Nusserhof "Riserva" 2019 Lagrein Südtirol

750ml bottle

12% abv

Darkly floral and delicate. Peppery herbs, wild berries, and rose petals on the nose. Elegant, smooth, and supple palate of mineral-tinged red berries & sour citrus. Ripe tannins and minerality precede an enticing, slightly bitter finish.

100% certified organic Lagrein, hand harvested from vines ranging from 20 to 90 years old, trained on wires in both guyot and the local casarsa style. 

The grapes are destemmed, fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and with a 4-week maceration in stainless steel.

The wine is aged in French oak botti for 2 years, followed by at least 2 more two years in bottle (far exceeding the DOC Südtirol Lagrein requirement of 3 years' aging for riserva status).

A small amount of sulfur is added after fermentation and at bottling only.
