J. Hofstätter Südtirol Alto Adige Lagrein Vigna Steinraffler 2020 (750ml) *

Lagrein is a dark, native grape of Italy's mountainous north, and this single-vineyard bottling from J. Hofstätter, labeled Vigna Steinraffler, comes from the Südtirol Alto Adige in the 2020 vintage. The varietal tends toward deep color and firm structure, a red built on cool-climate freshness rather than weight, and Hofstätter draws it from a named site rather than a broad regional blend.
