The grapes for this top Chardonnay come from clayey limestone soils interspersed with angular white dolomite rock. Intense straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The aroma is complex, characterised by exotic fruit, white pepper and a delicate spicy note. Voluminous, enveloping and engaging on the palate, with a powerful structure and a juicy, very harmonious acidity. The final is almost endless, a very great Chardonnay from South Tyrol. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, sparkling straw yellow colour. Reductive nose with delicate aromas of banana, mango, hazelnuts, later some passion fruit. Mineral, razor-sharp palate with a fine melt, juicy, racy, well-integrated wood, slightly salty, harmonious pressure, long-lasting final." Falstaff

"Fine creaminess on the nose, a hint of yellow fruit. On the tongue it is much more biting, absolutely vertical, no contact with the inside of the cheek, stands in the centre of the tongue with millimetre precision. Almost painfully polished, salty, shows absolutely no fruit, but pure, crystalline structure. A chalky Chardonnay straight out of a picture book." Vinum

"A hint of honeysuckle wafts through the flavours of pineapple and clementines, pickled ginger and salted Marcona almonds in this finely tuned white wine. It's well cut, with mouthwatering acidity driving the finish with chalk, flint and spice accents." Wine Spectator

"Baked apples with warm honey and aromas of fresh pie crust pour from the glass of this rich Chardonnay. Forward and loaded with ripe orchard fruit and apricot flavours with a hint of lemon oil, all balanced by fresh mountain acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"This wine is so floral and perfumed with cooked apple slices and a hint of honey. Fascinating. Medium to full-bodied with a serious presence and a complex palate of apple pie, peach, sandalwood and minerals. Beautiful flavours and intensity. Grand Cru level." James Suckling
