TRENTO - LAGREIN  I have the honor to present to you Mme. Walch from northern Italy. « Alto Adige » is an autonomous region of Trentino-Alto also called South Tyrol. 25 years ago it was hard to believe that there would be a women representing important vineyards, she told us. The shortage of women in the practice of wine making was not a reason to keep her from her dreams, on the contrary, it fueled her passion to continue working. She is also an architect and loves hiking. Now she feels completely satisfied with her accomplishments and we can clearly appreciate her happiness through her wines. This time I tasted : Lagrein Riserva "Vigna Castel Rinberg" 2012 |
Vivid Blackcurrants color, with lightly reflects of garnet red and dense tears.
On the nose: aromas of figs and prunes with cocoa very light notes of spices and wood.
On mouth: neat tannins and strong structure, nice equilibrium between the strongness connection of the sour fruit, the meaty tannins and the oak. Long and nice ending on the palate.
Food pairing : l tasted it with a french cheese platter and was just amazing!
Art pairing: Three ladies with parasol (aka Three Graces)
Artist: Marie Bracquemond
Created: 1880
Period: Impressionism

She has cultivated 60 hectares, including the vineyards VIGNA Castel Ringberg and VIGNA Kastelaz. Elena Walch is one of the most important winemakers in the region. The Walch wines will remain in the hands of women. The vineyard will now be ran by Julia and Karoline Walch, her daughters and the fifth generation of the family. She would like to share with women « that wine connects and makes the world a pleasurable place, but people should know all the hard work behind a wine bottle. »
