Lagrein
Dark deep ruby, velvety berry aromas, hints of violets, well integrated tannins, full-bodied, long.
A true child of Alto Adige, Lagrein is the oldest indigenous grape variety in the region and is closely related to Syrah and Teroldego. The heat-loving Lagrein develops an inviting, distinctive nose of blueberry, blackberry, and violets, and hints of vanilla and tobacco leaf. The toasty aromas and vital acidity form a harmonious combination to intrigue the palate. The finish is long and persistent.
Manual harvesting and selection of the grapes. Destemming and mash fermentation under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, ageing in stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels for 12 months. Assemblage 2 to 3 months before bottling, followed by 6 months’ ageing in the bottle.
