In the 5th edition of the german wine magazin Vinum 2018, author Christian Eder writes about the autochthonous South Tyrolean grape varieties Vernatsch and Lagrein and tasted 118 wines.

The fruity Vernatsch and the powerful Lagrein show the red wine potential of the South Tyrolean wine region. Vernatsch has never been as varied as today, the bright red of the wine variety is regarded as an advantage in the times of elegant light wines. Lagrein, on the other hand, has established itself as South Tyrol’s red flagship and expanded its terroir to the South Tyrolean lowlands.

Among the 20 wines that have received 16.5 or more points are also our 2 submitted wines

• St. Magdalener Classico Vigna Rondell 2016
• Lagrein Riserva 2015

Both wines received 16.5 points.

The traditional Bolzano Wine Tasting takes place from March 15th to 18th 2018 in the halls of Mareccio Castle, Bolzano

We will be part of the event that gathers almost 40 wineries among the best in South Tyrol. 170 and more labels of red wine, white wine, rosé and sparkling wine are waiting to be tasted by wine lovers or simply curious from many regions.

The inauguration day, Thursday from 5 pm to 10 pm, will be the opportunity for the visitors of meeting all wineries and have a sip of South Tyrol’s excellences. On Friday and Saturday the festival is open from 10 am to 10 pm, and on Sunday from 10 am to 8 pm.

Every day are planned vertical tastings of Sauvignon, the grape variety that has found in this very area the perfect condition to express itself. Live music and culinary tastings will come along throughout the festival.
