The 2013 Alto Adige Lagrein opens to a deep, dark and inky color. That concentrated appearance is one of the most distinctive qualities found in the Lagrein grape. The bouquet is a bit edgy and sharp with bitter berry and wild blueberry followed by moist earth and tobacco. It also shows a noticeable level of acidity followed by smooth and silky tannins. That inherent freshness helps this wine to stand out in a crowd. The finish reveals offbeat charm and interesting rusticity.
