Lagrein
Lagrein is a full-bodied, enveloping red grape that offers surprising interpretations: dark and garnet-coloured in the Dunkel version, but also ruby-red or rosé in the Kretzer type, it impresses with its structure, elegance and personality. It is grown throughout South Tyrol, but its favourite and most important area is in the Bolzano region, where the high temperature ranges between night and day, and the clay and limestone soil with gravel subsoil give it a magnificent intensity and characteristic freshness. A deep, impenetrable colour, aromas of violets, blackberries, spices and undergrowth, with hints of dark chocolate, soft tannins that embrace the palate, and a characteristic, unmistakable spiciness make it a perfect pairing with game, cheese, mushrooms, typical salami and red meat.
