Alois Lageder Misto Mare 25

Fourteen grapes, one glass, and a prehistoric sea. Misto Mare is Alois Lageder’s newest idea: a sweeping field blend of 14 red and white varieties, picked across the family’s biodynamically farmed sites at different altitudes, soils, and microclimates throughout Alto Adige, then vinified together as a white. The name is a wink — misto for the mix of grapes and places, mare for the ancient sea that once covered these Dolomite valleys and left its minerality in the rock. The glass delivers more than a novelty: white flowers and lemon zest up front, bright citrus through the middle, then a savory, umami-tinged undertow and crunchy mineral finish that keeps you going back. From the same six-generation Magrè estate behind your Schiava, at a friendly price for serious biodynamic farming — aperitivo hour, seafood (naturally), fried anything, or the “surprise me” customer.
