Nature and man are a perfect combination to create a quality wine.
The terraced vineyards, located at different heights, allow us to get the best from the territory of Caldaro.
“I have a clear idea of what mine should be like Lagrein: I want it full-bodied and to be tasted at the end of the day, in a moment of absolute relaxation.
I chose to cultivate Lagrein in a vineyard near the lake, in one of the few areas of Caldaro that is particularly suited to this variety.”
The Lagrein is one of the leading red grape varieties in South Tyrol. It is a native variety that prefers warm, gravelly or sandy soils, from which intense and deep ruby red wines with great character are obtained. Lagrein loves the Mediterranean climate that gives it delicate scents of berries, cherries and violets.
