Gries Lagrein Riserva Alto Adige DOC

- Description :
  The Gries vineyard rests in the Dolomites near Bolzano at an altitude of 850 feet ASL where the soil is light and drains easily. After the temperature-controlled fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak casks (70%) and barriques (30%).

  Tasting notes :
  Light red-tinged mahogany with violet highlights, Gries has an intense aroma of bitter chocolate and cherries. Full-bodied with silky tannins, it coats the mouth with sultry layers of crème caramel, blackberry and pipe tobacco. The finish lingers with leather and spice. Pair with barbecue or try with ginger-roasted pork loin with fennel and dried fruit.
