In the glass, it presents a very intense ruby red colour, revealing a clear bouquet of raspberry, redcurrant, and blackberry, enriched by elegant hints of vanilla. On the palate, it offers a full and lively structure, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e in perfect harmony with a measured freshness, leading to a persistent finish. This balanced complexity makes it ideal for accompanying \u003cstrong\u003emeat-based first courses\u003c\/strong\u003e and savoury preparations such as chicken cacciatore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLagrein grapes grow on the foothill belts of the Adige Valley and Vallagarina, including the alluvial fans of Besenello. The vineyards sit on \u003cstrong\u003eglacial and morainic terraces\u003c\/strong\u003e with brown, gravelly, and well-drained soils, which in Vallagarina become calcareous and rich in clay. The environment benefits from a \u003cstrong\u003esub-continental climate\u003c\/strong\u003e with significant temperature variations between day and night. The constant influence of the \u003cstrong\u003eOra del Garda\u003c\/strong\u003e breeze ensures slow ripening of the bunches, allowing for an optimal accumulation of all aromatic substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe red vinification process takes place in \u003cstrong\u003esmall stainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature. This phase ensures a \u003cstrong\u003elong maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins, essential for extracting colour and defining the structure. Subsequently, the wine is transferred to small oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and continues its maturation. Careful \u003cstrong\u003eageing in wood\u003c\/strong\u003e allows the tannins to be smoothed and the entire flavour profile to be made harmonious, resulting in a sip with a clear, precise, and pleasantly persistent character.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCultivated since the 16th century by the Benedictine Fathers, the \u003cstrong\u003enative Lagrein grape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e is a flagship of Cavit's Bottega Vinai range. Its deep connection with the Trentino region suggests that the name itself derives from the Vallagarina valley. In autumn, the leaves take on evocative reddish-brown hues, while \u003cstrong\u003erigorous yields of 50 hectolitres per hectare\u003c\/strong\u003e guarantee excellent aromatic concentration. This ancient tradition gives life to an \u003cstrong\u003eaward-winning red wine\u003c\/strong\u003e, globally recognised with gold medals and prestigious international trophies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cavit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47662187806891,"sku":"62377","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/bottega-vinai-lagrein-trentino-2023_62377_1_8f5b97fe-e818-4f80-88db-64b641f29f7b.webp?v=1788437733","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-be\/products\/bottega-vinai-lagrein-trentino-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
