2019 Terlano Porphyr Riserva Lagrein Trentino-Alto Adige

Winemaker Notes: Made from the autochthonous varietal, Lagrein is impenetrably dense garnet with scents of brambly ripe blackberry and spice, balanced with warm oak accents. It is silky textured and layered with rivers of lush chocolate and wild berries supported in a framework of mineral and spice.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "An enormously concentrated and complex Italian red that is totally distinctive to this region. Stunning nose that marries the blackest berry fruit with notes of raw meat, old balsamic vinegar and crushed rock. The integration of deep fruit, richness and dense powdery tannins is breathtaking, the plush finish extremely long. The best vintage ever of this unique wine."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The Cantina Terlano 2019 Alto Adige Lagrein Riserva Porphyr is an opaque and richly concentrated wine that is almost impenetrable in appearance. Prune, raisin and all sorts of black fruits emerge heavily from the bouquet. The wine spreads richly over the palate, pushed forward by considerable fruit weight and pretty acidity. There are sweet earthy notes. Best after 2022."
