The 2022 Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Lagrein is a powerful yet refined red from Alto Adige, Northern Italy, showcasing the depth and character of this indigenous grape variety. Crafted in a classic alpine style, it balances richness with freshness and structure. The nose is intense and expressive, revealing black cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of violet, cocoa, spice, and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a velvety texture and fine, structured tannins. Dark fruit and savoury elements are supported by fresh acidity, leading to a long, bold, and slightly meaty finish. The style is robust yet polished, offering both immediate appeal and aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to explore something beyond classic international varietals. Ideal for fans of Syrah or Malbec who want a more distinctive, Old World expression. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 5–8 years. Perfect with braised beef, lamb, game, or rich, hearty dishes.
