Riserva Tenutæ Lageder Conus Lagrein
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Most classic example of Pinot Grigio I ever tasted. Single Vineyard. Really stands out.

Lagrein is a rare grape and serendipitous find from when I was in Alto Adige in August. There are less than 500 hectares planted worldwide and my hotel was perched above at least one of them. Conus has three things I love: dense fruit, minimal intervention, and alcohol restraint. A good reference point would be Cabernet Sauvignon bottled from concrete instead of oak and picked early.
It’s full bodied, aromatically expressive, flavorful, soft, supple, and pure. Plum, dark cherry, cocoa.
