Alto Adige Lagrein DOC - Von Blumen 2023

Lagrein, a typical indigenous grape variety from Alto Adige, is synonymous with a rich and deeply rooted wine tradition in this picturesque region in northern Italy. The Von Blumen winery, renowned for its dedication to excellence and the use of sustainable methods, presents us with its Alto Adige Lagrein DOC that beautifully encapsulates both tradition and innovation.

This wine stands out for its intense ruby red color, with hues that occasionally tend toward violet, a distinctive trait typical of this variety. On the nose, the bouquet is complex and deeply aromatic, offering a fusion of aromas of ripe forest fruits, such as blueberries and blackberries, enriched by nuances of chocolate and sweet spices, thanks also to an elegant wood treatment.

On the palate, Von Blumen's Lagrein DOC reveals itself to be structured and well-balanced. The tannin, though present, is never overpowering and harmonizes with a fresh acidity, making this wine particularly pleasant and drinkable. The finish is persistent and leaves a pleasing sensation of spices and dark fruit on the palate.

Ideal paired with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, this Lagrein DOC is perfect for an elegant dinner or as a refined gift for wine lovers. Thanks to its robust but balanced profile, it is capable of evolving beautifully even after several years of aging in the cellar, promising an interesting evolution for those who wish to explore its nuances over time.
