About the wine: Lagrein, genetically related to Syrah, is the oldest autochthonous grape variety in South Tyrol. In the hot, deep vineyards in the south of South Tyrol, the
heat-loving Lagrein finds its suitable habitat. The FRAUENRIGL has a seductive fruitiness of wild berries, elderberries, black cherries and cocoa beans. The wine is enriched
with balsamic tannins during ageing in barrique barrels. The noble roasted aromas and the vital acidity are harmoniously combined with the powerful fruit body. The clayey
soil is responsible for its typical terroir characteristics, which lend the fruity finish a piquant spiciness (liquorice) and its individual earthy note.

FRAUENRIGL: the mighty one. In South Tyrol, 'Rigl' used to mean something like small plot of land. Frauenrigl derives from the fact that women were the main landowners
in this part of the village over a hundred years ago.
