Terlano “Gries” Lagrein Alto Adige DOC Riserva 2021 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Terlano The alluvial soils that cover the Bolzano district of Gries have always been an ideal location for growing Lagrein. This is attested to by written sources dating as far back as 1379. One fine example is this red wine from the Cantina di Terlano, made from grapes that are harvested by hand and quickly brought to the winery for careful vinification. After alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is transferred to wooden barrels for the delicate finishing stages. Here it remains for no less than a year, during which it also undergoes what is known as malolactic fermentation. Part of the wine rests in large wooden barrels, and part in barriques, about a third of which are new. Ruby red with garnet highlights and a delicate violet veil, this Gries has a particularly intriguing bouquet, with earthy and mineral notes that combine well with the fruity aromas, especially black cherry, plum jam and bitter chocolate. In the mouth, these fruity and spicy notes recur, resulting in a full, articulate and complex wine.
