Descrizione

The Lagrein Alto Adige DOC from Muri-Gries represents an outstanding product of the Alto Adige region, originating from the historic Muri-Gries winery, renowned for its dedication to quality and winemaking tradition. This wine is the result of meticulous selection of Lagrein grapes, an indigenous variety of the region, cultivated in the clay and sandy soils typical of this area.

Visually, the Muri-Gries Lagrein presents a deep ruby red color, almost impenetrable, hinting at its structure and intensity. On the nose, it offers a complex and enveloping bouquet, with dominant notes of ripe red fruits like blackberry and currant, enriched by undertones of chocolate and sweet spices, a result of aging in barriques.

On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be full and robust, with a perfect balance between acidity and well-integrated tannins. The persistence of the fruity flavors blends with accents of vanilla and licorice, leading to a long and satisfying finish. Its complexity makes it an ideal companion for richly flavored dishes, such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses.

Recommended to be served at a temperature of 16-18°C, the Lagrein Alto Adige DOC from Muri-Gries is a wine that can be appreciated immediately or aged in the cellar for several years, during which it will further develop its complexity and depth.

For those seeking a wine that expresses the richness and uniqueness of the Alto Adige terroir, the Lagrein Alto Adige DOC from Muri-Gries is undoubtedly a choice of great character and quality.

Winery history

The present-day Muri-Gries estate stems from the Benedictine monks who moved from Muri to Gries, on the outskirts of Bolzano. Documents and the estate's history attest to the monastic community's continuous winegrowing since the 19th century, evolving from trading wine in demijohns to a progressive focus on quality bottled wines and on selected ranges such as "Abtei Muri."

Production philosophy

Combining respect for monastic tradition with innovation in the cellar: careful vineyard management, selective use of the best sites, and winemaking that blends stainless steel and wood to showcase the character of native varieties, particularly Lagrein.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are concentrated around Bolzano and on the plain and sunny slopes of the Appiano/Eppan plateau. Soils include porphyritic and gravelly types that enhance the character of the local varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Among the recognitions received is, for example, the award of 3 Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso to the Pinot Noir Riserva "Abtei Muri" in the Vini d'Italia 2019 guide.
