Rosso IGT 448 slm - Girlan 2024

The Girlan IGT 448 slm Red Wine is an intriguing blend of native and international varieties, reflecting the uniqueness of the South Tyrolean terroir. Produced by the renowned Girlan winery, located in the heart of South Tyrol's wine-growing region, this wine is a tribute to the specific altitude of 448 meters above sea level, which is reflected in its name.

The IGT 448 slm is composed of a careful mix of Schiava, Pinot Nero, and Lagrein grapes, which together provide this wine with a balanced structure and a distinctive character. In the glass, the 448 slm Red shows a lively and bright ruby red color, which immediately invites tasting. The nose reveals fruity aromas of cherry and raspberry with subtle hints of sweet spices and a touch of aromatic herbs, typical of the South Tyrolean terroir.

On the palate, the wine offers fresh acidity and soft tannins, well integrated with the fruit. Its elegance and pleasant taste persistence make it particularly versatile at the table, suitable to accompany a variety of dishes, from red meat to moderately aged cheeses.

The winemaking process follows traditional methods but also incorporates modern winemaking techniques to ensure that each bottle best expresses the potential of the grapes used. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit, followed by a short maturation period in wooden barrels to add complexity without overwhelming the varietal notes.

The Girlan IGT 448 slm Red Wine is an authentic and vibrant expression of a territory rich in wine history, capable of surprising and satisfying the most demanding palates.
