Alois Lageder Riff Merlot Cabernet DOC

Alois Lageder's Riff Merlot Cabernet is a Trentino-Alto Adige red blend anchored by 60% Merlot, with 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Lagrein contributing depth and regional character. The wine opens with dominant dark plum and black cherry fruit, supported by blackberry undertones and a subtle herbaceous edge. Medium-full body and balanced medium tannins make this a versatile food wine, equally at home with grilled red meat, braised beef, or tomato-based pasta. Earthy and tobacco notes emerge on the finish, adding complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward profile.
