Concentrated bright ruby in color, the Reserve del Conte Rosso has a rich, seductive berry fruit and spice nose leads to a remarkably succulent, well-structured palate of white and black pepper, dark chocolate, licorice and damson with silky-textured tannins. Delicious with well-seasoned Mediterranean first courses, peppered lamb steaks and other dishes of fried or grilled red meat.

Blend: 43% Merlot, 35% Lagrein, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon

"Hand-on-Heart"; Manincor wines are naturally pure. The 400 year-old wine estate, carefully and prudently extended by the wine cellar built beneath the vines and hardly noticeable from above, epitomises today the tradition and aspirations of a superior wine culture. The estate's historical buildings date from 1608, built by Hieronymus Manincor. The emperor had endowed him with land beside the Lake of Kaltern for his services to Austria and at the same time raised him to the ranks of the nobility.

For an entry-level wine this has a strikingly original nose of redcurrant, amarena cherry and pomegranate with a whiff of smoke. And on the medium-bodied palate, it effortlessly marries Mediterranean richness with a hint of Alpine freshness. The fine, moderately dry tannins are the secret ingredient that energizes the long, long expressive finish.
