CASTELFEDER RIEDER LAGREIN ALTO ADIGE DOC 2022

For over five decades, Castelfeder has mastered South Tyrol's ancient Rieder vineyard near Bolzano, where volcanic porphyry and dolomite soils combine with Alpine protection to create an extraordinary terroir blessed with 300 days of sunshine and dramatic day-night temperature swings that preserve natural acidity. Hand-harvested Lagrein, this region's indigenous red specialty, undergoes traditional concrete tank fermentation with extended maceration to develop its intense ruby color and full-bodied structure. This powerhouse red delivers concentrated dark berry flavors with elegant violet aromatics and smooth tannins, showcasing the unique character of Alto Adige's distinctive Alpine-Mediterranean microclimate through well-balanced acidity that makes it perfect for chilled service during warm summer evenings.
