Magnum Il Conte 2022 BIO MANINCOR

A wine which tastes of Manincor; truly unique. The essence of the hills around the wine estate and the lake, full of vigour and warmth.

Grape varieties
Lagrein 48 %, Merlot 35 %, Cabernet 17 %

Location & soil
The Manincor estate and the Panholzerhof, both sites are south-east facing overlooking the Lake of Kaltern at an altitude of 250 m above sea level; soils are rich
comprising sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel and other morainal deposits. These vineyards are among the warmest in all South Tyrol, pre-destined for the
production of great red wines.

Expansion
Grapes from each parcel of vineyard were crushed separately and fermented in a mixture of oak and cement vats and stainless steel tanks using yeasts occurring naturally
in the vineyard. Skin contact lasted ten days and was rigorously controlled, during which time the cap of skins was pushed down into the fermenting liquid daily as it rose to
the surface in order to extract velvety, assertive but ripe tannins. Fresh fruit and elegance are the main qualities we strive for in this wine. The young wine was transferred
into oak barrels of varying sizes where it matured for twelve months.

Description & drinking recommendation
Concentrated bright ruby. A rich, seductive berry fruit and spice nose leads to a remarkably succulent, well-structured palate of white and black pepper, dark chocolate,
liquorice and damson with silky-textured tannins. Almost Burgundian in its drinkability.
Enjoy at optimum maturity from 2023 to the end of 2028.
Serve: just below room temperature, 60 - 64 °F
Delicious to accompany well-seasoned Mediterranean first courses, peppered lamb steaks and other dishes of fried or grilled red meat.
