In the glass, it reveals a very intense ruby colour, while the aromatic profile stands out for its enveloping hints of plum, blackberry and wild berries, skilfully intertwined with notes of \u003cstrong\u003echocolate, tobacco and undergrowth\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied and voluminous, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003ejuicy and well-integrated tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e. The powerful structure resolves in a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for accompanying roasts, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lagrein grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003ehillside vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Alto Adige region, located at an altitude between 230 and 350 metres above sea level. The vines benefit from optimal exposure to the south and east, growing on \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in gravel and stones. The pergola and espalier training systems allow the plants to develop at their best, ensuring perfect ripening of the bunches. These particular environmental conditions give the wine an \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic character\u003c\/strong\u003e and an inherently elegant style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process begins with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature for about ten days, necessary to extract colour and polyphenolic substances. This is followed by malolactic fermentation, which softens the flavour profile. Maturation continues for several months in cement and steel tanks, along with the use of \u003cstrong\u003elarge barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and barriques. This management of \u003cstrong\u003ewood and steel ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e consolidates the tannic structure and enhances the clarity of the aromas, giving great balance to the sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true expression of \u003cstrong\u003eKellerei Kaltern\u003c\/strong\u003e, Lagrein is among the most noble \u003cstrong\u003enative grape varieties of South Tyrol\u003c\/strong\u003e, historically related to Teroldego and Syrah.
