Tramin Lagrein
Wine Description
Made from 100% Lagrein from southern Alto Adige. After a short maceration, the must is fermented for several days. During maceration, the skins are constantly pushed down in the juice to obtain greater color extraction. Part of the wine is aged for 8 to 10 months in bottle, and part is aged in barriques, to ensure greater finesse and smoothness.
