Luminous, rich ruby red in color. Aromas of morello cherries, raspberries, violets and vanilla. Fresh and fruity on the palate with juicy delicate tannins. - Lagrein is sort of the Dolcetto of Alto Adige, the bold but flexible everyday red that pairs perfectly with cheese, sausage and savory main courses. This one's a beauty, ripe and dark and loaded with earthy cherry and plum fruit and bitter chocolate notes. The texture is generous and round- making it a nice sipper - but bright acidity and fine tannins let it shine at table. Delicious and fine value!
- A round and velvety first impression leads to a wonderful bright cherry, raspberry, rose hip and fruit-tea overtone with a soft, smooth finish.
- This wonderful wine is a brilliant straw-yellow color, full of tropical fruit aromas, a hint of oak, and with vanilla and butter rounding off of this expressive nose. Notes of Meyer lemon rind, green apple and fresh almonds blend gracefully with a touch of custard on the lengthy finish. It is full-bodied and balanced on the palate with a long lingering finish echoing ripe fruit.
- This brilliant wine has a nose of pears and golden apples with undertones of flint and roasted hazelnuts. With a fruit dominated pallet, this wine has perfectly balanced acidity and a bright, lingering finish.
- This beautiful light straw-yellow wine is ripe with pear and hazelnut, honeydew melon and a hint vanilla. Caldaro 'Soll' wine is round and smooth on the palate with light undertones of wood on the finish.
- The Pinot grigio is a full-bodied white wine with a straw-yellow hue, a floral nose, and pleasantly smooth character. With a little aging, undertones of nuts and honey develop. Recommendation: This wine pairs perfectly with mushroom dishes, fish and seafood. We also recommend it as an aperitif
- Vinified entirely in stainless steel, "Premstaller" vibrates with freshness, each sip is an ultimate thirst-quencher, a perfect balance of sweet Sauvignon fruit and tangy citrus flavors. This is an electric, firecracker-fresh Sauvignon Blanc. Elderberry and gooseberry aromas lend a fine elegance to this wine's full, voluminous structure.
- A dry white wine with a pale-yellow color; clean, intense aroma and dry flavor with elegant body and a velvety feel on the palate.
- Full, bright ruby, almost black in color, this is an extremely typical Lagrein, very easily recognizable. It is immediately impressive due to the excellent equilibrium between intensity and complexity, between aromas of spice and small woodland berry fruits and violets. Its fragrance is striking, clear, captivating and fresh. Very harmonious on the palate, with assertive but supple tannins, full, broad, velvety, round with subtle spice on the finish enlivened by palate-lifting acidity.
- A superb Pinot Noir, whose concentration is clearly heralded by its dark ruby color. Initially it seems somewhat closed on the nose, but then opens up in the glass to reveal its authentic, noble Pinot Noir origins. The aroma reminiscent of sour cherry and raspberry is enhanced by a delicate hint of vanilla and spice. On the palate it shows excellent harmony with elegant acidity, well-integrated sweet tannins and enormous concentration of aromas.
- The Meczan Pinot Noir is distinguished by its unmistakable varietal character, its distinctive aroma and fruity character, by its bright ruby color with garnet reflexes, and its fresh, stimulating bouquet with seductive hints of woodland berries and cherry. On the palate Meczan is harmonious, sappy and mellow with impressive fruit.
- The Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer is characterized by sumptuous fruit. Deep golden yellow in color with green reflexes, on the nose it is reminiscent of ripe apricot and peach intermingled with exotic fruits such as lychee, mango and passion fruit. The fruit characteristics follow through on the palate; full-bodied, luscious but dry, the opulence cut by vibrant, firm acidity finishing elegant, dry and aromatic.
- Medium-full straw yellow in color, fresh aromas of peach combined with apple and pear on the nose, elegant and zesty on the palate, harmonious in structure, round with masses of finesse and a hint of nut on the finish.
- An extremely elegant wine with impressive structure and a full, complex bouquet, well-balanced on the palate with excellent mouth feel and fruit underpinned by firm, mouth-watering acidity.
- A classic and very expressive Pinot Grigio, bright straw yellow in color with an attractive aroma of citrus fruits, peach, honeydew melon and especially pear; medium rich, fruity, well-structured and direct on the palate with orchard fruit flavors and tangy, fruity acidity on the finish.
