The Lagrein Riserva DOC “Gries Berger Gei” 2022 from Weingut Niedrist is a bold and structured red wine that embodies the power and elegance of South Tyrol’s indigenous Lagrein grape. It displays an intense, deep purplish red color. The nose reveals layered aromas of dark berries, ripe plum, bitter chocolate, leather, and herbal spice. On the palate, this Riserva is concentrated and expressive, with firm, ripe tannins, balanced freshness, and a long, spicy finish. The “Riserva” designation reflects extended aging in large oak casks and barrique, enhancing complexity and aging potential. The 2022 vintage brought ideal conditions with cool nights and steady ripening, allowing Lagrein to show its full character – depth, fruit, and finesse.
