Rénier Cuvée Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2021 - Castel Sallegg x 6

Why the winemaker recommends Castel Sallegg Rénier Cuvée Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT

A stormy wine from the evening... New label, new cuvée completely new in the Castel Sallegg line. Lagrein/Merlot. Can it be good? Dark red in the glass; lilac nose. Initially acidic on the palate, dry. Also leather, wood. More relaxed under air, could also be a Bordeaux from the Médoc. Only time will tell whether it can reach 4*. It has the chance! At the moment the grapes are not yet harmonized accordingly.

Characteristics Rénier Cuvée of Castel Sallegg

Lagrein and Merlot form a surprising, fantastic, harmonious cuvée. Ruby red in the glass, with strawberries, black cherries, currants, blueberries, leather, juicy fruit, little acid. I would like to try something older again.

Recommended pairings for this red wine Trentino Alto Adige DOC

An excellent red from the Dolomites, it pairs wonderfully with rather acidic dishes, tomato paste, meat: baked rabbit, cheese and shrimp risotto.

Uncork and serve at a temperature of 14 and 16°C in a Tulipano glass.
