The 2025 Girlan Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 448 Rosso is a fresh and approachable red from Alto Adige, inspired by the historic vineyards surrounding Cantina Girlan's original estate at 448 metres above sea level. Crafted from a blend of traditional local red varieties, the wine highlights the region's cool-climate freshness and mineral-rich glacial soils. The nose is vibrant and expressive, offering aromas of wild berries, red cherry and plum, complemented by subtle spice and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a velvety texture and bright natural acidity. Flavours of blackberry, raspberry and red plum are balanced by gentle spice and a fine mineral character, leading to a smooth, fresh finish. Fermented in stainless steel with maturation in concrete vats, the wine retains its purity of fruit and lively character.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday Italian red for customers who enjoy fresh, fruit-forward wines with soft tannins and plenty of versatility. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, charcuterie or semi-hard cheeses. Best enjoyed while youthful over the next 2–3 years.
