LAGREIN RISERVA 2017
NUSSERHOF (HEINRICH MAYR)
BOLZANO, IT
$85 +HST
100% Lagrein. Nusserhof makes three different Lagreins, this Riserva bottling being the main one, from this 600-year-old native variety. The vines range from 20 to 90 years old and are wire-trained in Guyot and Casarsa; they are farmed organically and harvested by hand. Heinrich’s Riservas are made with an idea to preserve the full-bodied, freshly aromatic woodland berry character of the grape. The Lagrein is destemmed, fermented with native yeasts and macerated for four weeks. The wine is aged in French oak botti for two years, followed by at least two years in bottle before release (far exceeding the DOC requirement of a minimum of 3 years' aging for riserva wines). It is a deliciously round wine that is served well by decanting for aeration and is capable of long aging.
