Wines without added Sulpites
The main reasons why sulphur dioxide is added to wine can be summarised in three points: Firstly, SO₂ provides protection against unwanted oxidation, secondly, it stabilises the lively microbiological life in the wine and, last but not least, it prevents the spread of odours that can arise during fermentation.
There are also many reasons why some winemakers still only use SO₂ in microscopic quantities - and it makes a huge difference whether a wine contains 12, 20, 50 or, still permitted, 150 mg/l - or do without it completely. Beyond - quite justified - ideological reasons, many are concerned with increasing the "digestibility" of their wines and emphasising the idea of origin. In addition, in our opinion, minimally sulphurised or unsulphurised wines are almost always more open, accessible and vital than more heavily sulphurised wines.
Ca 'de Noci: Le Rose 2020
Wein
- €28,90
There are white grape varieties that are best suited to classic vinification (Riesling, Sylvaner, Vernaccia, Pecorino...). Others do well both macerated and immediately pressed (Ribolla gialla, Vermentino, Timorasso, Nosiola, Fiano, Garganega...) and then there are those that only show their true...
Vinos Autenticos/Barranco Oscuro: La Traviesa Tinto 2021
Wein
- €12,80
The La Traviesa Tinto goes onto the cap of Vinos Autenticos, a Spanish wine dealer who has the wines in the program that we also had, we would primarily act with Spanish or French wines. So it is actually a dealer wine, with that only a third of the truth. The second third are winegrowers from th...
Čotar ČRNO 2018
Wein
- €28,90
Teran is one of those grape varieties that you should think in the local context and with the culinary tradition of Istria: with Prosciutto and Goulash, Jota (the stew) and Musetto (the cooking sausage), with the Osmiza (this year), the bora (the wind ) and winter in the karst. In itself, Teran ...
Ca 'de Noci: Querciole 2021
Wein
- €20,90
Querciole is a frizzante made from Spergola that makes almost everything that comes from Prosecco look old and rather bland. The intention may be similar, but what Ca' de Noci bottles year after year for secondary fermentation is usually miles ahead of its much more famous frizzante colleagues in...
Aldo Viola: Moretto 2019
Wein
- €21,80
Although Syrah plays a not insignificant role in Moretto, it shares this status equally with Perricone and Nerello mascalese. Thanks to the success story of the wines from Mount Etna, the latter has now become known beyond the borders. Perricone, on the other hand, is hardly known to anyone, whic...
Ca 'de noci: Sottobosco 2021
Wein
- €19,90
"Lambrusco is the fuel of the futurists." (Filippo Tommaso Marinetti) "Lambrusco is the red champagne." (Arrigo Levi) "Lambrusco is the nectar of the gods." (Francesco Guccini) Not everyone may agree with these sentences and perhaps it would be better to put them in the subjunctive, but Lambru...
La Distesa: Nur 2021
Wein
- €24,90
"Nur" means light - in Arabic. Corrado Dottori from La Distesa had a decidedly Mediterranean wine in mind when he conceived Nur. A wine with roots that go back a long way, without added sulphites. The vineyards for this are located in San Michele, the Grand Cru of Cupramontana. The subsoil is ba...
Barranco Oscuro: 1368 - Cerro Las Monjas 2008
Wein
- €32,80
In the Cerro Las Monjas vineyard of Barranco Oscuro in the Alpujarras - the southern part of the Sierra Nevada - Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grow on a few hectares of vines. Despite the altitude, the vines produce perfectly ripe grapes every year, which is hardl...
Davide Spillare: Vecchie Vigne 2020
Wein
- €29,90
The quintessence of Davide's endeavours. The grapes for the Rugoli Vecchie Vigne come from a vineyard where Garganega vines have been rooted for over 60 years. The vines are as thick as tree trunks, deeply anchored in volcanic basalt and fairly resistant to potential fungal diseases. Small, full...
Denavolo: Dinavolino 2020
Wein
- €19,90
Dinavolino is the little brother of Dinavolo, the great orange-coloured monument from Val Trebbia near Piacenza. The vines for this wine are rooted at the foot of the Denavolo, a steep mountain slope that rises from 400 to 700 metres and is mainly based on limestone. The fundamental difference be...
Schmelzer: Grüner Veltliner 2022
Wein
- €15,40
Grüner Veltliner is not a monopoly variety of Lower Austria. In fact, it never has been. There are dozens of proofs to the contrary and Georg Schmelzer's interpretation of the grape variety is one of them. Unlike what we are used to, it does not grow on primary rock and not even on limestone, bu...
Aldo Viola Egesta 2017
Wein
- €29,80
Egesta is one of the most original and best white wines in Sicily. It is made from 100% white Grillo, a variety that is associated with Sicily more than almost any other, but which apparently does not originate from the island. It was probably first planted in Sicily after the phylloxera campaign...
Barranco Oscuro: Cardonohay 2018
Wein
- €19,90
If you are looking for classic Chardonnay, you should keep looking. If, on the other hand, you fancy a little Andalusian avant-garde, you should find what you are looking for. The Cardonohay is full-bodied, dense, mineral and even accompanied by a little fruit and is definitely reminiscent of C...
Barranco Oscuro: Ensayo de Burbujas Brut Nature 2016
Wein
- €24,90
For centuries, Vigiriega was one of the most important white grape varieties in the south of Spain. It was at home on the Canary Islands and in the area around Granada, but then phylloxera came and killed it off - for good. The fact that it exists again today is due in part to Manuel Valenzuela,...
Čotar: ČRNA 2016
Wein
- €32,90
The ČRNA is a foam wine made of teran, which is produced according to the mèthode, and an authentic representation of the properties inherent in it. So there is no shortage of acidity and tannin, nor. Even if Father & Son Čotar orientate themselves from the champagne when it comes to the wine gro...
