Description
What kind of wine it is
Puntay Lagrein Riserva by Erste Neue is a still red wine that precisely expresses the identity of the Lagrein grape variety. It stands out for its deep ruby red colour and a dry, full-bodied profile, supported by a solid structure. The tannins are clearly present but harmoniously integrated, leading the tasting towards a long and persistent finish. The bouquet is enveloping, characterised by fruity and spicy notes that evoke blackberries, plums and cherries, enhanced by hints of violet and dark chocolate. This sensory richness translates into a sip with a structured character.
Where it comes from
This wine has its roots in the Caldaro area, in the province of Bolzano, the beating heart of viticulture in Trentino-Alto Adige. Part of the Alto Adige denomination, it represents an authentic expression of the mountain terroir, renowned for its distinctive soil and climate conditions. Erste Neue faithfully interprets the identity of these lands, enhancing production through rigorous certified organic viticulture. The Puntay line selects the finest fruit, offering a glass that reflects the purity of the Alpine landscape and the region's deep winemaking vocation.
How it is produced
Production begins with fermentation in stainless steel tanks, essential for preserving the freshness and aromatic definition of the grape variety. Subsequently, the wine matures for eighteen months in small oak barrels, a crucial stage for smoothing the tannic texture. The process continues with further harmonisation in large French oak barrels, until reaching a total maturation of thirty-six months. This meticulous ageing process gives the wine remarkable elegance, a full body and pronounced persistence on the palate.
History and Curiosities
The Puntay Lagrein Riserva 2022 from Erste e Neue embodies the essence of Alto Adige DOC, the result of certified organic viticulture under the FAIR’N GREEN standard. This full-bodied and expressive red is produced in Caldaro from pure Lagrein grapes. The winemaking process is distinguished by 36 months of ageing, 18 of which are spent in barriques, followed by further harmonisation in large French oak barrels. On the palate, it offers a long and persistent finish, enhanced by notes of blackberry and dark chocolate, masterfully supported by well-integrated tannins.
