South Tyrol's autochthonous king grape variety finds its ancestral terroir on the permeable gravel and crushed stone soils of the Bolzano valley floor at 250 metres. Here, where "Lagrinum" was first mentioned in a document as early as 1379, Lagrein thrives in its heartland – the warm, sun-drenched vineyards around Gries with their extreme day-night temperature fluctuations. The traditional mash fermentation in stainless steel with controlled fermentation and gentle mash movement, followed by malolactic fermentation and six months of ageing in large oak barrels, gives Rubeno its characteristic structure and elegance.

Intense garnet red with violet reflections shines in the glass – a blaze of colour that lives up to the name "Rubeno". The bouquet unfolds the typical varietal aromas of blackberries and dark cherries, underpinned by delicate nuances of violets. Subtle notes of dark chocolate and spicy herbs lend additional complexity. On the palate, the Lagrein is velvety with soft, well-integrated tannins and a full-bodied flavour. The balanced acidity carries the intense fruit flavours and leads to a lingering finish with mineral hints of the porphyry gravel soil. Very authentic! SUPERIORE.DE
