Lagrein Riserva DOC

Lagrein Riserva DOC

100% Lagrein

This wine grows in Gries, the classic Lagrein production area. The estate sits on an alluvial fan of gravel and sand deposited by the Talfer river. The high mineral content of the soil gives the wine a distinctive character and excellent ageing potential. The vines average 30 years of age and the yield is approximately 6,000 kg/ha. The wine was aged in equal thirds in large wooden casks, 500-litre tonneaux and used barriques for 36 months.
