About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyard lies near the village of St. Pauls at 300–350 m above sea level. Its moraine soils contain deep deposits of silt and sand.

Grapes

Lagrein is widely grown in South Tyrol. The wine uses carefully selected fruit harvested at optimal ripeness.

Vinification

After a brief skin maceration, the must ferments in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 °C. Malolactic fermentation is prevented.

Ageing

The wine matures on its lees in small oak barrels for five months.

Tasting profile

Juicy fruit aromas continue onto the palate.

Label / history
