Dieser Schiava hat ein typisch fruchtbetontes Bouquet nach Kirsche, Himbeere und Erdbeere. Am Gaumen fruchtig mineralisch und von fester, schlanker Struktur. Ein frischer Begleiter für jeden Tag. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Schiava grape produces softly contoured and delicate red wines that offer a mild texture and lean appearance not unlike a traditional Pinot Noir from Burgundy. The Peter Zemmer 2019 Alto Adige Vernatsch Schiava opens to aromas of wild raspberry, rose, lilac and white licorice. The wine's smooth and silky mouthfeel and its fresh berry flavors call out for some homemade fried chicken. With 14,000 bottles made, you get terrific value." Robert Parker

Tiefdunkelrote Farbe, schöne Fruchtaromen nach Kirschen und reifen, dunklen Beeren. Im Geschmack ausgewogen, komplex, dicht, finessenreich und mit seidenen Tanninen. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Fattoria le Pupille 2019 Morellino di Scansano is a bright and lively value wine that trusts its basic identity to cherry, dried raspberry and some wild bramble or rosemary essence. This is a lean and sprightly red wine that boats the freshness and intensity of Sangiovese along with the wild fruit and blue flower sensations that are most often associated with this mighty Tuscan grape. I could see a happy pairing with oven-cooked pasta or lasagna." Robert Parker

"A red with plum and cherry character, as well as hints of terracotta and rust. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tangy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. This is always a good, go-to red."James Suckling

Cognos klassischer Dolcetto Vigna del Mandorlo fasziniert mit einem komplexen Bouquet. Der saftige Geschmack wird von feinem Tannin getragen und zeigt einen herrlichen Bittermandelton im Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Elvio Cogno 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba Mandorlo is a beautifully fragrant expression of the grape, with impressive purity and focus. Dark cherry and fresh blueberry are followed by crushed limestone or white stone. The wine is only aged in stainless steel, and the vineyards see calcareous-rich soils. The wine is lean, almost mid-weight in terms of density, but it shows the simple balance and harmony to pair with Ascoli olives, or olive ascolana, that are fried and stuffed with minced pork and bread crumbs." Robert Parker

Strohgelb mit grünen Reflexen und einer breiten und bunten Palette an Fruchtaromen, die an Banane und Melone erinnern. Der saftige Geschmack ist frisch, lebhaft, mit angenehmer Fülle und von einer einladenden und anhaltenden Beständigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Peter Zemmer 2019 Alto Adige Chardonnay (closed in a screw cap bottle) offers an honest and straightforward interpretation of the grape. Chardonnay is presented with naked purity here, revealing tangy citrus, white peach, grapefruit and even a hint of saffron. This is a lean-bodied wine with the fresh acidity and easy personality to pair with finger foods or fried appetizers." Robert Parker

"A smoky, flinty chardonnay with sliced-apple, mineral and stone aromas and flavors. Nougat, too. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

Fruchtige, florale und zart würzige Nuancen im Bouquet. Am Gaumen mittlere Textur, angenehm rotbeeriger Geschmack. Ein charaktervolles Trinkvergnügen. SUPERIORE.DE

"This pretty Tuscan Rosato opens to a pale pink color with some polished copper shine. The wine is fresh, light and bright with pink grapefruit, lilac, blood orange and a touch of Thai basil or lemongrass that is unique to this blend of grapes. In the mouth, RosaMati plays it easy and safe with pretty acidity and streamlined appeal." Robert Parker

"A fresh, fruity rosé with lots of strawberries, salt and stones with a medium body, creamy texture and a tangy finish. It’s bright and spicy at the end." James Suckling

Funkelnd rubinrot mit intensivem Duft nach reifen Waldbeeren, konzentriert, vollfruchtig und doch elegant der Geschmack, der in einem frischen, geschmeidigen Abgang ausklingt. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Sicilia Benuara (with fruit from the Tenuta Presti e Pegni estate) is a beautifully rich, memorable and concentrated Sicilian red blend. The bouquet unravels to black fruit intensity with barbecue spice, savory leather and crushed peppercorn. This robust red wine offers ample body and intensity and would pair next to roasted suckling pig on the spit. This is always a great value choice." Robert Parker

"Made with 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Syrah, this opens with aromas of black-skinned berry, bay leaf and sandalwood. The full-bodied, juicy palate offers blackberry jam, star anise and black pepper alongside chewy tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Funkelndes, sattes Goldgelb, klares Bouquet mit Noten von Aprikose, am Gaumen sehr viel saftige, kompakte Frucht und feiner Schmelz, im Finale schön frisch. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of honeysuckle and white stone fruit shape the nose. On the savory palate, fresh acidity accompanies ripe apple, creamy pear and honeydew melon. It closes on a white-almond note." Wine Enthusiast

"A lightly smoky and minerally pinot bianco with sliced-apple and lemon aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, creamy texture and a long, flavorful finish." James Suckling

"The Peter Zemmer 2019 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco opens to delicate but steady intensity, blossoming in slow motion before the senses. It shows classic varietal tones of quince, pear, white peach and tangy citrus that is carefully measured against those more neutral fruit flavors. A pretty mineral signature gives the wine linearity and a brilliant sense of clarity. Alto Adige Pinot Bianco is one of the great white wines of Italy, and it shows even at this extremely affordable price point." Robert Parker

Der strohgelbe Somereto duftet fruchtig und intensiv nach reifer Banane und anderen tropischen Früchten. Am Gaumen voluminös und sehr nachhaltig mit angenehmer Säure. Ein moderner Cosmopolit mit schöner Kraft. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Alto Adige Chardonnay Somereto is a true charmer. The wine delivers some of the mild creaminess and textural smoothness that comes naturally to Chardonnay (outside any oak regime), and that pretty, mid-weight fruitiness is especially compelling in this vintage. Somereto is refreshingly crisp, mineral driven and fruity. Simple winemaking is completed in stainless steel with a brief six months of lees contact. Indeed, this is a beautifully naked expression of the grape, from calcareous, reddish clay soils and a cool climate at 260 to 380 meters above sea level. The finish is citrusy, acidic and fresh. You get tremendous value here." Robert Parker

"A fruity, straight-up chardonnay with sliced cooked apples, burnt lemon sand hints of pie crust on the nose and palate. Medium to full body. Some smokiness on the finish." James Suckling

Klassischer Weißburgunder mit dem Duft reifer Äpfel und Birnen. Eleganter, ausgewogener, harmonischer Geschmack. Finado ist kein bisschen verspielt oder gar einfach gestrickt, sondern wirkt sehr erlesen. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Finado opens to a luminous, light straw color that reflects the ambient light. This vintage shows zesty and very balanced results with pear, Golden Delicious apple, crushed limestone and a touch of spicy saffron. These aromas are characteristic of dolomitic calcareous soils. Winemaking is simple in stainless steel, with a brief sur lie aging of six months. The wine sports a crisp, lean-bodied mouthfeel, but there is enough acidity and mineral-driven linearity to drive the wine long over the palate." Robert Parker

"Pure aromas of ripe red apples with some cream undertones. Medium to full body and round, creamy texture. Plenty of fruit and a delicious finish. All there and delicious." James Suckling

Poggio Argentato ist ein sehr schön balancierter Weißer mit französischem Einschlag. In der Nase ein vielschichtiges Bouquet mit feiner Kräuternote. Am Gaumen kräftig, frisch, elegant und von einer mineralischen Säure getragen, Zitrustöne im Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

"Plenty of cooked limes and pears with a creamy texture and tangy fruit at the end. Always a delicious white." James Suckling

"This is a Tuscan white wine with a huge following, and deservedly so. The Fattoria le Pupille 2019 Poggio Argentato is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Traminer and Semillon. The wine broaches a mid-weight texture, showing some creamy density and waxiness, but it ultimately pulls back to a lean-bodied approach that is pushed forward by the wine's bright and snappy acidity. It delivers aromas of orchard fruit, tangerine skin, sweet almond and poached pear. It has the 360-degree latitude to pair with vegetarian dishes, fish or white meat." Robert Parker
