Vinification of Petruskellerei Lagrein Riserva

This wine clearly emphasizes a single grape variety, Lagrein. Only the best harvest grapes were used for this wonderfully balanced, pure varietal wine from Petruskellerei. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Trentino-Alto Adige. The vines root deeply into sandy soils here. When physiological ripeness is assured, the grapes for Lagrein Riserva are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse or less selective machinery. After harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Lagrein Riserva matures for an additional 12 months in oak barrels.
