Vineyard and terroir
Lagrein is grown in warm sites on both the southeast- and southwest-facing sides of a mountain ridge. The calcareous soils contain clay and sand. Mediterranean warmth meets cool air from the surrounding Dolomites. The grapes are harvested by hand and subjected to rigorous selection.
Grapes
100% Lagrein.
Vinification
Traditional temperature-controlled fermentation lasts approximately 10 days in stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation follows in 70 hL and 22 hL barrels made from French and Slavonian oak.
Ageing
The wine matures in large wooden barrels.

Tasting profile
An intense, dense garnet red. The complex bouquet combines restrained spice and cocoa with wild berries and sweet cherries. The palate shows distinctive tannins, smooth fullness, youthful freshness and a playful yet rustic elegance, ending in a long, juicy finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 16–18°C. Pair with full-flavoured savoury dishes, venison, game, red meat or mature cheeses.
Vintage notes
The 2025 harvest began on 27 August and concluded a little over a month later. Relatively early flowering was followed by a warm, dry June. A notably cooler July helped maintain freshness and acidity, while August brought favourable ripening conditions. September alternated between sunshine and occasional rain toward the end of harvest, and the fruit reached the cellar healthy and well balanced.
