Wines Mentioned
Erste+Neue
2019 Kalterersee Classico Superiore
Lago di Caldaro | Trentino-Alto Adige
Glides over the palate, smooth and harmonious. Aftertaste low in tannins.
Elena Walch
2019 Pinot Grigio Vigna "Castel Ringberg"
Alto Adige | Trentino-Alto Adige
Structure and elegance, power and harmony dominate the palate, combined with creamy fullness and density. A single vineyard Pinot Grigio with a lot of character!
Cantina Tramin
2019 NUSSBAUMER Gewürztraminer
Alto Adige | Trentino-Alto Adige
Nussbaumer is Italy’s most awarded Gewürztraminer. A wine where the elegance and spicy aromatics of this ancient variety find their maximum expression.
Deep aroma, rich in body and extract, but with a fine, spicy juiciness and salty minerality that becomes more and more apparent with age; Almost infinitely long in the finish.
Cantina Terlano
2017 Gries Lagrein Riserva
Alto Adige | Trentino-Alto Adige
The alluvial soils in the Bolzano suburb of Gries are ideal for the indigenous red Lagrein wine, which is mentioned in a historical document dated 1379. Our Lagrein Gries is impressive for its fruity berry aromas as well as for its noble spicy notes and juicy balanced body.
These spicy and yet velvety fruit notes also intrigue the palate, where this Lagrein Riserva presents itself with multilayered opulence and great complexity.
