GRAN LAREYN Lagrein Riserva 2016

He is showing an intensive red garnet colour, with a pleasant smell of violets and blackberries, and with a lightly note of fume. The taste is full and velvetly, the acidity shows a georgeous terroir, with an acerb tone. The finish is smooth and quite long. 100% vegan! It goes well with venison, red meat and mature cheese.

At the corral Formigar, where prince Tocol once celebrated parties, where the wine warmed up the hearts of his guests, the harpist Lareyn was playing songs of the mountains and of the dark myths from earlier times, which belongs to the empire of the silver mountains, to the tables of heroes of Ey de Nét, Men de Fiér and Dolasilla. (Extract from the book of Hubert Mumelter “Wine from Rätien”).

Best with venison, roasts, dark meat or hard cheese.

An Exciting Year for Both Reds and Whites The capricious summer of 2016 posed a good many challenges to Alto Adige winegrowers: aside from a few hot summer days, there were numerous wet days with above-average rainfall. This required a great deal of attention and diligence in the vineyard. The growers had to exercise great care. What was necessary was a very precise observation of the vines as well as targeted measures, such as cluster division. All of that meant hard work and a particularly large amount of effort in the vineyards. (Südtirol Wein)
