2011 Lagrein Riserva DOC is made with 100% Lagrein grapes, grown in the vineyards of the convent of Muri Gries in the Sudtirol DOC, a province in the region of Alto Adige in Northern Italy.

This phenomenal wine is a deep ruby red, and the nose is layered with aromas of dark cherries, currants, nutmeg, tobacco, leather, and hints of herbs. In the mouth, it is rich with flavors of black currants, tobacco and hints of licorice along with rich, soft tannins and a long finish. A very concentrate and full-body wine with convincing structure, finesse and character, it pairs well with mushroom risotto, meaty pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.
