The color appears dense and clear, with elegant transparency, as if made for pleasurable red wine moments from the mountains of South Tyrol. Already at the first swirl, an intense aroma rises, delicate yet seductive, with pronounced fruit and fine spice.

On the nose it opens with ripe blackberry and dark black cherry, dense and juicy. Notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of clove join in. Ripe wild berries, a touch of sour cherry, a suggestion of violets and dried herbs round out the picture. In the background shimmers a subtle mineral note, like fine stones after summer rain, recalling the alpine terroir of Trentino–South Tyrol.

The tannins appear silky, ripe, and very fine, giving support without dominating.

Production of Voglia IGT from Weingut Röck

The grapes for this wine come from selected sites in Trentino–South Tyrol. The vineyards are situated on sun-drenched slopes with cool nights, which promotes freshness and aromatic depth. Soils of limestone, slate, and moraine debris give the vines tension and a light mineral grip. This interplay of altitude, cool climate, and diverse soils lends the wine its distinctive, elegant character.

Pinot Noir and Zweigelt grow here in carefully tended vineyards. Pinot Noir brings finesse, delicate berry notes, and floral accents. Zweigelt complements this lightness with dark berry fruit, a juicy core, and a finely spicy character. Thus, already in the vineyard, the foundation is laid for a harmonious cuvée that stylishly unites freshness and depth.

The harvest takes place at the optimal moment of ripeness, when fruit, acidity, and tannin are in a balanced ratio. Selective picking guarantees only ripe, aromatic grapes. In the cellar, a gentle processing follows, placing the character of the grape varieties and the terroir at the center.

After destemming and a short maceration period, fermentation begins. The must remains in contact with the berry skins so that color, aroma, and tannins pass into the young wine. Fermentation at moderate temperatures preserves the fresh fruit and fine spice. Depending on the lot, maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks or in wood, in order to further refine structure and depth.

Maturation on the fine lees gives the wine additional fullness and a creamy, velvety texture. Regular stirring of the lees, bâtonnage, provides more volume and a harmonious integration of the acidity. The maturation proceeds deliberately calm and gentle, so that every component of the wine finds its place and the cuvée later appears complete.

The producer places strong focus on precise fruit, clear origin, and fine tannin structure. Wood supports the wine but never steps into the foreground. Thus, Voglia IGT from Weingut Röck presents a modern style that is nevertheless deeply rooted in the Old World: elegant, full of character, with a clear reference to its alpine homeland.

Serving recommendations for Voglia IGT from Weingut Röck

This red wine made from Pinot Noir and Zweigelt accompanies a wide variety of dishes with style. It shows its most charming side with classic Italian cuisine. With antipasti of air-dried ham, mild bacon, and grilled vegetables, it creates an especially appealing combination. Its fruit and spice pick up the aromas and carry them further.

The wine harmonizes very well with pasta in tomato-based sauces, such as penne all’arrabbiata or spaghetti with a sauce of braised tomatoes and herbs. Lasagne with beef and gently braised ragout is also an excellent match, as the fine tannins provide structure without seeming heavy.

The wine also shows great charm with poultry dishes. Pan-fried duck breast with cherries or orange jus, a juicy oven-roasted chicken with Mediterranean herbs, or rabbit ragout with root vegetables all receive an elegant accompaniment from this cuvée. The dark berry fruit and hint of pepper complement the aromas of the meat very harmoniously.

Lighter meat dishes made from veal, such as saltimbocca, or pink roasted lamb chops with rosemary also pair convincingly with this wine. For vegetarians, dishes like mushroom risotto, grilled aubergines with Parmesan, ratatouille, or oven-roasted vegetables with thyme and garlic are recommended. Medium-aged hard and semi-hard cheeses, such as mountain cheese or mildly matured Pecorino, round off the spectrum.

As a companion for a relaxed evening with friends, this wine is an ideal choice. It suits a hearty snack platter, pizza with salami or prosciutto, but also simply a good book on the sofa. At a festive dinner it sets stylish accents without overshadowing the menu, and thanks to its elegant character it is also an excellent gift.

For optimal enjoyment, a serving temperature between 15 and 18 degrees is recommended. A short period of aeration in a decanter before drinking opens up the aromas and smooths the tannins even further. In rounded red wine glasses with a slightly tapering rim, the wine reveals its full range. With appropriate storage, it will continue to develop over several years and noticeably deepen its spicy and fruity nuances.
