Vite Colte

Golden yellow with greenish reflexes and the sweet smell of fresh fruits. These wonderfully fruity aromas also prevail in the taste. The charming Moscato d'Asti has a fine mousseux and the typical nutmeg spiciness in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

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

"Aromas of gooseberries, fresh herbs and a hint of cat pee. Very sauvignon. Medium-bodied with sapid, saline flavors turning slightly salty on the finish." James Suckling

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

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

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

Of straw-yellow colour with light green reflexes. In the taste tangy-fresh, the elegant acidity paired with mineral hints. A harmonious and well-balanced Gavi with a great taste volume. SUPERIORE.DE

Nebbiolo Valdolmo is of intense ruby red and entices with complex vegetal, but also ripe-fruity fragrance. Powerful and fruity also the taste with the well integrated tannin. 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

"Plump and suave but not heavy-handed. Really attractive forest fruits with good length and plenty of spice and vigour." Decanter

"A juicy, ripe barbera with blackberry and lemon-rind character. Hints of chocolate powder, too. It's full-bodied with light tannins and a fresh finish." 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

"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. In the bouquet a colourful potpourri of dried berries, violets, chocolate and hints of fresh tar. Firm on the palate, the well structured tannins accompany this hearty wine into a tasty, long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Subtle aromas of strawberries, cherries and lemon rind follow through to a medium body with bright, vivid fruit, as well as candied watermelon and citrus. Lively." James Suckling

"Bright ruby. Tomato paste, raspberry, a hint of dried rose petal on the nose, cranberry on the finish. On the palate with clear fruit, juicy course, light salt and medium weight." Falstaff

"A layered, fruity red with ripe tannins with sweet strawberries, orange peel and walnut undertones. Full-bodied, rich and beautiful. Drink after 2021." 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

Barolo Paesi Tuoi was named after the novel by Cesare Pavese "Among Peasants" from 1941. Wide, warm scent of sour cherries, leather and mint. The expressive taste harmoniously engaging with silky tannins. A cleanly vinified Barolo with potential. SUPERIORE.DE

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

The Nebbiolo grapes for this archetypal Barbaresco from the dream year 2010 come from marl soils at an altitude of about 250 metres. After two years of maturation in large wood and another 8 (!) years in the bottle, 10 years after the harvest, a wine comes here on the market which, with its perfectly matured tannins and fine sweet melt, already gives much pleasure even to the impatient Nebbiolo fan.

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

"This Barbaresco, just like the Barolo, follows the traditional style of long maceration and ageing in large wooden barrels (two years), followed by over eight years of bottle ageing before being released. At the moment the Barbaresco Riserva is almost more delicate than the Barolo. Perhaps this is because a Barbaresco is generally not quite as strongly structured as a Barolo and therefore matures a little faster. This Barbaresco is also powerful on the palate and has the same fire as the Barolo, but is a bit lighter and more transparent in colour. It exudes the scent of violets and wild strawberries, a touch of clove spice, glides silky over the palate and develops a delicate Mon Cheri sweetness". Dr. Jens Priewe (weinkenner.de)

"Dark plums, cherry liqueur and lots of cinnamon and spices, but also a fresher, herbal thread with heather and bracken. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, which frames layers of plush red fruit against very muscular tannins. Long and very chewy on the finish. This flavorful, old release still needs time." James Suckling

"Once in a while fate (or a far-sighted proprietor) delivers a wine to our judges in mature style, so that we can suddenly appreciate in the glass before us all of those qualities which normally we only sketch out in excited anticipation. So it is with this richly constituted Barbaresco Riserva from the very fine 2010 vintage. It's still dark and sombre in colour, though its hues are now beginning to brick a little. The aromas are resonant, expansive, lusciously ripe and now melting down into an almost truffley harmony. On the palate, meanwhile, the wine remains sturdily built and lushly fruited, but yet again time has brought an inner softness; all the flavoury threads are now gathered and woven together. No need to hurry, either, but if you want the pleasures of age, find them here." Decanter

Essenze Barolo Riserva is vinified only in the best vintages. It is a blend of the best grapes from the vineyards of the Comune del Barolo. Ethereal scent, some forest earth, tar, tobacco and spices. A wonderfully balanced Barolo with fine acid and tannin structure and beautiful fruit component - completely in the style of the house and made for a long life! SUPERIORE.DE

"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
