Description
Lagrein, one of the three grape varieties of Alto Adige, is a deep and intense red, which in certain years tends towards violet tones. Its bouquet is very intense and broad, running from ripe red fruits to violets, to spicy notes of fresh grass and cocoa. On the palate it seduces with its decisive personality, its solid and velvety tannins and its enjoyable full bodiedness, ending with a long and enveloping finale. The wine can be drunk young; aging in the bottle however makes it rounder and more harmonious.
After having been carefully selected in the field, the grapes are delicately separated from their stems and fermented in open vats. To avoid the excessive extraction of tannins, during the wine-making process the must are not excessively pumped over the marc. After the fermentation the wine is racked into barriques where the malolactic fermentation takes place and the wine ages for 15 months. Finally it is aged in the bottle for a few months.
Alcohol: 13,00 % Vol.
