Hofstatter Lagrein\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003estill red wine\u003c\/strong\u003e that faithfully expresses the character of the grape variety. In the glass, it reveals a dense, almost black ruby colour. The aromatic bouquet stands out for its intense \u003cstrong\u003espicy notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, wild berries, violet and fresh hints of cherry. On the palate, it is warm and harmonious, supported by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a well-balanced acidity that gives freshness. The sip finishes with a persistent finale, ideal for accompanying structured dishes such as game, speck and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige\u003c\/strong\u003e, a mountainous area particularly suited to viticulture. The Lagrein grapes grow near Termeno, on soils characterised by a composition of \u003cstrong\u003eclay, gravel and sand\u003c\/strong\u003e. This particular nature of the soil allows the vine to develop a clear and clean aromatic expression. The interaction between vine and soil gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003emarked varietal typicity\u003c\/strong\u003e, faithfully reflecting the rigorous pedoclimatic conditions of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a careful selection of the grapes and destemming. The must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting about ten days, remaining in constant contact with the skins. This \u003cstrong\u003econtinuous maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e is essential for the optimal extraction of colour and aromatic components. Towards the end of the fermentation activity, a programmed \u003cstrong\u003eincrease in temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e maximises the richness of flavours, giving the wine its typical breadth and remarkable structural roundness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eJ.
