This is a true discovery wine. High on the slopes near the town of Trento, the vineyards of the farmer-owned co-op of Cantina Cortaccia produce high quality white and red wines. The favored local grape is Lagrein, which yields a deeply colored wine with Bordeaux-like flavors of wild berries. The tannins are firm, but the finish is smooth and lingering, inviting another sip of this true discovery wine.
