The 2006 Cabernet Lagrein is a big, full-bodied offering bursting with dark fruit, herbs, cassis and spices. This generous, plump wine possesses excellent persistence on the palate and a long, sweet finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
This Alto Adige estate is part of the Loacker family’s holdings that also includes properties in Maremma and Montalcino. I only tasted two wines, but they were both delicious.
