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

"Bright cherry and strawberry combine with violet and rose when the 2021 Vernatsch Schiava opens in the glass. It is remarkably beautiful and full of energy. The 2021 is powerful with a core of tart red fruits. It leaves hints of liquorice and spice, while residual acids maintain freshness." Vinous

"Lifted aromatics of cranberry and pomegranate mixed with violets and crushed stone define this fun mountain red. Plush and fruit forward, the palate offers flavors of sour cherry, savory spice and wildflowers. The wine is fresh and fruity. If you want to be transported to the mountains, here you go." Wine Enthusiast

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

"Golden in color, this rich and opulent Pinot Grigio captivates from the start with aromas of ripe Fuji apple, fresh cream, roasted lemon rind, a hint of acacia honey and dried flowers. The palate is rich and full in body, showing creamy pear coated in sweet baking spices from the time the wine spent in oak. The wine finishes with vibrant acidity and stony minerality." Wine Enthusiast

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.

A great Chardonnay with pleasant fullness and impressive length. SUPERIORE.DE

"This shows notes of stone fruit, pear skins and guava with beeswax, spicy herbs and crushed almonds. Minerals, too. Medium- to full-bodied and steady with polished texture. Structured and focused with crushed stones and spicy undertones. Vivid and clean." James Suckling

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

"The 2019 Pinot Noir Riserva Vigna Kofl is dark and woodsy in the glass, mixing flowery underbrush with crushed stone over a core of black raspberry. This washes seamlessly silky and pure across the palate, with spiced citrus and brisk acids that enliven its tart wild berry fruits. A mineral staining lingers as the 2019 finishes crisp yet tart and almost crunchy, leaving fine tannins to frame the wine beautifully. The Vigna Kofl is expertly balanced and a total pleasure to taste." Vinous

"Bright ruby red with a dark core. Pronounced fruity notes of small wild berries on the nose, plus some undergrowth and rose petals, and a light spicy touch on the finish. Fruit-driven on the palate as well, with nice pressure, fine-grained tannin, and subtle bitter almond on the extended final." Falstaff

"A spicy and smoky Pinot Nero with notes of charred bark, oyster shells, grilled herbs, spiced cherries and currants. Medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins. Rich espresso notes on the finish." James Suckling

"The Peter Zemmer 2019 South Tyrolean Pinot Noir Riserva Vigna Kofl (3,000 bottles) presents itself delicately with candied blueberries, cassis and blue flowers. It is a silky and refined expression that glides smoothly across the palate. The finish is thin and slender. The fruit comes from the Koflhof vineyard in Aldino, which lies at an altitude of 1,030 metres and is characterised by gravelly and calcareous soils." Wine Advocate

"Lots of ripe red cherry and redcurrant fruit, with some bloodiness and some forest floor character. Good intensity on the front palate. Lots of red cherry and savoury notes, underpinned by appropriate oak spice, lively, fresh acidity and ripe, rounded tannins. The length is excellent too. Wow!" Decanter
