Vinous (88)Dark and inward, the 2019 Lagrein Riserva Gries grumbles up from the glass with nuances of mint, dried cherries and ashen stone. Its textures are soft, almost fleshy in feel, with rich black fruits and balsamic spice. The 2019 finishes structured, but also a bit short, with a bitter touch of cocoa. This monolithic rendition of Terlano’s Gries is a bit perplexing. It certainly requires cellaring, yet it lacks dimension in general. |

Wine Advocate (95)The Cantina Terlano 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Monticol is fresh and even wild with forest bramble, tart cassis or cranberry. The winemaking style hones in on freshness and brightness, all this thanks to high-altitude mountain winemaking, with plenty of floral detailing focused on violet and Alpine wild flower. These results are fine and silky, and take note of that pretty freshness that gives lots of life and energy to the finish. Some 45,000 bottles were released. This is a Pinot Noir to serve with an Asiago cheese made in the Alps. |
