Very popular - currently out of stock.
This Latus Lagrein from Ritterhof Winery showcases the powerful and complex side of South Tyrol’s indigenous Lagrein grape variety. The vines, some over 45 years old, grow in Gries near Bolzano and in Ora in the South Tyrolean Lowlands on sandy and gravelly soils at elevations of around 220 to 300 meters above sea level.
In the glass, it displays a deep dark ruby-red color. On the nose, it reveals delicate spicy notes of ripe sour cherry, forest berries and fine chocolate. On the palate, it is powerful and full-bodied, yet velvety and harmonious, with structured depth and a complex, long-lasting finish. Its intensity and multi-layered character make it a distinctive South Tyrolean red wine with remarkable presence.
