Reviewed August 2023This is very intense with tar, graphite, wet earth, mushroom and bark aromas that follow through to a full body, with layers of tannins and a succulent finish. Drink now.

Wine Spectator
A fragrant version, with an expressive note of steeped boysenberry, plus a warm mix of baked cherry, fig cake, dried sage and cocoa powder. Fine, chalky tannins firm the savory finish, with hints of olive, smoke and milled pepper. Best from 2026 through 2031. (AN)

Wine Enthusiast
Big, bold and beautiful, this wine states its case plainly with forward aromas of blackberry, violets, licorice and crushed stone. Seemingly hedonistic, the wine restrains itself on the palate with gamy and savory flavors that draw the attention deeper into the wine as it continues to develop with each minute in the glass finishing with a firm stamp of tannins on the finish.

Notes
From the warm, gravelly soils of the Gries district near Bolzano, Cantina Terlano crafts this powerful yet polished expression of Lagrein. Aged in large oak barrels, the 2021 vintage balances wild blackberry, plum, violet, and dark spice aromas with savory undertones of leather and earth. The palate is deep and structured, with firm but velvety tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral-laced finish. A classic South Tyrolean red that captures both the richness and finesse of the region’s native Lagrein grape. Ideal for hearty Alpine fare or cellar aging.
