Its characteristic velvety fullness and soft acidity make it a very interesting wine to try. Flavours of ripe plums and violets combine with noble, spicy tones. Its velvety tannins and wintergreen finish make it a perfect match for hearty Italian dishes and sharp cheeses. The grape is grown in the shadow of the majestic Dolomites, so it's not difficult to see why it is so popular.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLagrein Wine a Northern Italian Classic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe grape is native to Trentino, in northern Italy. It is considered one of the oldest varieties of grape in the area. Its history dates back to 1379, but its current presence is only limited in this area. Although Lagrein is closely related to Schiava Gentile and Cabernet Franc, the latter is arguably the most famous. While it shares similar characteristics with both, this variety is much more complex than the former.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLike its neighbour, Sangiovese, Lagrein is an ancient grape variety that grows in sunny vineyards in Alto Adige. It has a deep, full-bodied flavour and mellow tannins. This varietal is packed with flavours of dark berry fruits, including chocolate and violet. Its acidity and freshness make it a perfect red wine for hot summer days.

It grows best in the deep, warm soil of Bolzano (Gries) and the area known as Unterland (Kurtatsch), which arose out of loamy sand deposits from rivers and streams. The Frauenrigl wine-growing area is a very warm site, directly above the Wine Road and northwest of the village of Kurtatsch. Here, Lagrein reaches optimum ripeness and can bring its full potential to fruition. The seductive Frauenrigl has opulent fruit, including wild berries, elderberries, black cherry and cocoa beans. The wine takes on balsamic tannins as it matures in barrique. During subsequent aging in large wooden barrels, the fine toasting of the wood and zesty acidity attain a harmonious balance with the powerful, fruity body. It is said that the best Lagrein not only shows great concentration and length in the finish, but also a unique earthy note. The loamy soil is responsible for the wine's typical site characteristics, which gives a piquant spiciness to the long and exquisitely fruity finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour: \u003c\/strong\u003eDense Garnet\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLagrein\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Zone:  \u003c\/strong\u003eMidway down the slopes of Kurtatsch\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eDeep, warm, loamy sandy soil\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification\u003c\/strong\u003e : Temperature-constricted fermentation in rotor tanks and aging in oak barrels for 12 months (15% new wood), followed by storage in large wooden barrels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"beschreibung\"\u003eStorage potential:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e7 - 10 years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"beschreibung\"\u003eTotal acidity:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 5,4 g\/l\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"beschreibung\"\u003eResidual sugar:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 1,8 g\/l\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"beschreibung\"\u003eSoil: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep, warm, loamy sandy soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTERROIR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1408\/3394\/files\/Territorio-vino-Lagrein-Frauenrigl_large.jpg?v=1559108936\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFRAUENRIGL 280-350M\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn former times, \u003cem\u003eRigl\u003c\/em\u003e meant “small plot of land” in South Tyrol. \u003cem\u003eFrauenrigl \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eFrauen\u003c\/em\u003e = women) derived from the fact that women were frequently the property owners in this situation.
