Alcohol: 13 %
Grape(s): 100% Lagrein
Location: Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Tasting Notes: Full, bright ruby, almost black in color. A typical Lagrein with ripe dark berries, violets and a touch of spice, a full-bodied palate and soft, supple tannins.
Notes: Lagrein is the signature red grape of Bolzano. Fermented on the skins and matured in stainless steel to keep the fruit pure and the wine fresh.
Food Pairing: Grilled and roasted meats, lamb, game, hearty pasta and aged cheeses.
Winery Story: J. Hofstätter is one of the oldest family estates in South Tyrol (Alto Adige), founded in 1907 in the village of Tramin. Today it farms around 50 hectares of steep, high-altitude vineyards, including the famed Kolbenhof site, and is known for precise, mineral wines that show the cool Alpine climate.
