Tenuta J. Hofstatter, Trentino - Alto Adige

The Estate is particularly proud of their basic Lagrein (the previous vintage was put forward by Gambero Rosso for the Tre Bicchieri Taste-offs alongside the greatest Italian wines released in 2006). A fantastic example of this little known grape, indigenous to Alto Adige, with liquorice, tobacco and spicy black cherry fruit.

The Tenuta J. Hofstatter estate

As well as being home to one of Italy's finest Gerwurztraminer (tre-bicchiere award-winning Cru Kolbenhof) and to date its most exciting and complex offering of Lagrein (Steinraffler Riserva), Martin Foradori's stunningly-situated South Tyrol Estate is best known for making one of Europe's most prestigious Pinot Noirs south of Volnay - Vigna S. Urbano, from its famous Barthenau vineyard.
