2009 Alto Adige Lagrein

The Meran Festival is a captivating Lagrein from the esteemed Alto Adige region, showcasing the depth and character this varietal can achieve. This red wine presents a deep garnet hue that invites exploration. The aroma is a delightful tapestry of dark fruit, particularly black cherry and plum, intertwined with hints of spice and earthiness, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. On the palate, this medium-bodied red is supported by vibrant acidity, enhancing its freshness and making it incredibly food-friendly. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. Its dryness allows for a pleasurable finish, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and subtle spice. This vintage truly reflects the unique terroir of Alto Adige, making it a fantastic choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.

Italy
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.
