Descrizione

The Lagrein Alto Adige DOC by Girlan is a red wine that tells the story of a unique mountainous territory, where the cool climate and thermal excursions enhance the elegance of the indigenous Lagrein grape variety. Cultivated in the sunny vineyards of Alto Adige, this wine presents an intense ruby color with violet reflections, a sign of youth and vitality. On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by elegant spicy and floral notes evoking violet and black pepper.

The aging takes place in oak barrels, to which it owes its soft and enveloping structure, with silky tannins and a persistent finish that leaves a pleasant balsamic memory. Perfect paired with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, this Lagrein expresses all the personality of the Alto Adige territory with balance and charm.

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.
