From one of Alto Adige’s benchmark biodynamic estates, the 2023 Manincor “Keil” is a stunning and elegant expression of single-vineyard Vernatsch. From the shores of Lago di Caldaro (Kalterersee), this is a quintessential alpine red that prizes finesse and fragrance. The nose is wonderfully aromatic, with delicate notes of wild strawberry, sour cherry, and rose petal, accented by a hint of white pepper and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s light-bodied, fresh, and silky, with gentle tannins and a bright, mouthwatering acidity that makes it incredibly refreshing. The finish is clean, persistent, and savory. Serve with a slight chill for a perfect aperitivo or a versatile partner to salumi and light Alpine fare.
