Moar · St. Magdalener Classico DOC 2022

  The “Moar” St. Magdalener Classico from the Bolzano Winery reveals a promise in its origin: originating from the gently sloping porphyry slopes of the St. Magdalena hill above Bolzano, this wine is rooted in a terroir of gravelly soils, which, with its old vine culture and careful cultivation, creates a dense, elegant profile. In the winery, the blend of predominantly Vernatsch with a proportion of Lagrein undergoes classic red wine fermentation and is then aged in large wooden barrels - a craft that brings the typical scent of violets and roses as well as the characteristic bitter almond and marzipan notes directly into the glass.

In the glass, the wine is a bright ruby red with a gentle shimmer - its nose captivates with red cherries, raspberries, and a floral range carried by roses and violets. On the palate, this fruitiness combines with a velvety structure and a lingering finish: the Moar is round, balanced, yet endowed with a fine tension that leaves you wanting more. With its origin, stylistic clarity, and regional identity, this St. Magdalener is much more than an accompaniment to antipasti or meat dishes—it is the sonorous portrait of a vineyard that embodies history, soil, and craftsmanship. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
