Lagrein Rubeno 2021 is impenetrably dark and purple-coloured in the glass and exudes an earthy blend of blackcurrants, brown spices and tobacco.

"As the wine is poured the aromas immediately lift out showing black plum, dried cherry, candied violet and white pepper. A classic take on the grape, the wine showcases the round and plush nature of the grape on the palate with the piquant flavor that gives the wine its verve." Wine Enthusiast

Medium deep, intense cherry red colour, rich, fruity plum aroma, spicy notes of leather and cocoa, but also floral nuances of violets. Full, mild taste with earthy finish and fine tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

A more than respectable performance for a so-called basic Lagrein: minty freshness, accentuated by floral notes and a hint of white pepper. The 2019 Lagrein still seems a little hesitant to show its full potential today, but the first sip already reveals a deep, silky texture. This is matched by a crisp red and black fruit flavour, driven by juicy acidity and plenty of pressure. Very impressive and with potential! SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep red with violet hues, the 2021 Lagrein wafts up with a bouquet of crushed blackberries, cloves and sage. Silky and enveloping, this impresses with its contrasting blend of tart wild berry fruits and zesty acidity as saline minerals add a tactile feel. This finishes long and structured yet still lively, leaving a classically dry impression while keeping the taster returning to the glass for more." Vinous

The grapes for Rivus come from the best Lagrein sites, some of them from 100-year-old vines in Neumarkt and Auer. Rich purple red. Aromas of wild blackberries, tobacco, herbs and lavender. Energetic body, not too heavy, soft, silky tannins and bright acidity. Spicy and tasty with a juicy and lively finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Like a freshly cracked open jar of wild berry preserves laced with sweet sage, the 2021 Lagrein Rivus makes itself known in the glass. This blends both sweet and sour characteristics with crisp blackberry fruits offset by citrus and brisk acidity. It leaves the palate stained in primary concentration yet remains surprisingly fresh as violet inner florals and a tart black currant twang slowly fade." Vinous

"This youthful Lagrein red wine needs a little aeration to expel the last bit of carbon dioxide from the fermentation, but then a broad spectrum of aromas of black cherries, red berries and candied ginger unfolds. The tannins are very elegant for this grape variety and go wonderfully with the precise fruit character. Long, silky finish. Built for ageing." James Suckling

"Lagrein is undoubtedly one of South Tyrol's leading varieties and is currently experiencing a renaissance, especially due to its fruity aroma paired with spicy notes and its velvety tannins. This autochthonous grape variety has its roots in the provincial capital of Bolzano, but has also been a fixed part of the range in Terlan for many decades." Rudi Kofler (cellar master Cantina Terlano)

Lagrein Perl opens like a fresh glass of blackberry jam. Sweet violets, confectioner's spice, musk berries and an enriching note of brown sugar create a deeply seductive bouquet. It is remarkably juicy and fresh, showing its ripe dark fruits while combining zesty acids and minerals for an energetic expression. Very clear and clean until the end with beautiful hints of wild berries that slowly fade away. SUPERIORE.DE
