Alois Lageder 'Misto Mare' White Blend 2024 Alto Adige, Italy

Six generations of the Lageder family have crafted exceptional wines in Alto Adige, embracing biodynamic principles since 2004. This innovative blend represents their commitment to sustainable viticulture, showcasing grapes from partner vineyards transitioning to organic certification across the diverse terroir of the Dolomites. The name "Misto Mare" pays homage to the ancient Tethys Ocean that once covered this mountainous region 200 million years ago, when marine sediments helped form the spectacular Dolomite peaks.

Tasting Notes

Clear straw yellow in color with a subtly aromatic, multi-layered nose revealing white flowers, lemon zest, white peach, and delicate sea spray minerality. Medium-bodied and fresh on the palate with bright citrus flavors, green apple notes, savory umami elements, and a hint of tannin that adds lively structure. The wine displays a crunchy minerality characteristic of Alpine whites, finishing long and persistent with hints of wet stone and alpine herbs.

Food Pairings

Grilled branzino with lemon and capers, asparagus risotto with Parmigiano-Reggiano, seared scallops in white wine butter sauce, Vietnamese fresh spring rolls
