The powerful Tor di Lupo Lagrein Riserva Alto Adige from Cantina Andrian glides into the glass with a dense purple color. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high density and fullness, which is reflected in strong stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from the Old World presents wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry, sour cherry and blackcurrant, rounded off with chocolate and blueberry, which are contributed by the ageing in wooden barrels.

The Tor di Lupo Lagrein Riserva Alto Adige from Cantina Andrian is ideal for all wine lovers who like it dry. However, it is never austere or brittle, as you would expect from an iconic wine segment. This velvety red wine is full-bodied and multi-faceted on the palate. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, the Tor di Lupo Lagrein Riserva Alto Adige flatters the palate with a soft sensation without lacking freshness. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region, more precisely from Alto Adige / South Tyrol DOC, ultimately delights with a remarkable aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils.
