SAND Lagrein is grown in the most suitable vineyards in the Bolzano area, where this historic Alto Adige varietal finds ideal conditions to express power and elegance. The grapes ripen in warm, sunny areas on sandy, alluvial soils that foster concentration and aromatic complexity. The resulting wine is intense and structured, yet harmonious, with well-integrated tannins and a pleasant freshness that enhances its drinkability. The vineyards grow on sandy, alluvial soils rich in porphyry and minerals, typical of the Bolzano basin. These well-draining soils favor optimal ripening of the Lagrein, contributing to its intense color and rich aromas.
