Terroir

The SAND Lagrein vines are located in Gries, on the outskirts of Bolzano. The sandy alluvial soils, situated within the heat-retaining Bolzano basin, are marked by porphyry. 

Climate

The Mediterranean climate is characterised by the warmth typical of the south and very hot summers.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand. After being carefully destemmed, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks with gentle pumping over. Malolactic fermentation then takes place, before the wine is aged for seven months in 40 hl wooden barrels.

Colour

Thick ruby red, with beautiful depth

Nose

Maraschino cherry and blackberry, pepper leaf and aromas of liquorice in the finish

Palate

Dense and fresh, with full-flavoured tannins and a return of balsamic undertones
