More questions
The Lagrein Taber Alto Adige DOC from Cantina Bozen is a red wine that modestly conveys the character of the Lagrein grape and the freshness of the Alto Adige terroir. Deep ruby in color, it offers an aromatic profile recalling ripe berries, cherry and floral notes, accompanied by a subtle spiciness. On the palate it is full-bodied and well balanced, with present but well-integrated tannins and a pleasant salinity that supports the finish. It suits those seeking a straightforward, honest wine without artifice.
It pairs with regional dishes such as grilled meats, stews and medium-aged cheeses, and also stands up to mushroom dishes or rich sauces. Serve at a moderate temperature to appreciate its freshness and drinkability; it is an everyday offering from Cantina Bozen for those who want a Lagrein representative of the Alto Adige DOC designation. It can also accompany legume-based dishes and flavorful white meats, and may benefit from brief decanting.

The winery
Kellerei Bozen - Cantina Bolzano
Alto Adige / South Tyrol (Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol)Italy
Winegrowers' cooperative based in Bolzano (Kellerei Bozen – Cantina Bolzano). Formed from the merger of the Gries (1908) and Santa Maddalena (1930) cooperatives, it comprises 224 members and produces native varieties (e.g. Lagrein, Santa Maddalena) and premium ranges such as TAL. The new San Maurizio winery (opened 2018) is CasaClima Wine® certified.
The story
The cooperative originated from two historic cooperatives: Gries (established 1908) and Santa Maddalena (established 1930). They merged in 2001 to form Kellerei Bozen – Cantina Bolzano. In 2018 the cooperative moved to its new premises at Via San Maurizio 36, Bolzano.
Production philosophy
Cooperative philosophy focused on quality and sustainability: care for the land, gravity-fed (top-down) vinification, sustainable vineyard management and energy efficiency (CasaClima Wine® building). Chief winemaker: Stephan Filippi.
