Lagrein Muhlanger South Tyrol Alto Adige DOC BIO

The Lagrein Mühlanger Sudtirol Alto Adige DOC BIO 2023 comes from Brunnenhof, Kurt Rottensteiner's organic farm in Mazon. Lagrein is the most distinctive red grape variety of Alto Adige — native, grown almost exclusively in this province, with a personality unlike any other Italian red. The winemaking is traditional: two weeks of skin-contact fermentation in large 25-hectolitre oak barrels with malolactic fermentation, followed by one year of aging in 500 and 700-litre oak barrels. Structure and complexity without losing the grape variety's alpine freshness.

In the glass, it presents a dark ruby red with purple reflections. On the nose, blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, and a spicy note that emerges with aeration. On the palate, it is tannic and savory, with a freshness that balances the structure and a long, persistent finish. A red of great personality that opens up in the glass.

Recommended for: For those who want to discover the most distinctive red of Alto Adige, far from international grape varieties. Brunnenhof's Lagrein Mühlanger is the right choice for those who love structured and tannic reds with an alpine freshness that clearly distinguishes them from Barolo or Amarone. Perfect with game, roasted red meat, speck, and aged cheeses. Decant for 30 minutes at 16-18°C.
