Alto Adige Lagrein Cornell 2001
Alto Adige (Alto Adige)
This Lagrein shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and blueberry
followed by aromas of vanilla, dried violet, blackberry, black currant,
licorice, cocoa, menthol and white pepper. In the mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing
crispness, however well balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors,
good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum
and blueberry. A well made wine. This Lagrein ages for 16 months in
barrique.
