Lagrein

Made from 100% Lagrein from southern Alto Adige, a deeply colored grape which is believed to have originated in the Lagarina valley of Trentino. After a short but intense maceration, the wine is aged in a combination of small and large oak casks to ensure softer tannins and greater finesse.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby-red in color, this classic Lagrein offers intense and complex aromas of cocoa, cinnamon, wild berries and violets. Harmonious on the palate, with fine tannins, it is full-bodied and velvety.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs extremely well with roasted game, pork or lamb, and flavorful cheese.
