Alois Lageder XV Merlot Riserva 2021 Alto Adige DOC

A Merlot Riserva from Alto Adige, made by Alois Lageder from certified biodynamic Demeter viticulture. The wine ferments in steel and then matures in oak barriques, which gives a Merlot with plenty of substance and structure, yet a refined style. Ruby red in the glass, it has an aromatic nose of ripe red fruit, followed by vegetal and spicy notes. The palate has good body, freshness and smooth tannins, with good persistence. It suits meat dishes, especially pork stew.
