GRAN LAREYN Lagrein 2022

Wine Description

An atypical Lagrein - just the way Loacker likes it. Warm nose, blackberry, enough time to mature and therefore simply nice to drink. A wine that is fun to drink.

Curiosity

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”).

Food Pairing

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

Vintage 2022

Great reds and astonishing whites - A hot summer yields a “gigantic red wine vintage” and extraordinary whites. The wine experts of Alto Adige agree: 2022 will be a great vintage for full-bodied red wines in particular, which benefited from the exceptionally high temperatures last summer. But white wines, too, are doing surprisingly well in all areas of cultivation, turning out unusually powerful but still fresh and fruity. (Cons. Alto Adige Wine)
