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.

Winery history
Founded in 1923 by an initial group of growers who chose an ancient 16th-century farmhouse in Cornaiano, the winery has evolved into a cooperative bringing together about 200 families. 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.
Production philosophy
The winery aims to showcase historic local varieties and to interpret international varieties in a way that reflects the local terroir. Sustainability is central: targeted agronomic practices, reduced use of mineral fertilizers, energy-saving measures and the introduction of lighter bottles to reduce emissions.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are located mainly in the Oltradige and the Bassa Atesina, on morainic and porphyric soils. Some crus and sites mentioned include Gschleier, Plattenriegl, Montiggl and Mazon, known for their diversity of exposure and soil.
Awards and recognitions
The winery and individual wines have received national and international recognition: for example, the Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva has been listed among wines awarded "3 Bicchieri" by Gambero Rosso for consecutive years; the Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Riserva has received very high scores from Wine Advocate; the Gschleier Alte Reben Vernatsch has been highlighted by Decanter among notable wines.
