'Mantsch' Lagrein Alto Adige/Südtirol DOC Riserva Cantina Colterenzio 2019

The alluvial soils surrounding Gries are the best growing place for the Lagrein vine, an excellent raw material for obtaining the Alto Adige Lagrein Riserva DOC "Mantsch" red wine, produced by the Cantina Colterenzio winery. The latter is a cooperative with a relatively young history behind it and which has had as its main objective the enhancement of the territory and the production of quality wines. The best expression is given by this full-bodied, aromatic and fruity wine at the same time. The excellence of this wine is due both to the particular composition of the soil, rich in mineral salts, and to the very favorable climate which allows the vine to grow strong and luxuriant and to supply delicious grapes. This wine is certainly a harmonious and delicate red and, over time, it is curious to know that it has been the protagonist, in the Tyrolean area, of the tables of the nobles, the powerful and the clergy, since the distant Middle Ages.
