Descrizione

Lagrein Alto Adige DOC Oxs - Niklas is a wine that embodies the territorial elegance of Alto Adige, a region known for its high-altitude vineyards and the ideal climate for cultivating native grape varieties. This Lagrein stands out for its typicality expressed through its intense character and enveloping structure, the result of skillfully selected Lagrein grapes. The aging takes place in wooden barrels, imparting complexity and softness to the sip, with well-defined yet silky tannins. On the nose, aromas of ripe forest fruits, plum, and light spicy notes blend with a hint of violet, typical of the variety. On the palate, it is full, balanced, and persistent, with a fresh acidity that enhances its drinkability. Perfect paired with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, this Lagrein is a refined expression of a rich and authentic terroir.
