LR: PURE PASSION
LR was officially presented in the autumn of 2014. Since then, four vintages of this exclusive cuvée have been launched on the market, becoming a cult object for lovers of special wines.
Although LR has only existed for a few years, the idea for its creation dates back many years, particularly to the time when Luis Raifer, the undisputed pioneer of South Tyrolean viticulture, was president and director of Cantina Colterenzio. He wanted to "Produce an exclusive wine that could excite a very demanding clientele and at the same time strengthen the image and prestige of Colterenzio."
After many trials and experiments to identify the right varieties, LR 2011 was finally born in 2014: Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, and Gewürztraminer (2015 vintage without Gewürztraminer), important grape varieties for Colterenzio, which, left to mature on the lees and aged in wood, compose this extraordinary cuvée. A structured and elegant wine, presented in a refined packaging, capable of exciting.
A transparent bottle through which one can glimpse the label, in baroque style, depicting a Dionysian scene, different for each vintage. A fine metal net wraps the bottle, like the filigree of a Renaissance corset, giving it an elegant and unique appearance. The vintages now produced, 2011, 2012, 2013, and the new 2015 vintage, can be found in the most exclusive restaurants, where sommeliers and industry experts are fascinated by the wine and its extraordinary packaging.
THE WINE
'LR' are the initials of Luis Raifer, the great inspirer of this wine. Raifer was for many years the president and director of Cantina Colterenzio as well as one of the pioneers of the qualitative revolution.
After several years and various attempts to identify the right varieties, LR was finally born. Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, and Gewürztraminer, aged on the lees and matured in wood, compose this cuvée with an important structure and feminine elegance. Femininity that also wants to be conveyed through an external wrapper, unique in its kind for its elegance and refinement.
THE COMPANY
Archduke Sigismund, residing at Castel Firmiano in the 15th century, was not the first to appreciate the good wine of Colterenzio. In fact, as early as around 15 B.C., the Roman colonist Cornelius recognized the extraordinary fertility of this land and decided to settle here, thus laying the foundations for the current winemaking vocation of Colterenzio. His estate "Cornelianum," which gave its name to the town of Cornaiano, stood on a nearby hill. The ancient tradition was renewed in 1960, when 28 winemakers founded Cantina Colterenzio. Over the years, others joined them, and today Colterenzio counts nearly 300 passionate winemaker members who supply grapes from approximately 300 hectares of vineyards they own.
