Lagrein | Grape variety
Lagrein is, apart from Vernatsch, the only autochthonous - i.e. indigenous - red grape variety in South Tyrol. It is a high-quality and therefore valuable red wine variety that for many years was overshadowed by other, mostly international grape varieties. This red wine is always of a certain rustic elegance, a unique taste which clearly stands out from the international uniform taste.
Some South Tyrolean wineries have always believed in the Lagrein in the past, including the 'Grail Keepers' Muri-Gries or the Bolzano Winery. In addition, private winemakers - such as Josephus Mayr of Erbhof Unterganzner - are increasingly found relying on this grape. The main goal of these wineries is to preserve the typical characteristics of the wine, its down-to-earth taste, its rustic elegance and its identity and to further develop them.
This grape variety has been native to the South Tyrolean region for centuries and is perfectly adapted to the microclimate. This grape variety thrives excellently in Bolzano-Gries, in Moritzing, Kurtatsch and Merano and brings it from year to year to more expressive results. It is the wine of South Tyrol and will be even more so in the future than it is today. - Gerardo

Lagrein | Grape variety | Buy at Gerardo
Lagrein is clearly under the star of the recently rediscovered South Tyrolean grape varieties: the wine from South Tyrol, vinified as a classic red wine (Dunkel) or also as Rosato ( Kretzer), is enjoying increasing popularity. Characteristic of the strong red wine from the area around Bolzano is its tasty spiciness as well as the rustic elegance. The dry rose, also known as Kretzer - is considered a rose wine with bite and is extremely popular. Previously often used as a blended wine, the grape variety is now largely vinified as a single varietal.
The fragrant, full-bodied grape variety is one of the few autochthonous growths in South Tyrol. The origin of this robust red wine grape variety - which is valued for its tannin and color power - has not been fully clarified to date. According to Burton Anderson, the grape variety, whose name indicates origins in the Lagarina Valley in Trentino, was mentioned as early as the 17th century in documents of the Benedictine monastery of Muri near Bolzano in South Tyrol. - Gerardo [TS02/24]
