HP Harrer: Ton, Steine, Reben - Blaufränkisch 2017
Wein
- €29,90
HP Harrer's small winery in Neusiedl and Silvio Messana's Azienda Montesecondo in San Casciano may be a good 1000 kilometres of motorway and a national border apart, but otherwise there are a lot of parallels. Both have been cultivating their vineyards biodynamically for many years and both have ...
Rocco di Carpeneto: Reitemp 2016
Wein
- €19,90
The top Barbera from Rocco di Carpeneto: it combines all the positive attributes that one would expect from this grape variety: precise aromas, a truly lively acidity, vitality, substance and density and an earthy, rustic undertone. The vines, planted in 1955, are all rooted in the clay and loam-...
Davide Spillare: Rosso Giaroni 2020
Wein
- €19,90
Merlot. Purely varietal, too. We understand that there are people who simply click on to the next wine. And we don't want to be missionaries and take up the cudgels in favour of Merlot, it's just that Davide Spillare makes a truly fantastic wine from it. We do not know whether this is due to the ...
SRC Alberello 2018
Wein
- €44,80
Rori Parasiliti's old Nerello-Mascalese-vines, trained as Alberello, grow on a one-hectare plot in the Contrada (vineyard) Crasà on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. They provide him with grapes that have substance and depth, which he transforms into a radiant and subtle wine that can definitely...
Jörg Bretz: Blauburgunder 2009
Wein
- €32,80
Vintages are always a big topic in the wine world. We agree that they are not entirely unimportant, but we do not share the hype about them and are rather sceptical about the views on what is really great and what is rather lousy. Firstly because we can remember massive errors in judgement since ...
Colombera & Garella: Lessona 2020
Wein
- €34,90
With just 18 hectares of vineyards, Lessona is the smallest of the three DOC zones in which the Colomberas own vineyards. Despite its microscopic dimensions, Lessona has a few special features that set it apart from the other two regions. Firstly, there is the climate, which in some exposures tak...

Wein
- €16,80
Carlo Venturini and Alessandra Zantadeschi from Monte dall'Ora cover the entire spectrum of wine styles in Valpolicella.

Raina: Montefalco Sagrantino Docg "Campo di Raina" 2017
Wein
- €27,90
In the introduction to her book Natural Wine, which is well worth reading, Alice Feiring describes the difficulties of her first attempts at vinification: Little seems clear, with the exception of the choice of grape variety - unusually for an American, she was determined to make her debut with S...
Massa Vecchia: La Querciola 2014
Wein
- €48,80
With the location of La Querciola (small oak), everything started on Massa Vecchia, everything from Francesca Sfondrini, who has long since rose to cult status. Located in the Colline Metallifere striking shadow in the Alta Maremma, her parents, Fabrizio Niccolaini and Patrizia Bartolini, there i...
Pranzegg: Laurenc 2018
Wein
- €28,90
The Laurenc is the answer to the Caroline, the brother to the sister. In terms of grape varieties, Laurenc is quite simply Lagrein. However, nothing is really simple with Lagrein. Especially not in the vineyard, where it produces very irregular yields due to recurring fertility problems. This is ...
CA 'de Noci: Gheppio 2014
Wein
- €24,90
The intimate relationship between the Italian wine world and birds of all kinds would be worth an article. There are wineries that are named after birds (Aquila del Torre, Colomba ...), also a good dozen grape varieties (Corvina, Oseleta, Rondinella, Corvinone, Ucelut ...) and of course a few win...
Daniele Ricci: El Matt 2019
Wein
- €13,90
Croatina is a Piedmontese-Lombardy grape variety that can basically provide the basis for excellent red wines and should be recommended to every wine drinker. The only problem is that you often don't know whether Croatina is really inside where it says Croatina on the label (Daniele Ricci's El Ma...
Pruneto, Chianti Classico 2020
Wein
- €17,80
A Chianti Classico with character. This is due without exception to the Sangiovese. Riccardo and Massimiliano Lanza have given the Merlot, which once accompanied it, its own bottling, so that the great red grape variety of Tuscany has its own special place. Grown on a limestone-rich south-easte...
40/40 Otro Andar Malbec 2019
Wein
- €19,90
Malbec is one of the few grape varieties that enjoys a better reputation in a new location - in its case Argentina - than in its actual homeland (Bordeaux). The reason for this has less to do with its quality and more to do with the fact that it did not survive the freezing cold French spring of ...
