Opens with a bit of reduction, Plums & more plums and a bit of cherry with a pinch of cinnamon & cloves and some damp, earthy undergrowth. On the palate this is surprisingly plush (for a Vernatsch) with soft plums and a bit of prune plus a herby, slightly bitter tang. Quite tannic yet juicy & nicely balanced.
A very nice one, in a riper, fuller style (again, for a Vernatsch). — 6 years ago

Cherries and nice acidity... Served it with Nona's homemade ravioli and was delicious! — 9 years ago
Dry at first, with fruitiness popping up and a bitter lemony touch. The IPA of Swiss white? — 10 years ago
Cherry nose with sour cherry notes on the palate pretty tart . This wine hums when it's matched with food. Oregano really ignites a perfume of raspberry and candied flower. — 10 years ago
Creamy, rich golden color, floral hint, medium bodied, slight green apple flavor, very easy to drink on its own, light enough to pair with fruit and cheese. — 4 years ago
Full-bodied, with plums and sour cherries on the palate. Tannins carry the flavors, but the acid is not forward. — 6 years ago

Great Pinot Grigio from the Alto Adige province. A much better value then Santa Margarita. Great first wine for your next Italian dinner — 10 years ago
Light smoke. Red and black fruit. High acidity and brightness. Delightful. A story buyers notes: Santa Maddalena Classico is its own DOC in the heart of Bolzano. By law the wine must be 90% Schiava (aka Trollinger) and 10% Lagrein. This combination works to add a touch of richness and body to the normally bright and aromatic schiava. The vineyard is a large slope scaling from 250 meters to 500 meters, with the Lagrein grown on the lower portion of the hill. These are old vines averaging between 40-50 years old.

Bowen Home - oaky nose, dry at first, citrus combined with pear and vanilla to finish. — 8 years ago
Usual lovely balance that you get in Lagrein Riserva. Missing out on some of the fruit and presence in the mouth that you get with the Muri Gries — 9 years ago
2015 is great year for North Italy whites and this is no exception. Generous style with plenty of fruit but nice acidity keeping it fresh and highly drinkable. — 9 years ago
