lagrin

There is no doubt that today its name evokes quality South Tyrolean viticulture and in fact this autochthonous vine has a very long history that even dates back to the Middle Ages, but as a white berried grape. The first mention as grape/red wine dates back to 1525 and only from the 1990s is it produced in purity (Lagrein Dunkel) or in the Rosé version (Lagrein Kretzer); before it was mainly used as a blending wine. The most suitable areas for its cultivation are Gries, at the gates of Bolzano, and Lake Caldaro. It is a wine with good structure, acidity and also has a certain tannic texture, elements that guarantee it excellent longevity, especially in the Riserva version. As regards its organoleptic characteristics, it has a quite intense ruby red colour. On the palate it is fruity, tannic, full-bodied, with a strong and, at the same time, intriguing character.
