The finish of this red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine region finally impresses with considerable length. Once again, there are notes of strawberries. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay-dominated soils add to the palate.

Vinification of Petruskellerei Lagrein Kretzer

The basis for the balanced Lagrein Kretzer from Italy is grapes from the Lagrein grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Trentino-Alto Adige. The vines root deeply into clay soils here. The grapes for this Italian red wine are harvested exclusively by hand when perfectly ripe. After the harvest, the grapes are promptly taken to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. Subsequently, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by a maturation for several months on fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
