We are confident that you‘ve never heard of this variety before! The roots of the Italian variety appear to be near Trentino, Italy, next to the Lagarina River, from where it got its name. It is grown in the wider region and gives very fruity wines with a light body.
And now that we have told you the basics, let's go further. The winery of Elena Walch, with a long history of wine tradition, is one of the top wineries of the region, with persistence on perfection and finesse. Walch's vision was to create wines that reflect the peculiarity of the terroir of the area. She dealt with both international and local varieties. Lagrein is one of them! There is a classic red vinification in stainless steel tanks for about 10 days and then goes into big French oak casks to mature until ready to get into your glass.
Italians claim it has the acidity needed to match perfectly with food and tomato sauces! If the "experts" say it, we will just agree!
