Alois Lageder celebrated their 200th anniversary last year in the heart of the Italian mountains  Mr Lageder is famous for practicing biodynamic viticulture.  He’s incorporated that philosophy into his personal life, calculating the best day of the cycle to get his hair cut, resulting in two less trips to the barber each year!  Terra Alpina is a new line, with estate grapes augmented by fruit from neighbors.  It is a lighter, fresher style than his other wines.  Aged in stainless steel, with three months of lees contact.  Green apple, lemon, white peach, chalky minerality.
