Lagrein - Alto Adige Lagrein, DOC
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 related to Syrah and Teroldego. The heat-loving Lagrein develops an inviting, distinctive nose of blueberry, blackberry and violet, 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 harvest and selection of the grapes. Destemming and mash fermentation under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, ageing in stainless steel tanks (80%) and French barriques for 12 months. Assemblage 2 to 3 months before bottling followed by 6 months’ ageing in the bottle.
