Lagrein

Lagrein: the identity red of South Tyrol

The Lagrein collection brings together some of the most representative interpretations of one of the emblematic grape varieties of South Tyrol. It is a wine that combines depth, character, and finesse, with a recognizable profile made of dark fruit, spicy notes, and a firm yet harmonious tannic structure. In this selection, you will find labels capable of telling the story of the territory in different styles, from the most immediate versions to the Riservas and selected vineyards.

Lagrein originates in a unique alpine context, where temperature fluctuations and valley soils favor wines of great personality. The interpretations present in this collection particularly enhance the different souls of the grape variety, balancing structure, freshness, and complexity, offering an overview suitable for both those who wish to delve deeper into the denomination and those looking for an important bottle for the table.

An Alto Adige grape variety with a strong identity

Lagrein is known for its intense color, aromatic richness, and ability to express the territory with immediacy. In the more classic versions, it offers a smooth and generous sip, while in the Riservas, a greater gustatory depth emerges, with aging that enhances its complexity. This selection also features labels linked to single vineyards and crus, ideal for those seeking a more vertical, precise, and territorial Lagrein.

Among the wineries present, notable references include Abbazia di Novacella, Andriano - Kellerei Andrian, Cantina Produttori Bolzano Kellerei Bozen, Cantina di Terlano - Kellerei Terlan, Elena Walch, Ignaz Niedrist, Manincor, and Tenuta J. Hofstätter. The presence of different interpretations makes the collection particularly interesting for comparing styles and production nuances.

How to choose the right Lagrein

If you are looking for a wine that is easy to drink but with personality, focus on the more immediate versions. If, on the other hand, you desire a deeper and more structured red, the Riserva and single vineyard labels are ideal for a more complete tasting. Lagrein also lends itself well to aging, especially when it comes from careful selections and wineries that work attentively on aromatic definition and tannin management.

  • For everyday dining: Lagrein with a more agile and fruity profile.
  • For special occasions: Riserva and crus with greater complexity.
  • For those who love structured reds: Lagrein with tannic texture and intensity.
  • To compare different styles: labels from different wineries and production areas.

Pairings and consumption moments

Lagrein naturally accompanies flavorful and structured dishes. It is particularly suitable for roasted meats, braised dishes, game, aged cheeses, and preparations from mountain cuisine. The fresher and more immediate versions can also be served in less formal settings, while the Riservas find their best dimension in richer pairings or during tastings, when one wants to appreciate their evolution in the glass.

Discover the Lagrein selection and let yourself be guided through the different interpretations of this great Alto Adige red, to find the bottle that best suits your taste and your table.
