"The 2023 Rosato Tre Torri, 100% Carignano, is extremely charming. It is ruby red in colour in the glass and captivates from start to finish with its lively cherry berry fruit and the juiciness of blood orange. A hint of dusty, peppery tannin emerges towards the end and leaves you with the feeling of having eaten a slice of watermelon at a picnic table on a hot day - the juice runs down your chin. This is summer in a glass." Vinous

The RIFF project is a cooperation between Alois Lageder and local winegrowers in the Veneto region, where the grapes also thrive in selected vineyards. Since the 2018 vintage, the popular RIFF Pinot Grigio delle Venezie is not only certified organic, but has also been given a new look by Austrian artist Nanna Prieler. On the label, segments of stylised ammonites tell the story of the formation of the mountain landscape on which the vines for the Pinot Grigio RIFF now stand: From the ocean with its coral reefs to the unique terroir in which many fossils of former ocean dwellers can still be discovered today.

Bright light yellow with greenish shimmer. The aroma is finely fruity, floral-mineral with delicate notes of tropical fruits.
