    A Distinctive Alpine Red from Alto Adige
    The 1994 Lagrein Kellerei Terlan offers a rare chance to experience a mature example of one of Alto Adige’s most distinctive native red varieties. Lagrein, known for its deep color, vibrant acidity, and earthy character, thrives in the cool yet sunny alpine climate of northern Italy. Kellerei Terlan (Cantina Terlano) is one of the region’s most respected cooperative wineries, renowned for meticulous vineyard work and long-lived wines.

    A Vintage of Balance and Elegance
    The 1994 vintage in Alto Adige was marked by a steady, moderate growing season, allowing grapes to ripen fully while maintaining excellent acidity and aromatic freshness. Wines from this year are known for their finesse and balance rather than sheer power, making them especially well-suited to aging.

    Mature Aromatics and Harmonious Palate
    After nearly three decades, this Lagrein displays a deep garnet color with subtle brick-orange hues at the rim. The bouquet is beautifully evolved, offering layered aromas of dried blackberry, plum, violet, forest floor, leather, and gentle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and velvety, with softened tannins and vibrant acidity supporting complex, earthy flavors. The finish is long, savory, and elegant, showcasing the alpine character and depth of mature Lagrein.

    Serving and Pairing Recommendations
    Serve slightly below room temperature (around 17 °C). Decanting for about 30–45 minutes is recommended to allow the wine to open fully and reveal its nuanced bouquet. Ideal pairings include hearty mountain dishes such as braised venison, slow-cooked beef, mushroom stews, or aged cheeses like Asiago or mountain pecorino — all of which highlight its earthy, savory depth.

    A Collector’s Alpine Treasure
    The 1994 Lagrein Kellerei Terlan is a rare and captivating addition for collectors and enthusiasts of northern Italian reds. It offers a contemplative glimpse into the age-worthy side of Lagrein, capturing the harmony and quiet complexity of Alto Adige’s historic terroir. Perfect for marking a special evening or sharing with friends who appreciate mature, alpine wines.
