Südtirol Lagrein Riserva Fluvia 750ml KURTATSCH 2023

Lagrein is considered the oldest autochthonous grape variety of Alto Adige. FLUVIA, derived from the Latin word fluvius (river), reveals itself in the glass with an enticing richness of aromas of forest and elderberries, black cherries and a subtle hint of cocoa.

The restrained ageing in French barriques adds delicate toasted notes and further depth. On the palate, juicy fruit, vibrant freshness and velvety tannins come together in a harmonious whole. This grape variety, often described as rustic, presents itself here as surprisingly fine and well balanced. The spicy, fruit-driven finish is clear and light-footed, lingering long on the palate. An exceptionally elegant and harmonious Lagrein that immediately invites another sip. FLUVIA: the flowing one.
