The flagship wine of Egger Ramer, 'Kristan Riserva', comes from a single vineyard in the premier Bolzano-Gries zone, at 250 meters above sea level. Fruit for the Riserva is left on the vine a bit longer to ensure more concentration and maximum development. The vines range from 70-80 years old, and the wine spends over a year aging in large barriques.
Nestled in the alpine town of Bolzano, Egger Ramer are renowned for their exceptional Lagrein. In 2018, fifth-generation winemaker Peter Egger was awarded “Best Lagrein in Alto Adige”, a reflection of his commitment to and passion for this grape, as well as his remarkable winemaking ability.
The wine is ruby to deep garnet red in the glass, with aromas of violet and blackberry. Full and velvety on the palate, the wine displays an earthy finish and ample tannins. Ideally matched with roasts, ragu, osso bucco, steak or sharp, mature cheeses.
