Vinification of the Friedberg Lagrein DOC by Baron Longo

The Friedberg Lagrein DOC - Baron Longo is grown in Alto Adige, a subregion of Trentino-Alto Adige and one of Italy’s most significant wine regions. The Mediterranean climate with cool nights ensures optimal ripeness of the Lagrein grapes while preserving their freshness and complexity. Careful hand harvesting guarantees that only perfectly ripe grapes enter production. The grapes are gently destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation on the skins takes place under temperature-controlled conditions to preserve the aromas of blackcurrant and Lagrein’s characteristic color. During fermentation, attention is paid to allowing extended contact with the skins in order to extract the velvety texture and fine tannins. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its clarity and freshness before finally being sealed with a crown cap. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology ensures the quality of the Friedberg Lagrein DOC - Baron Longo. The DOC classification also confirms the controlled origin and high standards of this varietal Lagrein wine.
