Made from Lagrein grapes, it stands out for its structured style and prolonged persistence, supported by \u003cstrong\u003erobust yet velvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The aromatic bouquet is broad, characterised by clear notes of ripe red fruits and violet. On the palate, the evolution reveals hints of spices, fresh grass and cocoa, finishing with an \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping finale\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched by maturation in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are located in Alto Adige, situated in \u003cstrong\u003esunny sites\u003c\/strong\u003e with south and south-west exposure. Positioned between 220 and 250 metres above sea level, the rows benefit from an ideal microclimate for the ripening of Lagrein, a \u003cstrong\u003elate-ripening grape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e. The warm, deep soils of alluvial origin, rich in gravel, work in synergy with the local climate. This natural balance gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-defined phenolic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and a distinct tannic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter selection, the grapes are gently destemmed and sent for \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in open vats\u003c\/strong\u003e. Pump-overs, punch-downs and aerations are limited to balance the extraction of tannins. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for ten to twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process is completed with a resting phase of several months, a final step that gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003esofter\u003c\/strong\u003e and more harmonious profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeir to a tradition that began in 1880, the 2024 vintage celebrates the passion of the seventh Franz Haas generation. Under the care of Stefano Tiefenthaler, the artisanal craftsmanship enhances the grapes through a measured extraction of tannins. The wine ferments in open vats with gentle aeration, then rests in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for ten or twelve months. This skilful process, completed by bottle ageing, gives the \u003cstrong\u003epure Lagrein\u003c\/strong\u003e a perfect balance, symbolising a \u003cstrong\u003econstant pursuit of perfection\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Franz Haas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46402157314219,"sku":"61006","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/franz-haas-lagrein-2024_61006_1_f4bdd9e8-be8a-480f-82a6-353b6ece0302.webp?v=1776356506","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-fi\/products\/franz-haas-lagrein-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
