Nose
It is surprisingly
lively and fruity on the nose, with notes of coffee
and dark berries and a hint of raspberry.
Palate
On the
palate, the wine has firm tannins, a fresh acidity,
delicate and elegant fullness and depth. Our
single-site Lagrein is wonderfully complex and
persistent and delights the palate with its multi
layered structure.
Growing Conditions
These Lagrein grapes flourish in the center of Gries at an
altitude of 280 m. The historical vineyard is integrated
in the monastery grounds, where the soil is made up of
alluvial materials from the River Talfer overlying Bolzano
quartz-porphyry.
