude of 250 to 325 metres and with a south-southeast exposure. It is considered the most balanced of the Tenuta's vineyards, with the most evenly positive results. The calcareous subsoil of the single vineyard is ideal for Pinot Nero, resulting in a top wine of great personality.
Intense ruby-garnet colour. Fruity on the nose with elegant, fresh notes, yet the incipient depth and complexity of this Pinot Noir can already be sensed today. Full, round and fruity on the palate, the silky tannins flank its fine flavour through to the elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“Pernice” Pinot Nero Provincia di Pavia IGT 2013
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.
Pernice comes from the single vineyard of the same name and fascinates with its fine fragrance and elegance. Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose complex and rich with notes of violets and small red fruits, some roasted coffee and cocoa. On the palate elegant, full-bodied, with present fruit, very balanced with a pleasant minerality and a long, spicy finish. The harmonious tannins make this wine elegant and give it a good backbone from start to finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Perfumed with fragrant spice and smoky mineral notes, this dense and chewy Pinot is fresh and appealing. Medium-bodied, with a core of ripe raspberry and mulberry fruit, Earl Grey tea and tar notes that expands on the finish." Wine Spectator

“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.

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

“Essence” Franciacorta DOCG 2018 brut
Franciacorta Millesimato brut perfectly combines the elegance of Chardonnay and the aristocracy of Pinot Nero. A rich bouquet with hints of apple, jasmine blossom, camomile and sea salt. Round and aromatic on the palate, with a very fine, persistent perlage and creamy foam. This Brut accompanies starters or the entire menu. Perfect! SUPERIORE.DE

Custard and baked pear hints linger as the 2018 finishes with medium-length and crisply refreshing." Vinous

“Essenza” Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2018
Essenza is a classic Valtellina Superiore that draws its fruit from the terraced high mountain vineyards in one of the northernmost corners of Italy. Ruby red with garnet inclusions. Beautiful aromas of dried strawberries, mushrooms and flowers that open up to pure fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with appealing depth and intensity. The fine and layered tannins are polished and flattering. Essenza magically balances power and elegance, much of its straightness and focus coming from the lingering mineral notes of crushed slate or granite that add salty notes to the finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"A fragrant red with notes of ground anise and white pepper and accents of dried flowers, iron and graphite. Light on its feet and elegant, with fine, crisp tannins and pretty flavours of wild strawberries and glowing cherries." Wine Spectator
"Spicy and intense nose with dried plums, funk, oranges, dark liquorice and black earth. Also some balsamic notes. Fluid, medium-bodied palate, marked by dusty tannins and juicy, earthy and mushroomy flavours on the palate. Firm, structured and chalky. Beautiful Nebbiolo austerity." James Suckling
"The Tenuta Scerscé 2018 Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo Essenza is packaged with a brown label and shows very clear and intense with varietal notes of wild berries, sour cherries, blue flowers and floral earth. This wine shows a pretty floral side with blue violet and fresh lilac giving the bouquet a pretty vertical lift." Wine Advocate
"Elegance and drinkability in excellent balance. Notes of raspberries open up on the nose, then a hint of thyme, the palate is iodine, zesty and crisp, with returning fruit. It closes with a lovely flavourful persistence." Luca Gardini

“Carlo Negri” Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2019
The grapes for Carluccio "Carlo" Negri, named after the winery's authoritative pioneer, come from vineyards in the DOC and DOCG areas of Valtellina on the slopes of the Rhaetian Alps along the right bank of the Adda River. The sfursat, world-famous for the region, is produced by the natural drying of the grapes, favoured by the cool and dry winds from the mountains. In the "fruttaio", the fruit shed, they lose almost 30% of their weight during this process. The result is therefore a unique Nebbiolo: rich and intense, with the typical mineral and fresh character of Alpine wines.
Medium ruby red. Concentrated, complex bouquet with notes of ripe berry fruits, cyclamen and spices like black pepper and cinnamon. Dry on the palate, with beautiful dark primary fruit with firm tannins that are tart when young. Further on, full-bodied, persistent, with a long finish and subtle hints of cloves and liquorice. Harmonious, too, its fresh acidity, which will make it vibrant and exciting, especially after further years of ageing, one of the best wines of the appellation. SUPERIORE.DE
"A energetic Valtellina with cherry and floral aromas and flavors that are highlighted with hints of vanilla and bitter citrus. Full-bodied with round tannins that are soft and velvety and plenty of ripe fruit that remains fresh, focused and intense." James Suckling

The perlage is persistent and fine, firm body, polished mousseux, with a harmonious, fresh and long final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, brilliant peach-pink colour. Fragrant and clear nose of apricots, cream, candied orange pieces, floral hints. Precise, straightforward, almost airy on the palate, carried by a velvety perlage, delicately fruity, balanced and harmonious, great rosé!" Falstaff
"A bright and zesty style with red berries and ruby citrus fruit, delivered in a cleverly approachable and focused style." James Suckling
"The 2018 Rosé Essence is coy in the glass, lifting up with a nuanced mix of white strawberries and citrus-tinged florals. It's more lively on the palate, splashing across the senses with an elegant bead of fine bubbles and ripe red berries that are perfectly offset by saline-mineral tones toward the close. A burst of inner sweetness punctuates the finale as hints of inner rose, licorice and nectarine slowly fade. A bit more bottle age may help the aromatics to evolve. Otherwise, this is already highly pleasurable." Vinous

Camphor, wild roses, wild berries and hints of graphite and vanilla are the main protagonists of this fragrant red wine.

“Vigna Sassorosso” Grumello Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2019
The "Sassorosso" vineyard is located on a rocky promontory that is separated from the rest of the mountain and has been almost completely eroded by the glacier over the centuries. It is visually distinguished by the unmistakable red colour of the ferruginous inclusions in the rock. The overlying shallow soil layer consists of clay and sand and lies on friable, metamorphic rock into which the roots can penetrate. The unmistakably elegant and mineral character of the terroir is thus particularly strongly expressed in this Nebbiolo.
Bright, transparent ruby red with a fine garnet hue. On the nose, small red fruits such as blackberry, redcurrant, cherry and raspberry complemented by fresh, floral notes of violets and roses. The palate is dense with a very tasty attack, silky tannins and a seemingly endless finish. A wine of great austerity and purity with considerable ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Aromas of cut plum, red liquorice, roasted thyme and hibiscus. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins. Straightforward with real freshness and juicy red fruits." James Suckling
"The 2019 Grumello Sassorosso is a potent wine laced with strong mineral and savory notes that lend nuance as well as energy. Sweet dried cherry, crushed rocks, sage, mint and pipe tobacco open in the bouquet, but the Sassorosso remains a bit stern and unyielding in feel." Vinous
"Spicy at first, with notes of tarry smoke, loamy earth and grilled herbs evolving into a more subtle thread that winds through flavours of plum sauce, cherry reduction, anise and graphite. Long and slightly juicy overall, with a creamy edge to the otherwise chewy tannins that firm up the spicy finish." Wine Spectator

"An elegant red, with delicate notes of woodsy spices, dried flowers and wild herbs serving as an enticing thread that winds through macerated black cherry and dried fig flavors. Long and fresh, with creamy tannins providing fine definition through the minerally finish." Wine Spectator

“Alma” Franciacorta Gran Cuvée Rosé DOCG (2019) brut
Radiant rosé with golden reflections. Fine, refined perlage with a dynamic foam. Its generous aromas are characterised by fragrant nuances of white Mediterranean flowers harmonising with ripe citrus fruits. Then, fresh and intense notes of yellow fruits, nectarines and lychees reveal themselves with generous accents of red berries, pomegranate and pink elderflower. In between, delicate chords of white chocolate, cocoa, almonds and marzipan resound. The taste corresponds perfectly with the nose and is subtle, silky, seductive and persistent. The fine structure reveals a unique lightness. Long-lasting persistence. We are delighted by its crystalline freshness and linearity. SUPERIORE.DE
