Riesling Rain Alois Lageder 2019

The Riesling Rain of Alois Lageder winery is a fresh and mineral white wine made with 100% of Riesling grapes from vineyards located on the sandy and gravelly soils of Penone, on the calcareous soils of Magrè and on the volcanic soils of the Valle Isarco. The wine has a beautiful straw yellow color with greenish reflections, while in the nose it is fruity and floral with notes of ripe fruit and white flowers. A very expressive wine, in the mouth it is fresh and dry, savory, with mineral and citrus aromas. The Riesling Rain of Alois Lageder is a great white wine perfect to drink in combination with main courses of fish, fried or grilled, or with a good risotto  with vegetables.

The Alois Lageder winery was founded in Albions, a small mountain village in Val Gardena, in 1823. Johann Lageder started wholesale wine sales in 1924 and later his sons and grandchildren decided to buy vineyards and to produce wine themselves. With Alois Lageder, the company became a reference point in South Tyrol and synonymous of quality and excellence, producing wines that best represent the personality of the territory and the balance between tradition and innovation. Particular attention is paid to sustainable and ecological criteria: currently the 50 hectares of vineyards owned by the family are entirely cultivated with biodynamic methods. The company also collaborates with a certain number of selected winegrowers in South Tyrol: the extension of the vineyards covers further 110 hectares, a quarter of which are cultivated with biodynamic methods.
