Nusserhof (Heinrich Mayr) - Südtirol Lagrein Riserva 2018 (750ml) Ribon RidgeGrown in the shadow of the Alps and Dolomites, Nusserhofs Lagrein is always a fascinating mash up of sensations: a hint of Cte Rtie here, some Right Bank Bordeaux there, a little Jura Burgundy Pinot Noir for good measurethen the elderberry fruit and meaty bass notes of Lagrein. It stands among the greatest red wines of Northern Italy, so if you havent tried it before, dont miss this chance!

The nose brings to mind white peach and pear but also more floral notes such as peony
