Waldgries Ansitz Lagrein Südtirol DOC 2021

100% Lagrein, fermentation in barrique with extended maceration up to 35 days. Deep and inky. Wild and muscular with stunning elegance. Dark plums, wild berries, dark cherry, charred blubbery and a peppery minty lift. There is a ferrous iodine character rounded by cocoa nibs and freshly roasted coffee beans on a densely flavoured and juicy palate. Lots of blue fruits and violets. Well rounded all the way to the edges with pleasantly bitter cherry pith tannins and a lingering amaro finish. Great cool climate Syrah alternative with an Italian charm for the curious!
