Very popular - currently out of stock.
This Lagrein Turmhof from Tiefenbrunner Winery comes from hillside vineyards in Entiklar and Cortaccia at elevations between 220 and 350 meters above sea level. The vines grow on calcareous gravel soils of glacial moraine origin, giving this indigenous South Tyrolean red wine structure, freshness and expression.
In the glass, it shows a deep garnet-red color with violet reflections. Its bouquet recalls violets and cherries, subtly supported by a full, rounded fruit character. After maceration and fermentation in concrete tanks, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in small oak barrels, where it matures on the fine lees for 10 months. It then receives a further six months of bottle aging. On the palate, fine-grained tannins, pleasant acidity and a long, harmonious finish come together beautifully.
