Regent is a Piwi, a fungus-resistant grape variety, and the red complement to the orange-coloured Ambra made from Souvignier Gris.
The vines grow virtually untreated on soils characterised by gneiss and granite on a steep slope near Naturno in the northern Adige Valley. The grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented partially uncrushed (maceration semicarbonique) for 10 days. The "Lato scuro" is matured for over a year in used tonneaux and barriques before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
A light-footed wine that nevertheless has depth. It goes perfectly with Schlutzers, but also cuts a fine figure with a Brassato. With. An elegant body and a long, velvety, fruity finish.
