Popped and poured at a restaurant. Excited about my first foray with Lagrein varietal from Alto Adige !
Approachable now and improved with air over a couple of hours. Mid-weight and very agile red that can be enjoyed with meat or more substantial seafood. Dark red fruit with pleasing minerally component. Hints of game and violets on the nose. Enough angularity to keep things interesting. Not overly tannic. Small vanilla influence that speaks to barrique aging, but not overly obtrusive. Quite an enjoyable wine.
