A Fantastic New Addition

We are excited to introduce a new addition to our range from Alois Lageder: Misto Mare. With this wine, the organic and biodynamic movement in Alto Adige is set to continue growing in the future.

Since 2024, the grapes for the Alois Lageder wines have been grown organically or biodynamically, including those from the vineyards of around 60 vintner partners. This marked a major milestone and is the result of a 20-year process. Achieving this goal also means that from the 2024 vintage onwards, all wines will be organically or biodynamically certified – except for one: Misto Mare.
To enable collaboration with new vintner partners who are transitioning to organic farming, they have created this new wine. It is an assemblage of grapes from vineyards that are not yet certified.

We hope that interest in organic and biodynamic viticulture will continue to grow in the future and that we can attract new vintners to work with us – new partners are more than welcome. Misto Mare will serve as a gateway for vintners who are converting to organic farming and need to wait three years for certification.

In its first vintage, Misto Mare brings together over 14 grape varieties from new partners, including both white and red varieties, sourced from various regions of Alto Adige, spanning different altitudes and soils.

The charm of Misto Mare also lies in its dynamic  character: Misto Mare can be different every year, as the grape varieties may  vary. Once the grapes are certified, they become part of the main range, while  grapes from new vintners take their place.
The Wine
Misto Mare moves between worlds—between mellowness and fruit, depth and lightness. Up front, it reveals a fruity character, which transitions on the finish to a moderate acidity that lingers, accompanied by its silky texture. Misto Mare travels in many directions, yet these do not create dissonance but rather come together as a harmonious whole.
About the name
Misto Mare is a blend of various grape varieties from Alto Adige. 200 million years ago, the region was covered by a huge ocean, whose marine sediments contributed to the formation of the Dolomites. With a playful nod to this history, Misto Mare becomes, symbolically, a mix from the sea.
