Heinrich Mayr (Nusserhof)
Riserva Südtirol Lagrein
Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Dead. Leaden. Like a bad house wine at a mid Italian restaurant. First experience having this variety with age, and not a success.

The 2013 Lagrein Riserva is a pleasure to taste, and it’s sure to win a lot of fans. Crushed ripe cherry, sweet spice, hints of white pepper, sage, mint and floral undergrowth all evolve in the glass. It’s cool-toned and juicy, with textures and body that will remind you more of Pinot than Lagrein. Energy builds, as zesty acids enliven its mineral-tinged wild berry fruit, while a subtle tug of gentle tannin resonates. This is a remarkably pretty wine that will win you over for its feminine grace over power. (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2020)

The palate reveals a hint of natural winemaking but the aroma betrays none. It breathes restraint and refinement and has attained complete harmony and unity.
