GRAN LAREYN Lagrein Riserva 2018

He is showing an intensive red garnet colour, with a pleasant smell of violets and blackberries, and with a lightly note of fume. The taste is full and velvetly, the acidity shows a georgeous terroir, with an acerb tone. The finish is smooth and quite long. 100% vegan! It goes well with venison, red meat and mature cheese.

At the corral Formigar, where prince Tocol once celebrated parties, where the wine warmed up the hearts of his guests, the harpist Lareyn was playing songs of the mountains and of the dark myths from earlier times, which belongs to the empire of the silver mountains, to the tables of heroes of Ey de Nét, Men de Fiér and Dolasilla. (Extract from the book of Hubert Mumelter “Wine from Rätien”).

Best with venison, roasts, dark meat or hard cheese.

Satisfied with Quality and Quantity The 2018 wine harvest began early in Alto Adige, with lower elevations starting to pick as early as August 20. And toward the end of September, most of the grapes were already in the wineries – well matured and in reasonable numbers. With the white wines, Alto Adige’s winegrowers and winemakers are without exception very satisfied. With the red wines, 2018 will be a great year for Cabernet and Merlot, but also for Pinot Noir and Lagrein. (Südtirol Wein)
