Fermentation in stainless steel followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation in barriques. Blending after almost one year, then maturation for 10 more months in stainless steel.
Deep ruby. Complex aromas of fresh forest fruit, cherry, cocoa and coffee on the nose. Powerful and full-bodied on the palate with freshness, ripe tannins and a long finish. Tremendous ageing potential.
The vineyards in and around Bolzano offer an ideal terroir for the Lagrein grape to scale the proverbial heights. The fruit for this wine grows on the exposed south-east-facing slope that forms part of the Wangger farm in Leitach at the entrance to the Isarco Valley. The soils here are comprised of moraine debris and sandy alluvium.
