Dark, intensely sparkling ruby red. On the nose cherries, blackberries, blueberries and spices, rounded off with a nice mineral and balsamic touch. Youthfully cool on the palate, initially even rather purist, it becomes smoother with increasing air intake and reveals its spicy vein. For us, in its unmistakable style of young Bordeaux wines, it is the classic dry companion to grilled or roast dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Elegant bouquet of white fruits, flowers and yeast notes. The full, multi-layered aroma of white stone fruit and the fine, long-lasting perlage inspire to the last sip! SUPERIORE.DE

Merlot grapes from mineral-rich terroir and the style of Conte Loredan Gasparini produce this wine with an unbeatable price-quality ratio. Fine bouquet of cassis, minerals and a tiny hint of vanilla, harmonious and well-balanced on the palate, the tannins firm yet full of melting, long final. SUPERIORE.DE

Traditional infusion of aromatic herbs, spices and especially red radicchio, which gives it an original touch and a special character. The aroma is moderately intense, with distinct notes of rhubarb, ginseng and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it is soft and balanced, lingers for a long time and leaves the traditional, delicately bitter amaro taste of red radicchio in the mouth. SUPERIORE.DE

St. John's Eve on 24 June is traditionally the day in Italy when the still unripe walnuts are harvested for Christmas. This time represents the ideal balsamic ripeness of the fruits, which are carefully selected, harvested by hand and then conscientiously prepared. This is followed by an infusion of cinnamon, lemon peel, cloves and sugar, followed by a further maceration period to extract the aromas from the botanicals. Only at the end of a further maturing does this fine nocino achieve the right balance from its various substances. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep, dark red, fresh, vegetal notes on the nose, delicate smoke aromas and red berry fruit. The taste is elegant and dense. A beautifully juicy cuvée for sophisticated drinking pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dried herbs, sweet berries and baked olives on the nose that extend to a medium-bodied palate with some red cherries and plums. Juicy and bright with some orange citrus in the finish." James Suckling

Piera Dolza means "gentle stone" and is the name for a very rare, historic dessert wine that was first produced around 1600 in the traditional Prosecco area around Conegliano. It is only thanks to the initiative of 7 small local producers that it is produced again today.

This delicious wine is a blend of three different local grape varieties: Glera (Prosecco), Verdiso and Boschera. The grapes are dried on racks for 6-8 months and are then pressed by hand with a wine press. The resulting concentrated must ferments in barriques for a month and matures there for another three years. As with many other passito wines, tradition dictates that the barriques in which the wine is stored are not completely full. This leads to gradual oxidation and towards the end of the ageing process results in characteristics similar to those of sherry or Marsala.

This gives the final product great longevity, which means that an opened bottle can be enjoyed for several weeks. The wine is amber in colour, very complex on the nose with a bouquet of ripe and dried fruit with notes of apricots, almonds and figs. There are also citrus fruits that are a perfect balance to the sweet spices and vanilla. On the palate, it is a real explosion for the taste buds: residual sweetness and alcohol content make the wine soft and full-bodied, but without being too broad or too sweet. The velvety feel is entwined with a beautiful acidity that refreshes the palate and makes the wine very long. The brilliant final is characterised by notes of citrus fruits, caramel, almond and peach. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, light amber. Shows notes of dried porcini mushrooms, baked apple, plus almonds and baked apple on the nose. Spreads richly on the palate, notes of a basket full of dried fruit, seems almost dry in the final due to a slightly bitter component." Falstaff

Capo di Stato has long been a legend thanks to its top quality and history. The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbech was created by Conte Loredan Gasparini. A finesse-rich wine in the classic Bordeaux style, dense and of excellent structure with aromas of spices and red fruits. Fascinatingly ripe tannins, skilfully integrated the new French barrique in which the wine was aged for two years. SUPERIORE.DE
