<br /><br />Lagrein is considered the oldest autochthonous grape variety of Alto Adige.

On the palate, juicy fruit, vibrant freshness and velvety tannins come together in a harmonious whole. This grape variety, often described as rustic, presents itself here as surprisingly fine and well balanced. The spicy, fruit-driven finish is clear and light-footed, lingering long on the palate.

<br />Classification: South Tyrol DOC Cultivation area<br /><br />'Gschleier' is certainly one of the most renowned wine-growing areas in South Tyrol. Our vines are in fact between 80 and 110 years old, a uniqueness in South Tyrolean viticulture. They grow at 450 metres above sea level on soils of calcareous, loamy and gravelly nature. Thanks to the location and the exposure of the slope, optimal sun exposure is guaranteed, which, together with the characteristics of the soil, produce a full-bodied wine with a longer storage life.<br /><br />Vinification and ageing: The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. After destemming, the must is gravity-fed into steel vats where fermentation takes place (15-20 days). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured for 9 months in large wooden barrels. The wine is aged in bottle for a further 6 months.<br /><br />Wine portrait: unique Vernatsch! Elegant, full-bodied with fruity tannins, accompanied by excellent flavour.

Cultivation area<br /><br />Years of testing by vinification of small quantities of wine have finally led us to the ideal site, the monopollage Ganger. It is located in Mazon, at an altitude of 360 to 380 metres above sea level, facing southwest, with a slope of 3-5%, and is characterised by a unique microclimate and deep clay and limestone soils. It is the place of origin of the Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Riserva.<br />Vinification and ageing<br /><br />The fully ripe grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and delivered in small containers. The grapes - one fifth of which are vinified as whole clusters - are then gravity-fed into steel vats where fermentation takes place (25 days). After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured in barriques for 20 months. Finally, the wine is stored in the bottle for another 18 months.<br />Wine portrait<br /><br />Intense ruby red with aromas of ripe fruit, sour cherries, wild berries, raspberries and a slight hint of marzipan.
