Tasting Note: This Lagrein is beautifully perfumed and expressive, with vibrant notes of blackcurrant, blackberries, and rose petals, complemented by hints of earth, black pepper, and rosemary. Intensely structured yet approachable, its ripe, velvety tannins make it a perfect match for rich meat dishes. While already captivating in its youth, this rare gem will evolve gracefully over 10–15 years, rewarding those who can wait. Tasted – April 2025 by Andrea Martinisi.
Winemaking Notes: “A few days of cold maceration precede a long, cool wild fermentation, followed by gentle pressing into a single 500L French puncheon for malolactic fermentation. Aged on fine lees for 24 months, this rare Italian varietal remains unfined (vegan) and unfiltered, preserving its purity and depth. A wine that first captivated me as a young winemaker, inspired by one of the vignerons I admired in Alto Adige.” – Hans Herzog
