Andriano Rubeno Lagrein Alto Adige 2023 750ml

The Lagrein varietal dates to the 17th century in this region, thus it is recognized as one of the oldest in the Sud Tyrol area. Lagrein is noted for the deep red color it gives the wine and its unique fruity/spicy flavor profile. The grapes are handpicked and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks that also ensure the gentle must movement of the wine. For malolactic fermentation the wine is transferred to large oak casks where the wine rests until bottled. Grape varieties: Lagrein Altitude: 250 m ASL Exposure: Northeast/Southeast Soil: Red clay soil with gravel and stones Alcohol: 13.5% Tasting notes: This garnet-red wine has hues of violet-purple. The aroma is intense with aromas of berries and violet flowers. In the mouth the wine is silky soft and round with a hint of spice. It is full-bodied with nicely integrated tannins and a persistent elegant finish.
