90 - GEWURZTRAMINER DOC 2015

The 2015 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Vom Lehm is true to the grape with fragrant layers of white flower, musky honeysuckle, preserved lemon and dried mountain herb. This white wine flaunts its big intensity and its opulent bouquet with charming confidence.

93 - PINOT NERO BURGUM NOVUM RISERVA 2016

Fragile and light on its feet, the 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riserva Burgum Novum takes this celebrated label up to the next level. The wine is enormously fragrant and fresh, with a full delivery of wild berry fruits, violets, peach and candied orange peel. The wine is compact and super streamlined, but its dense and tightly knit fiber gives it special momentum, power and persistence. It ages in barrique for 18 months. This is a great pairing for duck in orange sauce. Some 14,000 bottles were produced. 93

91 - PINOT NERO BURGUM NOVUM RISERVA 2016

Crushed tomato vine, tropical fruit and toasted nut aromas lead the nose. The linear palate is a bit more subdued, offering mature grapefruit, dried apricot, grilled herbs and tangy minerality before a hazelnut finish.

90 - RAIF SAUVIGNON VIGNETI DELLE DOLOMITI IGT 2017

Intense varietal aromas of tropical fruit, tomato vine, aromatic herb and citrus jump out of the glass. Reflecting the nose, the expressive, mouthwatering palate doles out juicy grapefruit, honeydew melon and grilled sage alongside tangy acidity.
