Deep, dark colour mirrors intense dark fruit character, with subtle oakiness and elegant spice on the nose and richly flavoured plum, dark berry and chocolate on the palate. A big wine with some earthiness and still youthful, astringent tannins that could benefit from further aging.
Crimson in the glass with developed red fruit, scents of violets, subtle spice and a trace of pepper. Succulent dark berry-fruit kicks in on the palate, supported by firm dry tannic structure and brisk, youthful acidity. Clearly needs more time, but should evolve well over the next 3 to 7 years.
A bargain Italian with a personable nose of savoury red fruits, herbs, spice, nutmeg, earth and raspberry bush. It’s vibrant but nicely mature on the palate with plush tannins, lovely savoury spices and integrated red and dark berries.
Refined, powerful wine with elegant floral scents suggestive of violets together with dark cherry and plum. Still very youthful on the palate, though generous, fine cherry-fruit is apparent and tannins are beginning to show velvety texture. Approachable now with food but deserves several more years in the cellar.
Open, easy-drinking and fresh, this excellent value offers apple, mineral and citrus flavours, crisp with good acidity and a clean finish. Pinot Grigio, in general, deservedly gets a bad rap because of the abundance of insipid offerings on the market, but when it’s made well, it is a lovely, drinkable and food-versatile wine. The best-quality entry-level Pinot Grigio available on the market.
Floral, apple and lightly honeyed scents give way to off-dry apple flavours delivered in an appetizingly creamy texture with gentle fizz, lively acidity and a dry mineral note on the finish.
Very pale. Wines sold under the Tenutae Lageder label are from vineyards owned by Aloïs Lageder and follow biodynamic practices. This Chardonnay has a discreet mineral nose with citrus and white fruit (pear-like) notes; a floral touch develops in the glass. Lively attack, round and full mid-palate with a fatty texture and a lengthy flavourful finish. Lageder’s wines carry a sense of purity and authenticity that deserve respect. Enjoy this one with sea fish or poultry dishes.
