Lagrein

Made from 100% Lagrein from southern Alto Adige, this deeply colored wine is a classic example of this ancient variety.  After a short but intense maceration, the wine is aged in a combination of large oak casks and cement tanks to ensure softer tannins and greater finesse.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby red in color, this 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.
