>> dettaglio
On the palate, it has a velvety, extremely berry-like effect like a French Burgundy, and tones of fresh elderberries and wild cherries give the subtle fruit sweetness a succinct, finely-spiced structure.
The Lagrein Crescendo the best sites of Gries and Auer impresses with its dark garnet red up to deep blue colour, with the slight chocolate and fruit of the forest fragrance seduces and convinces the palate with its hearty, full, velvety structure with soft tannins.
