From Alto Adige’s celebrated biodynamic producer, the 2024 Alois Lageder Vernatsch is a benchmark for this elegant, light-bodied alpine red. The nose is wonderfully pure and aromatic, with delicate notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, and rose petal, accented by a hint of white pepper and alpine herbs. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and graceful, with silky, gentle tannins and a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity that makes it incredibly refreshing. The finish is clean, zesty, and savory. A perfect, versatile red best served with a slight chill.
