Vite Colte

The charming Barbera Rosso Fuoco shines ruby red with distinct violet reflections. Intense scent of wild berries, spices and ripe sour cherries. On the palate, fruit and harmony, the clear structure and the balanced finish are convincing. SUPERIORE.DE

Elegant pale pink. Flattering, persistent bouquet of floral notes with a fresh component of citrus fruit. On the palate, it flows fresh and silky, the fruit is present and the well-integrated acidity leads it buoyantly into a striking finish - a summer wine par excellence! SUPERIORE.DE

"Very light salmon colour. Strawberry curd, rose notes, orange blossom. Delicate and delicate on the nose. Elegant and straight on the palate with red fruit and rhubarb. Discreet aroma, opens up. Lingers well, the acidity then comes into its own." Vinum

Chardonnay Fosche with a fine bouquet of ripe fruit, flowers, butter and fresh pastry, very pleasant and fresh the full-fruity taste and the creamy finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Apple pie with a light sprinkle of powdered cinnamon on top. Tasty, medium palate with persistent fruit and spice. Delicious." James Suckling

Distinctive white from the Monferrato. The aromatic grape variety Sauvignon Blanc gives the wine its unique floral bouquet. Its velvety texture and fine acidity are the basis for the extremely complex taste. Tra Donne Sole (The Lonely Women) is named after a work by Cesare Pavese. SUPERIORE.DE

Straw yellow colour with pale green reflections. Tangy-fresh on the palate, the elegant acidity paired with mineral hints. A harmonious and well-balanced Gavi with attractive flavour volume. SUPERIORE.DE

Authentic Piedmontese white wine made from Arneis grapes. Delicate scent of flowers and fruits, clean, smooth, solid on the palate and wonderfully fresh on the palate due to the pleasant acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

Nebbiolo Valdolmo has an intense ruby red colour and entices with a complex vegetal, but also ripe-fruity aroma. The taste is also strong and fruity with well-integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Dreamlike Barbera, dedicated to the last work (La Luna e i Falo = Young Moon) of the writer Cesare Pavese. This wine symbolises the connection to the earth and to one's own origins. Dark purple. On the nose complex aromas of dark red, plump, juicy cherries, finest spices, plums and black forest berries. In the mouth polished, dense and with lots of fruit. Present but silky tannins, finely enclosed by the fruit, finesse-rich and persistent with a first-class acid structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red with violet. In the nose with a clear use of wood, light malt, milk chocolate, then violets and wild berries. On the palate supple and with a rich melting, comes in many layers, then in the finish unfortunately a bit consuming due to the wood use." Falstaff

"Rather complex nose here with a black-fruit core that’s colored by a variety of aromas, from hazelnuts to clay-like minerals, violets and perfumed bark. The same complexity on the almost full-bodied palate with luscious, sweet-fruit flavors and a controlled finish with very fine, lightly firm tannins. Long, savory aftertaste. Nicely done. This is serious barbera that will age nicely for some years. Gets better and better every vintage." James Suckling

Ruby red and with a typical aroma of red fruits, in which spicy aromas and light vanilla tones from the oak mingle. The dense fruit, a harmonious acidity and the velvety tannin determine the long taste of this top-class Barbera. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, intense ruby-violet. Intense and memorable nose, of blackberries and plums, some dark chocolate in the background. Fine spicy components on the palate, exceedingly juicy, shows good drinking flow, long finish, after cherries and chocolate." Falstaff

"Sour cherry compote, warm baking spices, and dark fruit perfume. A powerful wine with saltiness and balanced acidity with firm tannins." Decanter

Full-bodied, appealing interpretation of the grape variety. On the nose, a colourful potpourri of dried berries, violets, chocolate and hints of fresh tar. Firm on the palate, the well-structured tannins guide this hearty wine into a tasty, long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very pleasant, sweet raspberry and red-berry character here with a hint of creamy acidity and light tannins. Easygoing, tasty palate with a light firmness to the finish, but the sweet fruit pushes through." James Suckling

Convincing selection of "La Luna e i Falò" from grapes harvested exclusively in the DOCG area of Nizza Monferrato. Its colour is deep red and as dense as its bouquet of wild berries, plums and tobacco with a fine toasty vanilla note from the barrique. The soft, spicy taste lingers long and with great elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

Terre da Vino's colourful Barbaresco La Casa in Collina smells interestingly of wilted flowers, sour cherries and tobacco. The taste is extremely well-balanced with excellent persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Clear ruby red with a lightening rim. Delicate herbal scent adorns the nose, of rosehip and spruce shoots, plus pickled currant and a little fumé. Draws gracefully across the tongue, finely woven tannin interplaying with juicy acidity, compact, draws crisply into the medium-long finish." Falstaff

"Perfumed and fresh with strawberry and orange-peel character that comes through on the palate with medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. Hints of cedar. Fresh and delicious now." James Suckling

La Bella Estate (The Beautiful Summer) is named after a work by Cesare Pavese. Strong golden yellow with an opulent aroma of candied fruit, nutmeg and vanilla. Warm and full on the palate, always in the foreground the floral sweetness of the Muscat grape with an optimally dosed acidity framework.

There are over 20 years of experience in this Moscato Passito. "Over time," explains the company's president, Piero Quadrumolo, "we have managed to find an optimal balance with the aim of obtaining an aromatic wine with clear varietal typicality of a Moscato, which does not appear too broad or boring and which also has good acidity." Today, just 15,000 bottles are bottled per vintage, most of which are delivered directly to the haute cuisine of Piedmont. SUPERIORE.DE

"Open-hearted shimmering brick red with a ruby red core. In the bouquet of ripe plums and black elderberries, lavender and mint, also a little earthy on the nose. Builds up pleasantly, shows finely woven tannin, full-bodied with good melting, compact, harmonious finish." Falstaff

"Sweet cherries and strawberries with flowers and citrus on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with tannins that grow on the palate. Yet, they are balanced and refined. Give this a year or two to come together and soften slightly. Try after 2023." James Suckling

Dreamlike Barbera, dedicated to the last work (La Luna e i Falo = Young Moon) of the writer Cesare Pavese. This wine symbolizes the connection to the earth and to its own origin.

"Ripe plums with berries, walnuts, leather and hints of spice. It’s full-bodied with round, chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Very tannic. Solid. Try after 2024." James Suckling

The Nebbiolo grapes for this archetypal Barbaresco come from marl soils at about 250 m above sea level. After two years of aging in large wood and another 6-7 (!) years of bottle aging, here comes a wine on the market that, with its perfectly ripened tannins and fine sweet melting, already gives a lot of pleasure even to the impatient Nebbiolo fan.

Ruby red with garnet reflections, convincing, spicy bouquet of violets, moss, rose petals and small red fruits. At the palate beautiful pressure, thereby open-hearted, fresh and full-bodied, with well-dosed extract-sweet notes of maraschino cherry and a beautiful fruit, which promises a further great future in connection with the fine-meshed tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Still an elegant, fresh Barbaresco with strawberry, tar and hazelnut aromas and flavors, in a subtle, polished package. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. This is showing really well and drinking beautiful. Racy. Really well done, especially for the vintage." James Suckling

"A robust wine, powerful, also muscular with grippy tannin and many exciting facets. In the fragrance fresh blackberry and cranberry with a pinch of liquorice powder, plus the typical scent of forest floor and dried mushrooms. The veil of tannin under which young Barolo lies has already lifted somewhat." Jens Priewe

"Dark shining ruby red with delicately brightening rim. In the nose slightly balsamic with dark berry fruit and mild leather, in the reverberation after noble mushrooms and undergrowth. Opens on the palate with elegant melting and great density, balanced between tannin, acidity and fruit, spans a coordinated arc, pithy final." Falstaff
