This Schiava has a typically fruity bouquet of cherry, raspberry and strawberry. On the palate, it is fruity and mineral with a firm, slender structure. A fresh and very fairly priced companion for every day. SUPERIORE.DE

Straw yellow with green reflections and a wide and colourful range of fruit aromas reminiscent of banana and melon. The juicy taste is fresh, lively, with a pleasant fullness and an inviting and persistent persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"White apricots, peaches, cream, vanilla and lemon pie on the nose. Medium to full body with a round, creamy texture. Pretty nougat and lemon-cream notes." James Suckling

"Straightforward juicy ripe apple and fresh apricot. Generous texture with rich mid palate with green pepper and nutty hints, lovely acidity through the finish." Decanter

Sparkling, radiant golden yellow. On the nose, classic varietal tones of quince, pear, white peach and tangy citrus carefully correspond with the impression on the palate. The pretty mineral note gives the wine linearity and a brilliant sense of clarity. This fresh South Tyrolean Pinot Blanc is another example of Italy's great white wines, and this is especially evident at this truly honest price point. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliant straw yellow, the bouquet is intense and persistent. Lightly aromatic on the palate, typical of this vine, fruity fresh, elegant and delicate. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright straw yellow in colour with a distinctive, subtly fruity aroma of pear, this wine is dry, soft and slightly nutty on the palate. A wonderfully integrated acidity gives it power, balance and structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Almond peel, lemon and hazelnut nose. Round and ripe with juicy pear fruit flavours, quite lively acidity and a fair finish." Decanter

"The delicate nose offers inviting aromas of sun-warmed hay, white stone fruit and a whiff of bread dough. On the elegant, linear palate, savory notes suggesting saline accent ripe yellow pear before closing a note of hazelnut. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced." Wine Enthusiast

"Intense and layered pinot grigio with aromas of white pears, green apples, mangosteens, lemons, white pepper and acacia. Medium-to full-bodied, bright and flavorful." James Suckling

For years the traditional-modern and inexpensive classic from South Tyrol! This wine shines with its fruity aromas of blueberries and undergrowth and a well-balanced taste and goes well not only with hearty snacks but also with mildly spicy meat dishes. Nice drinking flow with character! SUPERIORE.DE

A rich and complex Riesling, fragrant with honey and candied fruits. The full-bodied and rich taste is supported by a fine acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Linear and vibrant, this lovely white has enticing scents of white spring flowers and yellow stone fruits. The elegant palate offers juicy peach, apricot and a hint of saline alongside tangy acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Golden yellow with complex smell of roses, cloves and fruits. Full-bodied, soft and round on the palate, with an interesting slight bitter note on the finish. Beautifully interpreted and characterful Traminer from South Tyrol. SUPERIORE.DE

The Sauvignon Blanc of straw-yellow colour tends towards greenish. Fine, delicate aroma, very fruity of gooseberry, elderberry and nettle. The taste is very full, round and carried by an elegant acidity. Pleasant citrus tones in the final. SUPERIORE.DE

Harmonious, velvety Pinot Pinot Noir from vineyards at an altitude of approx. 450 m. These hills with special conglomerate soils of clay and lime and the very suitable microclimate form the ideal conditions for a clear Pinot Nero full of character. Bright ruby to garnet red. Fine, ripe aroma of dark berries and sour cherry. Then harmonious and soft on the palate with a good balance of fruit and body. SUPERIORE.DE

"Considering this pinot noir went into the bottle just half a year after the harvest, it has remarkably satisfying harmony. I love the sour-cherry and fresh red-beet nose, as much as the full, supple tannins on the fresh, medium-bodied palate." James Suckling

Typical South Tyrolean vintner's sparkling wine: straw yellow with greenish reflections, fine nose, delicately fruity with subtle yeast notes. Lively dancing with invigorating, fresh acidity and medium fullness. SUPERIORE.DE

Complex, rich cuvée of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio with small amounts of Sauvignon and Gewürztraminer. Intense fruit bouquet and a well-structured, very harmonious taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Beautiful Pinot Gris Riserva from selected single vineyards on the valley floor around the village centre of Kurtinig an der Weinstraße. Giatl matures in small wooden barrels for 12 months on the lees, which gives it complexity and finesse. Straw to golden yellow in the glass, with a powerful bouquet of ripe yellow fruits, strong, balanced and slightly salty on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"A more complex and rounded pinot grigio with aromas of almonds, cedar, lemon curd, white peaches and meringue. Medium to full body with a buttery texture. Sweet vanilla notes to close." James Suckling

"Broad and ripe with rich developed fruit aromas and evident oak; light citrus lift. Ripe and round with a silky texture and chock-full of rich and juicy ripe pear, smoked vanilla, nutty and patisserie flavours. Ready now but won't fall over soon. A stellar release." Decanter

This wine full of character comes from grapes of the top vineyard Crivelli from calcareous, gravelly-sandy soils. The favourable microclimate with high temperature fluctuations between day and night and strong downdrafts from the Fennberg influence the character of this crus. In addition, a daily wind coming from the south ensures good aeration of the berries and ideal sunlight promises excellent qualities for the grapes of this elegant grape variety.

Crivelli matures in small wooden barrels for 12 months on the yeast, which gives it elegance and complexity. Golden yellow in the glass, fruity bouquet of tropical fruits with a hint of vanilla, powerful, balanced and slightly salty on the palate. A great Chardonnay with pleasant fullness and impressive length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense bright lemon yellow. Delicate aroma of ripe peaches and papaya, plus butter cream, some bourbon vanilla and pine nuts. Juicy on the tongue, with great tension and creaminess, powerful in body yet balanced, long and persistent on the final." Falstaff

"Engaging nose of white peach, perfumed melon, pear and lemon, then a palate of green apple skin and supporting acidity." Decanter

"A complex, structured chardonnay that carries the vanilla and spicy oak very well and hasn’t lost its citrusy and appley freshness during maturation in cask. In spite of 14% alcohol, this remains on the elegant side and has a light touch at the fairly oaky finish." James Suckling

"A release of about 4,000 bottles, the Peter Zemmer 2018 Alto Adige Chardonnay Riserva Vigna Crivelli is a single-vineyard cru with lots of dimension and texture, drawing its fruit from the coveted Punggl zone. This wood-fermented Chardonnay delivers cumin, toasted almond and spice on a bed of creaminess, but there are no spiking aromatic highlights here because the peach, melon and spice are ironed out to complete the sensation of smoothness and submission." Robert Parker

The wine comes from impressive altitudes (approx. 1,000m above sea level) at Koflhof in Aldein. Perfect southern exposure, ideal sunlight and in addition the daily wind "Ora" ensure optimal ripening of the grapes. Intense, sparkling ruby red. Refined bouquet of wild berries and sour cherries. On the palate warm, enveloping and of compact structure with present berry fruit and well-integrated tannin. Long and supple on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

"A savory and smoky pinot nero with notes of charred bark, oyster shells, grilled herbs, spiced cherries and currants. Medium-bodied with lightly chewy tannins. Rich espresso notes to close." James Suckling

"Lots of ripe red cherry and redcurrant fruit, with a certain bloodiness and some forest floor characters. Good intensity on the front palate. Lots of red cherries and savoury notes backed up with judicious oak spice, lifted, fresh acidity and ripe, rounded tannin. Superb length, too. Wow!" Decanter
