An IGT blend of 70% Viognier and 30% Petit Manseng, the 2015 Casòn Hirschprunn Tenutae Lageder is a bold, full-bodied white that shows generous oak influences but with balanced precision. The wine opens to an off-gold color with toasted, nutty aromas followed by summer peach and dried apricot. The grape I taste with the most distinction is the Viognier, thanks to the creamy, almost oily nature of the mouthfeel and those floral, honey-like endnotes. The finish is soft, layered and slightly sweet. The intensity is bright and bold. Only 6,600 bottles were produced. Sadly, this wine is not available in the United States market.

The 2014 Casòn Hirschprunn Tenutae Lageder (an IGT blend of 70% Viognier and 30% Petit Manseng) is an oak-driven wine with smooth and creamy consistency. It ages on the lees in barrique for 11 months. This is a very interesting wine with a dry, mineral finish and subtle aromatic intensity. The mouthfeel is angular and linear with a long sense of length and importance. This offbeat Italian white should evolve over the next five years, and maybe a bit longer still.

The 2013 Casòn Hirschprunn Tenutae Lageder offers bold lines and honey-like aromas that are soft and soothing. The wine's texture is similarly silky in approach with sweet fruit flavors and fragrant rose potpourri. This biodynamic wine is rich, sophisticated and pristine in terms of its aromatic delivery. The finish is long and satisfying and there's a point of bright acidity that adds energy and brightness. This oak-aged wine represents a blend of Viognier, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
