Linticlarus Lagrein Riserva

The Linticlarus Selection includes the premium wines of the Tiefenbrunner 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. The goal of this selection is to combine the highest potential of both the vineyard and the vintner's art in order to produce inimitable, world-class wines.

Tasting Notes

This typical South Tyrolean wine exhibits gentle aromas of wild berries. Fine grained, ripe tannins accompany it's good acidity level, and give the wine elegance and persistence. A fine round finish.

Food Pairing

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