The 2018 Santa Magdalena Huck am Bach from Kellerei Bozen is a blend of 90% Schiava and 10% Lagrein matured in large neutral oak. Here I find a bouquet of medicinal black cherry, wild herbs, dusty roses and hints of balsamic spice. It’s soft and enveloping, soothing with ripe red and dark blue fruits, as purple inner florals amass toward the close. Hints of round tannin linger along with a note of brown spice that adds an attractive richness.
