Lagrein is native to the vineyards of Alto-Adige in the north Italian alps. The grape has deep colour pigments to the grape and can make deep, tannic wines. Although in recent years, growers have been drawn to its peppery aromatics and elegant side, and a new style is emerging that sees wines with brighter fruit and softer tannic structure.
There's lots of depth of cherry fruit concentration with a range of peppery aromatics and floral notes, and it has a lovely balance between freshness and depth of flavour.
