Lagrein - Fontana Graziano

With the Fontana Graziano Lagrein, a first-class red wine finds its way into the well-polished wine glass. It offers a wonderfully radiant, purple-red color. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine presents wonderfully complex aromas of raspberry, rounded off by red currant contributed by the maturation in wooden casks.

This wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with an exceptionally low residual sugar content. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian, despite all its dryness, delights with the finest balance. Flavor does not necessarily require sugar. Balanced and multi-layered, this velvety, crisp, and fleshy red wine presents itself on the palate. On the finish, this red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region impresses with a beautiful length. Once again, nuances of raspberry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay- and limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Fontana Graziano Lagrein

This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Lagrein grape variety. In Trentino-Alto Adige, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and limestone soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Lagrein is aged for another 12 months in oak barriques.
