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

Straw yellow with green reflections and a broad and colourful palette of fruit aromas reminiscent of banana and melon. The juicy flavour is fresh, lively, with a pleasant fullness and an inviting and pronounced persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pretty nose of green fruit and Mirabelle plum, while the crisp palate is laced with juicy, ripe fruit." Decanter

Bright straw yellow in colour with a distinct, delicately fruity aroma of pear, this wine is dry, soft and slightly nutty in flavour. A wonderfully integrated acidity and citrus vein give it freshness, balance and structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Elegant and restrained aromas of delicate flowers; lemon peel, lime, acacia and grassy, flinty notes on the palate." 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 in 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

For years the traditional-modern and inexpensive classic from South Tyrol!

Nice drinking flow with character! SUPERIORE.DE

Golden yellow with a complex aroma 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

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

The "Buchholz" valley slopes above Salurn in the South Tyrolean lowlands were already documented in the historical cadastral cartography of 1858. This impressive Chardonnay comes from this terraced area of dolomite sedimentary rock at an altitude of 400 to 800 metres above sea level.

Greenish yellow, with a bouquet of banana and pineapple, sliced apple and wild herbs. Very juicy on the palate, inviting and stimulating to drink with its pretty palette of fruity flavours, fine minerality and a certain herbaceousness. The fullness in the mouth is very pleasant, the personality and length are a lot of fun even at a young age. SUPERIORE.DE

"This has praline, apricot, lemon curd and mango crumble on the nose. Some vanilla, too. It’s medium-bodied, creamy and pretty with sweet stone fruit." James Suckling

Lagrein Riserva "Furggl" comes from rather clayey soils in the area around Auer/Ora and is a spicy, elegant wine with an intense aroma of violets and wild berries. Clean, fruity and rich flavour with sweet tannins, precisely calibrated acidity and a well articulated finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium ruby red colour. The nose is snappy. Eucalyptus, tar, ripe plums, lots of oak. Lots of everything. Very dark chocolate on the palate and high extraction. The wine needs air and time." Vinum

"The flavours of macerated blackberries and juicy black cherries are underlined by a spicy hint of herbal olives, ground pepper and mineral notes. This medium-bodied red wine is dark but fresh, with good tension from the fine-meshed, taut tannins." Wine Spectator

"The Lagrein Riserva Furggl 2021 is dark, almost wild in the glass, with a woody blend of wild berries, earthy tones and peppery herbs. The juicy acidity soothes the palate with a silky texture that brings out an abundance of tart red and blue berries. Grippy tannins show on the finish, while the 2021 finishes structured and long with a lingering primary concentration." Vinous

"A full-bodied red with blueberries, cassis, dark chocolate, hazelnuts and rosemary on the nose. Firm yet creamy, with a solid tannin structure and a velvety texture that carries you through. Long and polished. Drink or keep." James Suckling

Wonderful Pinot Gris Riserva from selected individual 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 fruit, strong, balanced and slightly salty in flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"Initially closed on the nose, clearly reductive style. Then pear, hazelnut, hay, a hint of vanilla. Then shows its power on the palate, creamy, spicy, enormous depth and complexity." Vinum

"The Pinot Grigio Riserva Giatl 2021 opens with a gentle sweetness. Notes of camomile complement wild flowers and crushed yellow apples. It is pleasantly round with ripe fruit and sweet spices flowing over a savoury acidity. Ginger spices add a savoury tension to the finish. The 2020 finishes full of tension and with medium length." Vinous

"Graceful and finely meshed, with a silky texture. With detailed flavours of ripe peach and yellow plum, chamomile, broom, lemon wax and blanched almonds, this wine is fresh and concentrated through to the lightly spiced finish." Wine Spectator

"Apple slices, peaches, grapefruit, cloves and blanched almonds on the nose. Creamy and fresh, medium to full-bodied, with a subtle spiciness and a delicious finish." James Suckling

This characterful wine comes from grapes grown in the top Crivelli vineyard on calcareous, gravelly-sandy soils. The favourable microclimate with high temperature fluctuations between day and night and strong down winds from the Fennberg influence the character of this crus. In addition, a daily wind from the south ensures good aeration of the berries and ideal sunshine promises the grapes of this elegant grape variety excellent quality.

Crivelli matures in small wooden barrels for 12 months on the lees, giving it elegance and complexity.

SUPERIORE.DE

"Still restrained, but promising. Floral notes, a hint of salty minerality. Very animating. Subtle, perfectly integrated spicy notes. Balanced despite its youthfulness. Gripping on the palate, beautifully dry, with great finesse and vigour." Vinum

"Toasted hazelnuts and smoked almonds on the nose, with pineapple, salted butter and apricot kernels. Creamy and toasty, with a full body and layers of buttery goodness. Drink or keep." James Suckling

"Aromas of Canary melon, yellow peach and lemon curd are interwoven with an array of toasty flavours of chopped hazelnut, vanilla and spice. Framed by a fine, firm acidity, this graceful, medium to full-bodied white wine is slightly chalky in texture, with a lingering, fragrant finish with floral, mountain herb and mineral accents." Wine Spectator

"The Chardonnay Riserva Vigna Crivelli 2021 blossoms with a rich blend of crushed almonds, sage and baked apple.

"Opulent and concentrated aromas on the nose of papaya, mango and melon; white spice, vanilla and crunchy apple on the palate." Decanter

The wine comes from impressive altitudes (approx. 1,000 metres above sea level) at the Koflhof in Aldein. Perfect south-facing exposure, ideal sunshine and the daily "Ora" wind ensure optimum ripening of the grapes. Intense, sparkling ruby red colour. Refined bouquet of wild berries and sour cherries. Warm and enveloping on the palate, with a compact structure, present berry fruit and well-integrated tannins. Long and supple final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Exuding hints of Mediterranean scrub, tea rose, ground pepper, graphite and mace, this bright, fragrant red wine is firm and focused, with chalky tannins that define the fruit of crushed raspberries, redcurrants, blood orange peel and mineral notes. Sip slowly and let this noble red wine open up in the glass." Wine Spectator

"Grilled mushrooms, roasted herbs and red berries on the nose. A hint of vanilla. Spicy and fruity with a medium body, soft tannins and a delicious, creamy finish. Drink now." James Suckling

"Dusty rose and blood orange fade into violet and lavender tones as the 2021 Pinot Noir blossoms in the glass. On the palate, it displays a fine texture and pure wild berries enlivened by zesty acidity, while rosy, floral notes emerge towards the finish. It leaves a layer of soft grippy tannins and a hint of sour citrus that tickles the cheeks and finishes long, balanced and full of character." Vinous

"Copious amounts of raspberry, strawberry and plum fruit sizzle alongside the fragrant anise and liquorice spice. Remarkably plush with velvety tannins and a charming fruit-laden acidity." Decanter
