VINTAGE 2021<br />We are excited about a qualitatively excellent vintage, especially for our white wines! A dry and cool spring led to a late flowering of the vines and was followed by a warm<br />and dry June. After an irregular midsummer, a surprising change in the weather followed in mid- ugust, which brought dream weather until the end of September and the very<br />best conditions for achieving an optimal maturity of the grapes. The harvest began in mid- September, about 10 days later than last year. With blue skies and lots of<br />sunshine, midsummer daytime temperatures and autumnally cool nights, the grapes were able to achieve ideal sugar levels while maintaining very good acidity. Accordingly,<br />the 2021 wines show great quality!<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />Must fermentation for approximately 10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Maturation for 20 months in French oak barriques. The wine is<br />then being bottle aged for several months before being released. Since 2015, a state-of-the-art fermentation cellar has allowed the grapes to be processed with the utmost<br />care, with whole-grape processing using via gravity fed technology. A highly sensitive destemmer and the gentle transport of the grapes by means of a specialized container,<br />cuvon, which runs on rails, prove to be very gentle on the grapes and preserve their high quality. The state-of-the-art building is certainly unique in Alto Adige, and is<br />probably one of the most modern fermentation cellars in Italy to produce great red wines of excellence<br /><br />Variety: 100% Lagrein<br />Alcohol: 14,0% Vol<br />
