Ferruccio Carlotto. Lagrein Riserva

Alto Adige DOC
Grape: Lagrein

13.5%

Lagrein was a wine once reserved for the nobility, the courts and the church, this however changed in 1526 when Michael Gasmayr could take no more and roused the farmers in a revolt for the right to drink Lagrein.  It is probably the blackest of all wines, thought to be Greek in origin though DNA research has disproved this and thrown some light onto its complicated past; one parent is Teroldego, the other parent is, as yet, unidentified!
