The 2015 Alto Adige Lagrein Gries Riserva Berger Gei is a dark and savory expression with medium to full-bodied appeal. The wine is ultimately thicker and more concentred in terms of its aromatic intensity than it is in terms of mouthfeel intensity. This is absolutely characteristic of the Lagrein grape that tends to be powerful in terms of its fruit offerings but moderate in terms of tannic structure. These qualities give the wine an accessible, near or medium-term approach that would work well with soft meat dishes such as spicy pork or Peking Duck. Some 6,000 bottles were made.
