Lagrein Riserva DOC
| Vintage | 2019 |
| Winemaker | Elena Walch |
| Region | South Tyrol |
| Grapes | 100% Lagrein |
Winemaking
Fermentation over roughly 10 days with subsequent acid degradation. The wine matures for 20 months in French barriques, before being bottled and aged for a long time in bottles.
Our tasting note
A deep, dark ruby-red colour characterises the Lagrein Riserva. Complex, fruity-tangy aromas of red berries and plums, dried figs, including some chocolate and a light smoky note. This fantastic grape demonstrates its quality by means of robust tannins and a distinctive, strong structure in connection with smooth, soft richness. A refined interplay between juiciness and bite and a long- lasting finish.

Our tasting note
The Chardonnay Cardellino has an intensive straw-yellow colour. Ripe exotic fruits, some lime-tree blossoms and honey give the wine its complex nose. The Chardonnay is full-bodied and structured, juicy and harmonious with a subtle softness. With a long and elegant finish.

Our tasting note
The Arneis has a subtle, straw-yellow colour and exudes an aroma of exotic fruits, apples and mulberries. Wonderfully fruity on the palate with a fresh, acidic flavour. Hardly any other wine is more suitable as an aperitif and as an introduction to the opulent and delicious Piedmont cuisine.

Alta Langa Brut DOCG
| Vintage | 2019 |
| Winemaker | Deltetto |
| Region | Piedmont |
| Grapes | 55% Pinot Nero, 45% Chardonnay |
Winemaking
Following gentle pressing of the grapes, controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The base wine is then decanted to the bottle, where the second fermentation takes place on the lees for 30 months. Once the yeast has been removed (dégorgement), the necessary dosage is added to the wine.
Our tasting note
Brilliant straw yellow. Delicious Millesimato with fine and enduring perlage. Broad, complex and deep on the nose with notes of yeast, freshly baked bread and delicate floral notes, all accompanied by aromas of ripe citrus fruits. The palate is complex, full-bodied, elegant and intense, with a lively structure and a very long-lasting mineral finish.
