Girlan Lagrein 2010

Lagrein is generally the most impressive red grape of the Alto Adige region in the far north of Italy when yields are controlled (which they are at Girlan). This variety is deeply coloured and can have fruit character reminiscent of dark cherries.

Thanks to careful vineyard selection, low yields and subtle oak handling, Girlan producers a dark, richly aromatic red with fine tannins and real freshness. Stylistically, it is perhaps most comparable to the medium bodied red wines of Savoie, made from the Mondeuse variety. On the other hand this wine is unique in an almost pinoesque kind of way! Girlan’s 2010 has a really vibrant personality to match its intense purple colour. This wine is full of life.. it’s bright and crunchy with perfumed cherry, fresh tobacco, wild berry aromas and flavours. Decant this so it can open out. RRP RRP $31 Our price $27.99
