Vinification of Nicolodi Alfio's 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 soils. The grapes for this Italian red wine are harvested exclusively by hand after optimal ripeness has been ensured. After harvest, the grapes are promptly taken to the cellar. Here they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is succeeded by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
