Lagrein Rosato: the sophistication of a South Tyrolean rosé wine
In the world of wine, there are a multitude of nuances, aromas and flavors that stimulate the senses and seduce the palate. Among the many varieties and variations, Lagrein Rosato from South Tyrol stands out as a jewel that fascinates and surprises wine connoisseurs in equal measure. With its unique characteristics and exquisite taste profile, this rosé wine made from the Lagrein grape has attracted the attention of wine lovers and secured a permanent place in the hearts and cellars of wine connoisseurs.

A look at South Tyrol's wine production reveals a fascinating fact: Lagrein Rosato accounts for only 10% of the region's total Lagrein production. This relative rarity gives Lagrein Rosato an aura of exclusivity and entices you to explore and enjoy its subtle flavors.

An interesting feature of Lagrein Rosato is its past as a 'Kretzer'. The term 'Kretzer' comes from the dialect of the region and refers to a straining basket that was traditionally used to separate solids and liquids. Based on the fine sieve structure of the basket, Lagrein Rosato was known for its light turbidity and delicate color. This historical designation underlines the deep roots of Lagrein Rosato in the regional culture and tradition of South Tyrol.

Another striking feature that distinguishes Lagrein Rosato is its darker color compared to other Italian rosé wines. This characteristic clearly sets it apart from the common perception of a rosé wine and gives it a unique presence in the glass. The deeper color depth of Lagrein Rosato reflects its intense concentration of aromas and tannins, which give the wine a remarkable structure and complexity.

Lagrein Rosato is more than just a wine; it is a tribute to the rich history and picturesque landscape of South Tyrol. From the rolling hills of the vineyards to the carefully tended vines, this rosé wine embodies the passion and dedication of the winemakers who cultivate it with love and care.

The world of Lagrein Rosato reveals a wealth of aromas and flavors that delight the senses and pamper the palate. With its rare elegance and incomparable character, Lagrein Rosato is a true masterpiece of winemaking and invites you to discover and celebrate its secrets. - Gerardo [TS02/24]
