What wine is Alto Adige Lagrein DOC 'Lareith' 2022 - Kaltern
The Alto Adige Lagrein DOC "Lareith" 2022 - Kaltern is an intense red wine, an authentic expression of the indigenous Lagrein grape variety, cultivated in the sunny areas of Alto Adige. It is a full-bodied and smooth red, capable of combining structure, elegance, and drinkability thanks to the perfect balance between fruit and spicy notes derived from aging in wood.
Vintage Details
The 2022 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate, with good diurnal temperature variations, ideal for grape ripening. The hand-harvesting ensured only the healthiest and ripest bunches, enhancing the aromatic richness and typical velvety profile of Lagrein.
Winemaking and Aging
The grapes are fermented at controlled temperatures for about 10 days, during which maceration on the skins takes place to extract color and tannins in a balanced way. This is followed by about a year of aging in oak barriques, which softens the wine's structure without overpowering its freshness and fruity component. The result is a harmonious and profound red wine.
