Story: Lagrein Riserva | Classic



The excellence of South Tyrolean wine: Lagrein Riserva in focus
South Tyrol not only stands for picturesque landscapes and Alpine culture, but also for a wine culture that has experienced an unmistakable quality offensive in recent decades. At the heart of this development is the Lagrein Riserva, which is considered the forerunner of the outstanding South Tyrolean Riserva wines. This noble red wine unites the regional identity, the craftsmanship and the natural sophistication of South Tyrol in one glass and lets the connoisseur feel the rich tradition and the tireless quality standards of the winegrowers.

Lagrein: The essence of South Tyrolean down-to-earthness and diversity
Lagrein, an indigenous grape variety of South Tyrol, is a flagship of the region thanks to its deep dark grapes and expressive personality. Originally native to the South Tyrolean lowlands, Lagrein produces wines with unmistakable aromas of dark berries, blackberries and plums, which are rounded off with nuances of dark chocolate, violets and spicy notes. These powerful, yet finely balanced aromas and the ability to develop structure give the Lagrein the perfect prerequisites to unfold its full splendor in Riserva ageing.

Lagrein Riserva: The magic of ageing in wooden barrels
The secret of Lagrein Riserva lies in its careful maturation, which has been tried and tested in the region for generations. After selective hand-picking, the best grapes are carefully selected and matured in large wooden barrels, where they develop their typical depth and structure. The fine tannins of the Lagrein combine harmoniously with the intense fruit notes and are given a subtle smoky note through contact with the wood. The result is a full-bodied, multi-layered wine whose powerful structure and soft texture are in perfect harmony - the essence of a great Riserva.

The art of bottle ageing: perfecting the Lagrein Riserva
After ageing in wooden barrels, the Lagrein Riserva completes its maturation in the bottle, where it further refines its aromas and tannins. Here, the wine develops a remarkable elegance and balance over the years, giving it an additional dimension. A Lagrein Riserva that has spent sufficient time in the bottle displays a unique balance between fresh fruitiness and mature depth, making it the perfect companion for special occasions and discerning palates. Wine connoisseurs recommend letting it rest in the cellar for a few years so that it can develop to its full potential.

Conclusion: Lagrein Riserva - South Tyrol's masterpiece in a glass
South Tyrol has earned a reputation as a stronghold for excellent Riserva wines through dedication and consistent quality work, and the Lagrein Riserva is at the forefront of this movement. It is not only a testimony to the unmistakable terroir, but also to the innovation and quality awareness of the South Tyrolean winegrowers. This wine unites the depth and spice of the autochthonous Lagrein grape variety with the fine craftsmanship of the wineries in a special way, elevating it to a true masterpiece of viticulture. A glass of Lagrein Riserva tells the story of South Tyrol, from its alpine landscapes to its proud winemaking tradition - a pleasure that takes the senses on a journey through the best of South Tyrol. - Gerardo [TS11/24]
