Cesconi
Pletter Lagrein
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Deep purple in color with a short purple/ reddish rim. Not showing its age.
On the nose black currants, black plums, cherries, light oak, licorice, barnyard, bitter herbs, spices, dark coffee, earth and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, blueberries, raspberries, light wood, earth, river rocks, coffee, tobacco leaf, bitter vegetables, spices, light herbs and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice Italian red from Italy. Rich and extracted with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Tannins show up after an hour.
This 5 year old is still young, and needs another 5 years in the bottle to mature properly.
A good food wine that I paired with cheeses and olives. Paired nicely with French Camembert.
100% Lagrein grapes were aged for 12 months in neutral oak barrels. Certified Organic.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$35.
