Lagrein South Tyrol Alto Adige

A.A. Lagrein DOC "Graf" 2022

As an indigenous, heavy red wine variety, the extract-rich, full-bodied Lagrein is among the leading varieties in our region. Essentially it only grows in the sandy soils in the warmest valley locations in South Tyrol. Consistent regulation of the yield of the old vines results in wines of an unmistakable, velvety fullness and elegance.

A great, authentic South Tyrolean pleasure.
