Color: deep ruby to garnet red with a delicate shimmer of violet. Smell: The aroma reveals earthy, minerally notes masterfully underpinned with fruit components, with morello cherry and plum jam dominating. Taste: These peaty, spicy and yet velvety fruit notes also intrigue the palate, where this Lagrein Riserva presents itself with multilayered opulence and great complexity.
>> dettaglio
Colour: fresh, pale cherry red. Aroma: fruity and clear with notes of cherries, raspberries and redcurrants, fresh and playful. Taste: full-bodied structure, pleasantly fine acidity, attractive freshness, youthful winey nature, juicy and drinkable, a rosé with a red wine character and a fresh, long finish
Complex and refined with hints of violets, cinnamon and red berry fruits.
Usually bright red, in some vintages this wine can display deep purple highlights. On the nose, the aromas are very intense and ample, with hints of ripe red berries, fresh grass, and violets. On the palate, it is velvety with good concentration and character and soft tannins. This wine goes wonderfully well with hearty fully-flavoured grilled red meat.
Cabernet Sauvignon struggles to ripen in South Tyrol, though not in the sun drenched slopes of Colterenzio, where the unique, unmistakable character of our "Katèlt" unfolds to the full.
