Descrizione

The Lagrein Riserva Alto Adige DOC Bos Taurus by Niklas is made from native Lagrein grapes grown in the sunny and breezy vineyards of Alto Adige, a land renowned for producing structured and harmonious wines. This wine stands out for its careful and prolonged aging, often in wooden barrels, which enhances its complexity and aromatic depth. The intense ruby color anticipates a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched with elegant spicy and licorice notes. On the palate, it is enveloping, with soft and well-integrated tannins, supported by a pleasant mineral freshness. A perfect combination of power and finesse, capable of vigorously expressing the character of the grape variety and the territory. Ideal paired with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this Lagrein strongly tells the authentic identity of Alto Adige.
