Lagrein Rosé Mitterberg IGT 2020

  The Lagrein Rosé Mitterberg from Pfannenstielhof is a sophisticated interpretation of the indigenous Lagrein variety, which presents itself with unexpected lightness and fidelity to its origins. The grapes come from sandy and gravelly alluvial soils in the Bolzano basin, which give the vine its typical minerality and cool fruitiness. After a short maceration period, the wine is vinified like a white wine—a stylistic device that enhances its bright color and precise fruit structure. The vinophile signature of the Pfeifer winery has created a rosé that is not “just” a summer wine, but makes its own statement of quality.

In the glass, the rosé glows in a light cherry or delicate raspberry red - a visual indication of its elegance and freshness. The nose reveals aromas of red berries, raspberries, and a delicate nutty or almond note, accompanied by floral nuances that underline the wine's finesse. This impression continues on the palate: the wine is lively and juicy, with a precise structure and a smooth tannin framework that gives it substance - proving that a rosé can be more than just an accompaniment, but can also be full of character. Ideal as an aperitif, with Mediterranean antipasti or summer fish and poultry dishes - a rosé for connoisseurs and pleasure seekers alike. - Gerardo [TS10/21]
