History The grape is most probably native to the region, and is thought to take its name from the town of Val Lagarina in Trentino. It has certainly been grown in this area for hundreds of years, and is first mentioned in texts that date back as far as the 16th Century. Other theories give Lagrein a Greek origin, suggesting that it is closely related to wines that were once made around the city of Lagaria in Greece.

Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety With the lagrein you get an intense and deep ruby ​​red wine with a fine and fruity scent, enriched with some plant notes and some purple memories, which with refinement are enriched with balsamic notes and chocolate. The taste is dry and sapid, well balanced in the qualities of freshness and softness, while the tannic component is not aggressive, but it contributes to an elegant structure that makes this wine suitable for refining.
Notes Resistance to parasites: just discreet to ojidium and deworming; Resistant to rotting; A bit subject to mites.
