2020 Manincor 'Rubatsch' Lagrein Alto Adige Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
$49.99
Two-thirds of the total come from the “Rubatsch” site at Terlan and one third of the grapes are grown in the “Seehof” site at Kaltern. Rubatsch is a south-west facing site at an altitude of 250 m above sea level where the soils consist of sand mixed with eroded porphyry rock, while the Seehof site overlooking the Lake of Kaltern is likewise situated at an altitude of 250 m with soils comprising sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel. Rubatsch yields wines of subtlety and elegance, while the body and structure derives from the Seehof soils.
The fermentation with the skins took place in opentop oak vats started by yeasts naturally occurring on the grapes. Over two weeks the skins were pushed down into the fermenting wine daily as they rose to the surface, enabling us to gently extract colour and tannins. The young wine matured for sixteen months in barriques, of which one in five was new, during which time it developed mellowness and harmony.
