The oldest indigenous red wine variety in South Tyrol, Vernatsch, finds its ideal location in the traditional St. Magdalena near Bolzano with its steep slopes interspersed with porphyry gravel. Powerful, fruity bouquet, aromas of cherries, red berries and lightly roasted almonds. Elegant structure, freshness and fine-grained tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Pinot Grigio Hill bursts from the glass with a display of ripe peaches, white flowers and sweet smoke. It’s silky and round in feel, boasting a balanced inner sweetness offset by saline-minerals, with vivid yellow apple and a hint of lemony citrus. The 2021 Hill finishes long but fresh as nuances of chamomile taper off. This harmonious Pinot Grigio is a total pleasure to taste." Vinous

"Plenty of sliced-pear and fresh-apple fruit with just a hint of pineapple make this generous pinot grigio easy to enjoy. Keeps pumping out the fruit at the juicy finish." James Suckling

Floral-scented Pinot Blanc, clear, fine-fruity aromas and silky texture on the palate, beautifully balanced and drinkable. SUPERIORE.DE

Typical Chardonnay with complex aromas of exotic fruits. On the palate, it has a harmonious, fresh elegance, slender yet powerful. SUPERIORE.DE

"The bright and frank nose of lemon juice and lemon zest pulls you into this un-oaked chardonnay that’s refreshing, but also has a very satisfying balance of ripeness with generous substance and lively acidity. The juicy fresh-pineapple character lifts the bold finish very nicely." James Suckling

The almost flat vineyard sites of Gries near Bolzano feature sandy alluvial soils permeated by quartz porphyry. The Lagrein grapes, which predominate in this fresh cuvée, reach full ripeness here thanks to the heat-retaining properties of the Bolzano valley basin and thus gain their typical velvety softness. These deep red grapes are pressed with very short skin contact and thus surprise with fruity-fresh aromas of cherries combined with a hint of almonds. With beautifully integrated acidity, this rosé goes particularly well with strong starters from South Tyrolean cuisine, fish dishes and summer-inspired dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright ruby, vinous aromas and appetisingly fresh scent of red cherries. Fruity on the palate with velvety tannin, harmonious and of good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intensely bright light red with garnet reflections. In the nose of fresh cherries, black pepper and tarragon, in the background delicate rose petals. Juicy attack with clear draw, fine minerality on the back palate, seems harmonious, with floral-salty finish, good drinking flow." Falstaff

Dark garnet red. Full bouquet of ripe cherries, violets and delicate chocolate notes. Round and powerful on the palate, with pleasant freshness and a respectable finish. You can feel the warmth of the Bolzano valley basin around the municipality of Gries, which predestines it as the perfect companion to game dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Gennen is a pretty Sauvignon with a harmonious aroma and finely nuanced fruit. Energetic, fresh and excellently structured, it spoils the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bit funky (reduction) at first, but with aeration the grapefruit-zest and flinty character emerges. Then, there's lovely juiciness and elegant acidity on the medium-to full-bodied palate. Very crisp finish." James Suckling

"Heady aromas of white spring flower, peach, tropical fruit and the barest whiff of fresh bread dough come to the forefront. Savory and poised, the bright palate features succulent white grapefruit, pineapple and white peach before a crisp fennel finish." Wine Enthusiast

Flawless and dynamic Gewürztraminer: strong golden yellow, delicately smoky, fine orange note, rose oil, perfect varietal characteristics. Powerful, mineral and persistent on the palate, rose petals in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

In the deep chalky gravel soils around Margreid in the south of South Tyrol, very old vines take root in a very warm environment. The many hours of sunshine, combined with the afternoon onset of the Garda Ora wind, create the best conditions for growing late-ripening Cabernet grapes in particular. Charming aroma of wild berries with a fine smoky note. Medium-bodied on the palate, well structured and very elegant. SUPERIORE.DE

Classically elegant Pinot Blanc with a beautiful fruitiness and the typical aromas of apple, grapefruit and pineapple. Well-dosed acidity, impressive freshness and a fine saltiness. Pure drinking pleasure! SUPERIORE.DE

"What a complex and enticing nose this sophisticated Alto Adige pinot bianco has, the aromas spanning the range from sliced pear to wild berries and fresh tarragon. Quite some power and structure mean this is not a quaffing wine, rather one that demands and deserves your attention. Long, chalky finish with some positive tannin." James Suckling

Pinot Noir from the best sites in and around Eppan. The compact loamy soils with limestone deposits on porphyry rock offer ideal conditions for rich grapes. In the bouquet, diverse, spicy and fruity aromas of raspberries and cherries. Powerful, full-bodied and harmonious on the elegant palate with a long final. SUPERIORE.DE

Magred (formerly Magré) is an extravagant white, reminiscent of a Grand Cru from Burgundy. Brilliant pale yellow. Fascinating exotic bouquet of pineapple and coconut, plus a touch of toasted oak, caramel and a salty note. Medium-bodied, with a certain creaminess, long and very multi-faceted. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright intense straw yellow. Somewhat reductive on the nose, of cheese rind, lemon juice, limes, light honey and white flowers. Round and smooth on the palate with a minimal smoky touch, stretches pleasantly over the tongue, fine acidity in the finish." Falstaff

"An impressive chardonnay with complex notes of brioche, butter and fresh pecorino cheese, married to a full but elegant body that ends with tons of salty minerality." James Suckling

Sparkling, rich straw yellow. Opens with fine spicy notes of anise and cloves, with lots of mango and apricot. On the palate, racy and juicy, spreads out richly, then delicate notes of papaya and lychee follow, then fine spices round off the taste experience in the back. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, radiant golden yellow. Refreshing aroma of ripe pineapple, lemon peel and blood orange. Juicy attack with a fruity-sweet touch, powerful with mouth-filling texture, not lush, animating freshness and saltiness in the finish." Falstaff

"This rich, concentrated gewurztraminer is so fresh with plenty of yellow-rose character, but as it flows over your palate, the flavors turn from bitter lemon and orange in a warm direction, as the 15% alcohol makes itself felt." James Suckling

On the nose, aromas of ripe yellow stone fruit, beeswax, kiwi, peach and quince. The medium-bodied, racy palate offers finesse and invigorating, supporting acidity, apricot, juicy grapefruit, alpine herbs and a hint of pineapple. With a lovely mineral note, Pitzon glides into a lingering finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Sparkling yellow-green. The elegant, floral-scented Sauvignon Bianco Mantele is irresistible with beautiful varietal typicity and a pleasingly slender waistline. Fine mineral notes on the palate give play, overall very juicy and fresh. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very light lemon yellow. Delicate reduction on the nose, then of juicy, ripe lemons, some flint, delicate alcohol. On the palate with nice lively acidity, balanced, with a full body, juicy melting, slightly alcoholic in the finish." Falstaff

"This is a tight, linear sauvignon with sliced-lime and lemon character, as well as some green apples and minerals. It's full-bodied, yet compact and tight. Energetic. Excellent is the word." James Suckling

High-class Pinot Blanc from the South Tyrolean Wine Route, or more precisely from the exposed altitude of Sirmian, where the Pinot Bianco finds its ideal location and an optimal microclimate. This is why it is of remarkable quality every year. Clear and straw-yellow sparkling in the glass, intense bouquet of light blossoms, green apple, red currants and a hint of sage and nutmeg. Harmonious, powerful and persistent on the palate, with a full flavour typical of the grape variety and a beautiful melt, mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose of this remarkable dry pinot blanc is a deep well of citrus, pear and stone-fruit aromas. But, despite the impressive ripeness, there’s no hint of the exotic-fruit character that overripeness brings. So concentrated and precisely delineated, the finish very bright and energy-laden. Many years ahead of it!" James Suckling
