This Merlot is very dark, almost inky. Its nose brings forth black cherry, anise and plum aromas, along with some sweet oak spice. The palate is succulent and flavorful, with dark fruit and enough spice notes to bake a pie. Tannins are rather gentle, so the sip is smooth. I would like this wine paired with a pork shoulder or a creamy cheese. — 3 years ago
Light smoke. Red and black fruit. High acidity and brightness. Delightful. A story buyers notes: Santa Maddalena Classico is its own DOC in the heart of Bolzano. By law the wine must be 90% Schiava (aka Trollinger) and 10% Lagrein. This combination works to add a touch of richness and body to the normally bright and aromatic schiava. The vineyard is a large slope scaling from 250 meters to 500 meters, with the Lagrein grown on the lower portion of the hill. These are old vines averaging between 40-50 years old.

plush and fruit forward. Long finish. Great wine. 91 WE. 91 for me too. Haven’t had many Paso Merlots, and this is an eye opener. — 10 months ago
This dry rosé is made from mostly Turbiana with a small amount of red wine grapes. It’s a versatile and refreshing food wine with subtle flavors that do not overpower the food flavors. There’s restrained strawberry fruits there, along with slight citrus tones amid a grassy tone to the body. — a year ago
Chocolate raspberry but not quite jammy. Amazing with 90% Lindt chocolate. — 4 years ago

This is a very good example of Lugana white, 100% Turbiana (closely related to Trebbiano, but not the same, despite the identified wine). It’s light bodied with bright acidity, some citric tartness, and a bit of graphite earthiness to the finish. This winery has switched from corks to screw cap closures in recent years; I have mixed feelings about this, since these closures will not allow the wine to age anytime soon, which motivates me to drink the bottles sooner. — a year ago
