This is one of the nicest Lagreins on the market today, and the warm conditions of the 2017 vintage make it that much more enjoyable and accessible. The 2017 Alto Adige Lagrein Gries Riserva Berger Gei shows thickness and dark concentration with dark plummy fruit and plenty of mature blackberry and summer cherry. The wine is inky and thick with a supple entry to the palate. It offers a contained 14% alcohol content. About 7,000 bottles were released.
