The Lagrein Riserva Fallwind Alto Adige DOC from St. Michael Eppan shows a recognizable, restrained aromatic profile. On the nose there are dark berry fruits, cherry notes and spicy hints, with a subtle earthy undertone; the approach is concentrated but controlled, with a present and well-integrated tannic structure. Acidity supports the structure without being aggressive, while the finish tends to be persistent. The balance of power and elegance makes it suitable for those seeking a decisive but not overpowering character.

It pairs effectively with braised meats, roasts and medium-aged cheeses, but can also accompany more savory, structured preparations. Serving at a moderate temperature is advisable to highlight aromas and tannins; a short decanting before opening can enhance expressiveness. For those who prefer to wait for its development, it shows capacity to age for several years, provided storage conditions are appropriate.
