Description
Named for Luis Raifer, President and CEO of Colterenzio for many years, whose work did much to advance the wines of Alto Adige, LR is an exclusive, distinctive, terroir-driven wine, crafted to excite the most discerning and demanding of palates. Fruit from carefully-selected vineyards between 400m and 500m elevation in the vicinity of Cornaiano is pressed gently, fermented and then aged in oak barrels. It is always bottle-aged for a minimum of 12 months before release. Presenting alluring aromas of tropical fruits, it is both full-bodied and precise, with a long, refined finish. This cuvée of the choicest Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon Blanc is capable of ageing 8-10 years.
