2015 Vigna Steinraffler Lagrein 1.5L

A wanderer between worlds. Dense and concentrated on the one hand and almost rustic in a pleasant way, it nevertheless reveals a certain elegance. The color is deep dark garnet red with an almost black core. The bouquet reveals a mixture of earthy, mineral and spicy notes. The initially delicate fruit develops increasingly in the glass and is reminiscent of dark, ripe plums. The spicy components continue on the palate, with the finish gaining in complexity thanks to the mineral notes that emerge once again. This grape variety, which is unique to South Tyrol, finds very good growing conditions in the vineyards of our Steinraffler estate. Here, in 1990, we planted the short-stemmed Lagrein, a variety that had almost fallen into oblivion in South Tyrol, grafted it onto low-growing rootstock and trained it on wire frames. The rebirth of this old, indigenous red wine variety represents a happy combination of tradition and innovation for us. Only the "Vigna" classification guarantees the origin of a single-vineyard wine in South Tyrol.
