“Terroir”, as the French say, in a bottle. A wine that can stand up to Stilton and gets along superbly with game.

Lagrein is one of the three indigenous varieties in Alto Adige. He is related to the Teroldego and Syrah. Typical for this species are the dark red color and fruity berry flavors that are paired with spicy-resinous notes of chocolate, tobacco and forest floor.

The 2023 winegrowing year was characterized by changeable weather and the resulting increased work in the vineyard. A snow-deficient winter and a warm March accelerated the start of vegetation. A typical April and a rainy May led to flowering close to the long-term average. June was unstable, with heat waves and drought. July brought a lot of rain coupled with some very hot days. Despite extreme temperature fluctuations in August, a golden autumn brought us a successful grape harvest with very good grape qualities overall.

– dark, deep red
– ripe fruit aromas of plums and blackberries, notes of chocolate and coffee
– voluminous and powerful; soft, balanced tannins, lingering finish

This wine is best paired with game, darker meats and hard cheeses.

Fermentation on the skins at 28 °C with an extended maceration of ten days, malolactic fermentation followed by a 4-month ageing in concrete cask, large oak casks (75hl) and 15% in barrique.

South- and east-facing slopes around at an altitude of 230 – 350 meters above sea level. Loamy, chalky gravel with a low proportion of sand.
