Lagrein Riserva Vigna 'Castel Ringberg' 2020<br />South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />The Renaissance castle of the Vigna 'Castel Ringberg', built by the Habsburg dynasty in 1620, towers above Lake Kaltern and is surrounded by the vineyards of the single<br />vineyard site. A 'Vigna' is an additional designation of origin; the term stands for a precisely delineated and mapped vineyard. The vineyards of the Vigna 'Castel Ringberg',<br />which alternate between moderate and steep slopes, are located at a unique intersection of three different soils: in the west, the dolomite rock of the Mendel ridge<br />accompanies the vineyards, while the steep slopes consist of 30,000-year-old gravel from the ice-age river Adige. In the southern and central parts, the larger areas consist<br />of loose limestone rubble, which aerates the vine roots well. In addition, the mildness of Lake Kaltern, coupled with strong afternoon southerly winds, allows for gentle,<br />natural cultivation with deliberately small-scale production. The microclimate and geological conditions at an ideal altitude of 330 to 400 metres above sea level offer optimal<br />conditions for wines of incomparable character. 'Castel Ringberg' Lagrein Riserva Vigna invites with a strong garnet red and with a fruity-fresh, multi-layered bouquet:<br />Aromas of red berries with cranberries, currants and cherries combine with delicate tobacco notes and a little chocolate. Velvety soft tannins, a fresh, spicy richness and<br />structure, youthful elegance and plenty of charm as well as a stimulating, mineral-tinged length convince on the palate.'<br /><br /><br />VINIFICATION: Fermentation on the skins for about 10 days followed by acid reduction. Maturation for 20 months in French barriques. Subsequent filling and long ageing in<br />bottle. Since 2015, a state-of-the-art fermentation cellar has allowed the grapes to be processed with the utmost care, with whole-grape processing and also the processing<br />of whole grapes using gravity. The sensitive destemmer and the gentle transport of the grapes by means of a 'cuvon', a container on rails, prove to be extremely gentle on<br />the grapes and preserve their high quality. The state of the art building is certainly unique in South Tyrol in this conception and is probably one of the most modern<br />fermenting cellars in Italy, for the production of great red wines d'excellence.<br /><br />Designation: South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />Harvest: Harvested and selected by hand with the utmost care<br />

HUBERFELD<br />MERLOT SOUTH TYROL DOC<br />THE GREAT<br /><br />Raise the curtain on one of the greats! Below Missian, in the so-called Huberfeld, the Merlot of the same name grows. The deep, chalky alluvial soil and the heat-retaining<br />environment provide the red wine with what it needs for its intensive, unique characteristics. In addition, the field resembles an amphitheatre of nature, giving Huberfeld the<br />scenery it deserves!<br />WINE DESCRIPTION:Aromas of plum and blackcurrant, fine liquorice, slightly spicy. Round tannins and the elegant acid structure support the fruit-driven, long finish.<br />TERROIR:Warm sites on deep, loamy soils with a high clay content in Unterrain and St. Pauls (250m above sea level).<br />AGE OF THE VINE:approx. 25 years<br />READING PERIOD:mid-October<br />VINIFICATION:Slow fermentation in large wooden barrels followed by maturation on fine yeast in tonneaux for 5-6 months.<br />STORAGE POTENTIAL:up to 5 years<br />Serving Suggestions:With meat dishes, wild fowl and mature cheese.<br />SERVING TEMPERATURE:16°-18°C<br />ALCOHOL:13% vol.<br />

Grape varieties: Lagrein 48 %, Merlot 35 %, Cabernet 17 %.<br />Site and soil: Manincor and Panholzerhof, both south-eastern slopes at 250 m above sea level with lake views, with strong, sandy loam soils, interspersed with limestone<br />gravel and other glacial rock deposits. These vineyards are among the warmest sites in South Tyrol and are predestined for great red wines.<br /><br />Vintage: 2021 was a relatively late year. The harvest began on 13 September with Sauvignon Blanc in Lieben Aich and ended on 20 October with Cabernet Sauvignon on<br />Manincor. The ripening period in particular was characterised by almost perfect weather, with sunny days and clear nights where it cooled down properly. So 2021 is all<br />about balance. Physiological ripeness, sugar ripeness and acidity are in optimal balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol characterise the vintage. From the<br />end of September to mid-October, we were able to harvest Merlot, Lagrein and Cabernet Franc one after the other at the best time. The yield per hectare was 59 hl.<br /><br />Vinification: Each batch was vinified separately, always with mash fermentation, partly spontaneously with the grape's own yeasts in wooden, concrete and stainless steel<br />vats. The maceration lasted ten days and was carried out carefully. It was only macerated once a day to obtain fine-grained, filigree tannins. Freshness and finesse are the<br />top priorities. The wine was aged for twelve months in wooden barrels of various sizes.<br /><br />Bottling: 58,400 bottles were filled.<br /><br />Data:<br />Residual sugar: 1.2 g/l<br />Alcohol: 13 % vol.<br />Acidity: biological acid reduction 5,6 g/l<br /><br />Description and drinking suggestions: Bright, dense ruby red. On the nose fruity with small berries, later spicy with liquorice, white and black pepper. Dense on the palate<br />with firm but fine tannin, Burgundian in its drinking flow.<br /><br />Optimal drinking maturity from 2023 until the end of 2028.<br />Serving temperature: 16 - 18 °C<br />Goes well with spicy Mediterranean starters and roast and grilled (red) meat.<br />
