Cornell

2001 Alto Adige Lagrein

The Colterenzio Cornell is a captivating red wine from the esteemed Alto Adige region, showcasing the intriguing Lagrein varietal. This vintage from 2001 displays a deep, ruby color that entices the eye as much as it pleases the palate. On the nose, it reveals a harmonious blend of dark berry fruits, hints of chocolate, and subtle spice, demonstrating a prominent fruit intensity that invites exploration. The wine is medium-bodied with a balance of refreshing acidity that enlivens each sip, while the tannins provide a notable structure without being overwhelming. This Lagrein is elegantly dry, making it an excellent pairing for hearty dishes or an indulgent evening on its own, capturing the essence of its mountainous terroir.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
