The sandy, warm and deep soils of Bassa Atesina offer an ideal environment for the production of Lagrein. This native vine is widely spread in the Adige Valley and Bassa Atesina.
The harvest is carried out manually using small containers for transport to the cellar. After destemming, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in steel vats. During this process, malolactic fermentation also takes place. Subsequently, the wine matures for at least five months, both in large oak barrels and in concrete tanks.
Lagrein has a fine and pleasant scent that recalls the scent of violet. On the palate, it presents itself as a full, velvety and slightly acidic wine.
It pairs perfectly with grilled meat, roasts, game and spicy cheeses.

The ancient underground cellars and historic buildings coexist with modern facilities: harvesting and winemaking are managed with care for each individual vineyard to highlight local specificities.

Sustainability is central: targeted agronomic practices, reduced use of mineral fertilizers, energy-saving measures and the introduction of lighter bottles to reduce emissions.
