Tenuta J. Hofstatter, Trentino - Alto Adige
‘The 2000 Lagrein Seinrafler, the first top-flight wine from this grape to be made outside of Gries near Bolzano, presents a powerful nose of blackberries, minerals, tar, and damp earth and a full volume, well structured palate given an additional sweetness by the notes of vanilla and roasted coffee. Drink: 2004-2014.’ 90pts Wine Advocate

Urbano, from its famous Barthenau vineyard.
