This J. Hofstätter Joseph Lagrein Alto Adige is a bold and robust Italian red.The nose is a complex blend of dark cherry, ripe plum, blackberry and a hint of spice. On the palate, it has a full body with great structure and balanced acidity, leading to a long, velvety finish. It is a great example of the Alto Adige terroir, and its complexity and finesse make it a real pleasure to drink. Enjoy this wine now, or cellar for a few years for even more complexity.
