Regent is a Piwi, a fungus-resistant grape variety, and the red complement to the orange-coloured Ambra made from Souvignier Gris.
The vines grow virtually untreated on soils characterised by gneiss and granite on a steep slope near Naturno in the northern Adige Valley. The grapes are harvested ...
Even though all wines at Rocco di Carpeneto receive similar attention, the STEIRA, Piedmontese for star, shines brightest in the young winery's Dolcetto sky. The grapes for this come from the Vigneto Rocco, planted in 1970; the yields are low, but the quality is all the higher. The early-ripening...
The two Teroldego Morei and Sgarzon are the fruits of years of biodynamic vineyard work in two individual vineyards that are particularly suitable for this grape variety. Elisabetta Foradori also spent years working with the Spanish Tinajas before bottling the wines vinified in them. It is not th...
Vasche, to which Luca Virgilio's Montepulciano pays tribute, are ancient basins that were carved into the rocks around Pietranico thousands of years ago to crush grapes with feet. Although Luca does not do this, he is aware of the long history of viticulture around his winery, which was complete...
The Rosso della Gobba from Francesco Mariani combines Sagrantino, Sangiovese and Montepulciano, the three great red grape varieties of central Italy, to produce a pleasant, inviting red table wine.
Francesco favours finesse and elegance over substance in the Rosso della Gobba. As always, the wo...
The Rét originates from Alexander Koppitsch's Easy-Drinking-Series, which Koppitsch aficionados still remember under the name "authentic wines". Rét is Hungarian and means grassland, which in turn is a reference to the fact that cattle used to graze where Zweigelt and St. Laurent grow today.
The...
Viticulture also has to do with responsibility. This applies equally to winegrowers and consumers. The fact that, for example, 60% or, in other figures, 90000000 kilos of continental fungicides are used on Europe's vineyards, even though only 5% of agricultural land is planted with vines, should ...

Monte Dall'ora: Valpolicella Classico Superiore Camporenzo 2018
Wein
€24,90
Camporenzo has been one of our favourite wines from Valpolicella for many years. It comes from the chalky vineyard of the same name above San Pietro in Cariano. Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, the three most important grape varieties in the region, are cultivated in the classic pergola verone...
The most traditional of all Argentinian cuvées. Malbec is the much better known part of it: The variety originally comes from Bordeaux, where it is now only found sporadically due to its sensitivity to climatic caprices. It is bottled somewhat more frequently in neighbouring Cahors. However, its ...

Cuvée made from Nerello Mascalese (80%) and Grenache (20%). The first grape variety is obvious, the second comes as something of a surprise. Grenache can be found in many Italian wine-growing regions, but hardly ever under its original name: In Sardinia it is called Cannonau (and is by far the mo...
Whether Blaufränkisch in Austria or Lemberger in Germany: the grape variety, which probably originated in the area of Lemberg pri Šmarju in the former Lower Styria in what is now Slovenia, has enormous potential and is also a big hit in Württemberg. The calcareous soils there favour the grape var...
The upper part of the Lange Ohn vineyard in Neusiedl provides the chalky base for HP Harrer's Blaufränkisch, which is characterised by cool westerly winds. The rest is made up of small, healthy berries and a precise winemaker's signature, which can be roughly summarised under the keywords: biodyn...
