Made from Lagrein grapes grown according to biodynamic principles, it displays a cherry red colour with ruby highlights. On the palate, it offers a medium, juicy body, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003elively acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that emphasises its elegance. The bouquet recalls plum and dark berries, enriched with spices, leather and subtle animal notes. The sip finishes with \u003cstrong\u003esoft tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a long finish, characterised by the typical \u003cstrong\u003edelicately bitter aftertaste\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates from vineyards located in the Bolzano basin, on the banks of the Talvera stream, between 230 and 430 metres above sea level. The vines take root in \u003cstrong\u003esandy alluvial soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with a significant presence of gravel and porphyry. This geology, combined with a \u003cstrong\u003every warm microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensures sunny days ideal for the perfect ripening of the grapes, promoting a pronounced aromatic intensity. The deep connection between this \u003cstrong\u003enative grape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e and its land of origin has been historically documented since 1370.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction follows a nature-respecting approach. The grapes undergo \u003cstrong\u003ealcoholic and malolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in steel tanks for about fourteen days, defining the colour and stability of the aromatic profile. Maturation initially takes place in cement and steel vats for about twelve months. The structure evolves further thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eageing in large oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for up to seventeen months, a stage that provides perfect integration of the tannins and a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDocumented as far back as 1370, Lagrein is a noble indigenous grape variety that embodies the essence of South Tyrol. Produced by the historic Alois Lageder winery according to the strict principles of \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e, this red wine comes to life on \u003cstrong\u003esandy alluvial soils\u003c\/strong\u003e in the warm basin of Bolzano. The meticulous ageing process, partly carried out in large oak barrels, gives the wine an elegant and juicy structure. On the palate, it releases intense notes of plum and spices, wrapped in \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that enhance its exceptional harmony and typically slightly bitter finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alois Lageder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46236855533739,"sku":"60509","price":166.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/alois-lageder-lagrein-2023_60509_1_8d8a4f8f-ce3b-442d-ac65-d0c658401899.webp?v=1773811799","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-hk\/products\/alois-lageder-lagrein-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
