The Lagrein by Peter Zemmer is a red wine with a typically territorial face, made from the eponymous red grape variety. It is an indigenous variety from South Tyrol, which has Teroldego among its parents. In recent years, it has been experiencing a period of great popularity and interest from enthusiasts, who love its rich fruity aromas, its important structure, and its personality, sometimes a bit rustic, but certainly very recognizable. The aging in wood softens a certain impetuosity and youthful sharpness, resulting in a rich and dense red, endowed with slightly rough tannins and a very persistent sip.

The Lagrein wine is a creation of the Peter Zemmer winery, an artisanal reality that works with great passion to try to give voice through the wines to a splendid territory. These are labels that arise from a long family tradition, which has been carried on by the winery for several generations. The Lagrein vines are cultivated on calcareous-clay soils. At the end of the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in steel tanks for about ten days at controlled temperature. 70% of the mass is aged for several months in large oak barrels and the remaining 30% in second and third passage barriques. The wine completes its refinement with a few months in the cellar after bottling.

The Lagrein Peter Zemmer is a red that perfectly interprets the strong and decisive character of this grape. While Schiava represents the fresh and elegant face of Alto Adige reds, Lagrein expresses a rich and concentrated character. In the glass, it presents a dark ruby red color with deep violet hues. Its exuberant aromas recall ripe blackberry, cherry, plum, underbrush notes, and spices. On the palate, it has a good structure, with dense and broad aromas, supported by an important and tight tannic texture. The finish is balanced and has good taste persistence. It is a perfect wine to pair with second courses based on stewed or roasted game.
