South Tyrol's very own red wine variety, vinified by a master of his trade. Peter Zemmer cultivates his Lagrein on the warm clay soils of the municipality of Auer in the South Tyrolean lowlands – where the indigenous grape variety has been at home for centuries. The outstanding location and careful cultivation of the vineyards create ideal conditions for grapes of particular concentration. After fermentation, the must is kept in contact with the skins through regular pumping over and gentle crushing, which ensures optimum colour yield and accentuated fruitiness. 70% of the wine is then matured in large oak barrels, the remaining 30% in two- to three-year-old barriques. Further bottle ageing follows the assemblage.

Dark ruby red in the glass with garnet-red reflections. The nose reveals an intense bouquet of blackberries and wild berries, underpinned by violets and fine spice. Harmonious and velvety on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a soft body. The finish is spicy and lingering. An ideal accompaniment to strong meat dishes, roasts and mature cheeses.
