ABOUT THE WINE: Lagrein is Alto Adige's oldest autochthonous grape variety. It flourishes best in the deep, warm soils in Bolzano (the suburb of Gries) and the South Tyrolean Lowlands (Kurtatsch) that are made up of clay and sand as well as gravelly deposits rivers and streams that break through porphyry, granite, mica schist, and limestone. "Frauriegl" Lagrein has a seductive abundance of fruit ranging wild berries and elderberries to black cherries and cocoa beans. The greater the Kurtatsch wine, the smaller the French cask: the wine is enriched by vinification in barrique casks with balsamic tannins. With the subsequent aging in large oak barrels, the noble toasted aromas and the vital acidity enter into a harmonious bond with the powerful fruitiness. They say that the best Lagreins finish with not only concentration and length, but also an individual earthy tone. "Frauriegl" Lagrein shows how the energy the earth has been transferred to the grapes. That is its typical characteristic of the terroir which gives the long, exquisitely fruity finale a spice-filled peak.
