In the almost flat vineyard sites of Gries near Bolzano, sandy river alluvial soils are imbued by quartz porphyry. The Lagrein grapes, which predominate in this fresh cuvée, reach full maturity here thanks to the heat-retaining properties of the Bolzano valley basin, thus gaining their typical velvety softness. These deep red grapes are pressed with very short skin contact, thus surprising with fruity and fresh aromas of cherries combined with a hint of almonds. With beautifully integrated acidity, this rosé goes particularly well with strong starters from South Tyrolean cuisine, with fish dishes and summer-inspired dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Solid and typical South Tyrolean Sauvignon Bianco with lively aromas of elder and gooseberry. Fine and medium on the palate with good acidity and harmonious aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Stein Sauvignon from Nals Margreid is remarkably fresh and lifted, while maintaining an intense display of zesty green citrus and wild herbs. Earthy notes of wet stone and smoky minerals develop over time. It is round and soothing in the mouth with a sweeter profile yet still bristling with acid-driven tension and verve. The cheeks pucker with a salty savoriness throughout the long and balanced finale." Vinous

"The 2019 Schiava Galea from Nals Margreid is intense, as a wave of confectionary spice gives way to ripe strawberry and cherry with wild herbal tones and hints of floral undergrowth. It’s silky, enveloping, sapid and sweet, showcasing a host of wild berry fruits which are kept in balance by zesty acids. After the menagerie of extroverted fruit character the Galea closes surprisingly fresh. Readers will be hard-pressed to put this glass down." Vinous
