Cantina Terlan Lagrein Riserva Porphyr DOC 2020 750ml

Attractive aromas of ripe bramble berries and wild berries with some toasted walnuts and smoked spices, dried orange peel and crushed violets. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and lengthy yet very fine and even across the palate. Tannins are so transparent and integrated with pure fruit blooming on the mid-palate. A little bit fluid at the end. Delicious as always. Drink or hold.

Lagrein

Lagrein, a native red grape of the Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy, embodies the alpine terroir with its robust character and distinctive flavors. Often found in blends or as a varietal wine, Lagrein grapes thrive in the region’s cool climate and high-altitude vineyards.

Lagrein wines are known for their deep color, intense fruitiness, and bold tannins. They typically exhibit flavors of dark berries, black cherry, plum, and sometimes hints of chocolate and spice. With its full-bodied nature and pronounced acidity, Lagrein pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes and rich cheeses.

Despite its relatively low profile on the international wine scene, Lagrein has gained recognition among enthusiasts for its unique expression of Alpine viticulture, offering a captivating taste of Italy’s northern landscapes.
