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)

"A terrific value buy, the 2017 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Finado covers the palate with smooth and silky intensity. The wine imparts peach flavors with mild pear and sweet apple. Those fruity notes are contained by elegant mineral tones that recall crushed stone or oystershell. This wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly on the lees for six months." Robert Parker

"A charming white, featuring spice and citrus accents and ripe nectarine and stony mineral notes. Light-bodied and creamy, with a waft of almond blossom on the fresh finish." Wine Spectator

Hell rubinviolett, duftet fruchtig und blumig mit der charakteristischen Mandelnote. Am Gaumen weinig, frisch und harmonisch mit angenehm eingebundener Säure. (superiore.de)

"A light and easy red with plum and tile character. Medium body, light tannins and a delicious finish." James Suckling

Äußerst delikater Sauvignon Blanc: Fruchtiges Bouquet mit Nuancen von Holunderblüte, Stachelbeere und tropischen Früchten. Dichter, strukturierter Geschmack mit feiner Säure, lang. (superiore.de)

"The 2017 Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc Floreado is aromatic and bright, but not in a sharp or pungent way. This wine stays true to the variety with pretty layers of passion fruit, grapefruit and lemon. It is acidic and tart with a highly refreshing mouthfeel. Pair this pretty wine with Thai vegetable rolls. It offers excellent value and should be easy to find with some 60,000 bottles produced." Robert Parker

Intensives und klares Bouquet, würzig und nach Rosen duftend. Am Gaumen schöne satte und aromatische Frucht, aber auch funkelnde Säure, die dem Wein Spannung verleiht. (superiore.de)

Feiner Pinot Noir, der zart nach Erdbeeren und Dörrobst duftet. Geschmeidiger Geschmack mit lebendiger Säurestruktur, harmonisch. Ein eleganter Einstiegswein für künftige Pinot Nero-Liebhaber. (superiore.de)

Sauvignon Andrius reift sechs Monate auf der Hefe und ist ein lebendiger, gut strukturierter Weißer. Reife Pfirsiche, getrocknete Aprikosen, saftige Honigmelone, kandierte Mandeln, Blumen und ein Hauch Minze ergeben zusammen mit dem eleganten Stil ein bemerkenswertes Gesamtbild. Große Klasse! (superiore.de)

"Pale straw. White peach, apple, pear and fresh citrus fruit on the enticing nose. Then large and broad, with suave stone fruit and herbs dominating on the smoothly textured mouthfeel. Finishes long and juicy, with mineral elements. A very pretty wine." Ian d'Agata

"The 2016 Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc Andrius is a spectacular wine that takes that characteristic intensity of the grape and pushes the boundaries even further. The bouquet is layered and rich with tropical and passion fruits, all followed by tangy citrus and lemon mousse. As the wine warms in the glass, it shows round notes of sweet honey, saffron and toasted almond. Some 6,000 bottles of Andrius were made in this vintage." Robert Parker

Eleganter, klarer Duft naxh reifen, gelben Früchten, kraftvoll am Gaumen mit viel Substanz und mit reinen, verspielten Aromen. Gewürztraminer Movado - herrlich lang und im Gleichgewicht. (superiore.de)

"The 2015 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Movado is redolent of honey, candied fruit, dried apricot and figs. The wine's aromatic intensity hits the nose with precision and determination. The effect is broad and forceful in terms of mouthfeel. This is an almost dry expression with a hint of sweet fruity softness that shapes a round and succulent personality. If you like this aromatic grape variety, this all-Italian interpretation is well worth your time." Robert Parker

Tiefgründige Merlot Riserva mit vielschichtigem Bouquet, das an getrocknete Früchte, Waldhimbeeren, Brombeeren und Tabak erinnert. Am Gaumen sehr dichte Frucht, kräftiger Körper und geschliffenes Tannin. Gutes Reifepotenzial. (superiore.de)

"The 2015 Alto Adige Merlot Riserva Gant is a wine of enormous beauty and depth. It opens to dark, succulent and enriched layers of dark cherry, blackcurrant, spice, savory tobacco and leather. The wine rises from the glass with beautiful intensity and proud, immediate aromas that wrap thickly over the senses. The wine's characteristic softness —that pure essence of Merlot, for lack of a better term—is stunning and delicious. This wine should hold steady over the next 10 years." Robert Parker

Kräftige, dunkle Lagrein Riserva, duftet intensiv nach Bitterschokolade, Sauerkirschen und Waldfrüchten. Samtiger, kontinuierlicher Geschmack, gut strukturiert, saftig, im Finale feine Tabaknote. (superiore.de)

"My favorite Lagrein pairings include my family's roast whole chicken recipe with potatoes and onions. This native grape from Northern Italy is especially well matched to the bold, simple and genuine flavors of home cooking. Cantina Andriano has created an excellent expression in this warm vintage. The 2015 Alto Adige Lagrein Riserva Tor di Lupo is one of the best Lagrein-based wines on the market today. Dark cherry and black fruit rise with seamless and broad-reaching intensity. The tannins are soft and sweet. The wine fans far and wide over the palate." Robert Parker

"Fully saturated inky-ruby. Deep, austere aromas and flavors of black cherry and cassis, complemented by flint, coffee, herbs, tar and licorice. This is still very young and promises a long and slow development in the bottle, though it’s so delicious it’s hard not to guzzle down right now. For all its power, this knockout Lagrein is a remarkably refined wine." Ian d'Agata

Andrians Schmuckstück Juvelo stammt von Kalkschotterboden, der mit kantigem weißen Dolomitgestein durchsetzt ist. Die Lese findet meist erst im November statt, wenn fast 100% der Trauben von Botrytis (Edelfäule) befallen sind. (superiore.de)

"Sattes, funkelndes Goldgelb. Klar gezeichnete, intensive Nase, zeigt Noten nach getrockneter Marille, Quitte, im Hintergrund nach Himbeere und Bienenwachs. Ausgewogen und klar in Ansatz und Verlauf, sehr präzise, zeigt Noten nach Marille auch am Gaumen, etwas Quitte, im Finale sehr lange." Falstaff

"Bright golden-tinged yellow. Apricot, peach, honey and sweet spices on the enticing nose. Very pure and varietally accurate in the mouth with flavors similar to the aromas. The 2015 Gewürztraminer Passito Juvelo strikes me as being a little less concentrated and thick than some other past vintages, but this is lively, graceful and very precise. A very pretty sweet wine." Ian d'Agata

"The 2015 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Passito Juvelo (375 ml) opens to a light golden color and pretty luminosity. This is a sticky and succulent dessert wine with honeycomb, candied fruit and sun-dried apricot. The sugar content is pronounced, yet the wine is not cloying thanks to the bright acidity that pops up on the rear. This would be a nice companion to dried biscuits or apple tart. Some 90% of the grapes have been affected by noble rot." Robert Parker

Mit Eleganz und Charakter verführt der lebendige, lange Pinot Nero Anrar Riserva. Dunkle granatrote Farbe und duftende Aromen von Wildkirsche, reifer Himbeere, Lavendel und getrocknete Kräuter. Am Gaumen eine feste, aber überaus seidige Textur und trotz der jugendlichen Frische schon viel Kraft und Ausdauer. (superiore.de)

"The 2013 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Anrar is a very distinctive wine that most certainly deserves attention. The approach adopted here is meatier and more concentrated than most. The wine exhibits a saturated ruby color and a bouquet that is both articulate and generous. There are evident tones of dark fruit and forest bramble, but you also get pretty notes of nutmeg and cinnamon at the back. It is aged in new barrique. The wine offers profound depth and richness on the long finish." Robert Parker
