It takes shape from a Demeter-certified biodynamic viticulture to get to the glass to express all the essence of the varietal and all the typicality of the territory: this is the Merlot Riserva "XV," produced by the "Alois Lageder" winery. Left to ferment in steel and then left to mature in oak barrels, it is a Merlot that has a lot of substance and a lot of structure to spare, resulting at the same time in a Merlot with a refined style that is never predictable. Try it with meat-based second courses; you'll find it perfect paired with pork stew.
Tasting Notes.: Gives a beautiful ruby red to the eye. It offers an aromatic bouquet on the nose, which perceives notes of ripe red fruit then followed by vegetal memories and spicy tones. The palate is full-bodied, fresh and smooth in tannic texture, with good persistence.
Pairings: Ideal with meats, it is excellent with pork stew.
