Linticlarus Lagrein Riserva

The Linticlarus Selection includes the premium wines of the Tiefenbrunner Castel Turmhof Estate Winery, which are produced only in exceptional vintages. The name “Linticlarus” is taken from the name of the former Roman fortress "castrum linticlar" in Entiklar. This Lagrein Riserva is produced from 7 to 10 year old vines planted on chalky soils with southern exposure.

Tasting Notes

Aged 14 months in barriques, the wine is dark garnet in color and offers an intense bouquet of violets and wild berries. A perfect combination of acidity and fine-grained, ripe tannins frames elegant and balanced fruity flavors that linger on the palate.

Food Pairing

This rustic red is the perfect partner to a hearty bowl of Spezzatino di Manzo, or Italian beef stew. Mangia!
