Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Lagrein – Wines From Alto Adige Wine #10

2010-Tiefenbrunner-Turmhof-Lagrein
Juicy and Smooth – Another Lovely Lagrein!

100% Lagrein from Alto Adige, Italy.

SRP of $25 and available for around $20 (Saturday Splurge). Sample submitted for review.

From the winery:

“Description: deep garnet red in color, with a delicate bouquet showing the cherry and violet note characteristic of the varietals; subtle wood tones complement its full round fruit flavors. Compact tannins and an agreeable acidity carry this traditional South Tyrolean wine through to its long finish.

Food pairing: excellent with braised or grilled beef, lamb, or game, as well as cheese.

13.5% Alcohol”

Today we’re going back to one of our favorite, under-appreciated regions, Alto Adige. We’ve previously covered a number of delicious wines in this series:

  • 2010 Nals Margreid Penon Pinot Bianco
  • 2009 Manincor Lagrein Rubatsch
  • 2010 Erste + Neue Weissburgunder-Pinot Blanc
  • 2010 San Pietro Lagrein
  • 2011 Castelfeder 15 Pinot Grigio
  • 2010 Colterenzio Weisshaus Pinot Bianco
  • 2009 Castel Sallegg Lagrein Riserva
  • 2011 Nals Margreid Galea Vernatsch Schiava
  • 2010 Tramin Lagrein
  • 2010 Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Lagrein

Today we have another wine made from the delicious variety of Lagrein, a grape indigenous to Alto Adige. The 2010 Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Lagrein begins with a delicate and inviting aroma of black cherry, violet and licorice. The wine tastes of juicy red and black cherry with undercurrents of licorice and tobacco. Fine, soft tannins contribute to a very smooth and pleasing mouthfeel in this nicely balanced wine. It ends with a very long finish featuring more juicy fruit and lingering mineral and tobacco notes that last a really long time. Another lovely Lagrein!
