A blend of 35% Lagrein, 40% Merlot and 25% Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, the Manincor 2017 Réserve del Conte opens to dark, ripe and savory notes with spicy tobacco, leather and potting soil. The fruit comes together in a portrait of darkness and opulence, and although you can't make out any one specific variety, you do definitely feel the smooth softness of the Lagrein and Merlot grapes. The wine is aged in barrel made with wood culled from nearby forests in the Dolomites. The Réserve del Conte is layered, soft and rich, making it the perfect pairing partner to spicy spareribs. About 80,000 bottles were produced.
