Wine Description for Misto Mare IGT 2025 by Alois Lageder
- Character
- The Misto Mare embodies Alois Lageder’s philosophy of light, easy-drinking white wines with a Mediterranean touch. With a moderate 11.5% alcohol content and dry style, this IGT presents itself as an uncomplicated summer wine that puts freshness and accessibility front and centre. The name „Misto Mare“ – mixed sea – hints at a blend of various grape varieties that are typically native to South Tyrol and lend the wine its multifaceted personality.
- Terroir & Origin
- South Tyrol, this unique alpine wine region between the Austrian mountains and Mediterranean influence, offers ideal conditions for elegant white wines. The Lageder winery in Margreid manages vineyards across various sites, where pronounced day-night temperature fluctuations create lively acidity structures. The IGT classification allows the winemaker creative freedom in grape selection and vinification – a deliberate step away from rigid DOC regulations towards a contemporary, terroir-focused wine philosophy.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Alois Lageder, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in South Tyrol, focuses on authenticity and craftsmanship in his entry-level wines. The Misto Mare is likely vinified from a combination of local varieties such as Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, possibly complemented by indigenous varietals. Vinification follows the Lageder philosophy with a gentle hand and minimal intervention to preserve natural fruitiness and minerality. The moderate alcohol content underscores the focus on drinkability over concentration.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- An ideal companion to Mediterranean summer cuisine: grilled fish, seafood, antipasti and light pasta dishes harmonise beautifully. Also an excellent choice with asparagus, goat’s cheese salads or Asian dishes with lemongrass. Its freshness makes it the perfect aperitif wine for convivial evenings.
