This \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Lagrein and Schiava\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals itself in the glass with a lively ruby red hue. On the nose, it offers a fragrant bouquet of \u003cstrong\u003efresh fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, with clear hints of cherry, violet, and small red berries. On the palate, it is savoury and velvety, well balanced by \u003cstrong\u003eelegant tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead to a long and persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the historic area of Santa Maddalena, located in the Bolzano region. The vineyards, trained on pergolas at around three hundred metres above sea level, benefit from a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm Mediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e that is constantly ventilated. The vines sink their roots into soils composed of moraine deposits and decomposed porphyry. This particular \u003cstrong\u003esandy texture\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures excellent aeration and effectively retains heat. Such pedoclimatic conditions give the wine a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant structural freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a \u003cstrong\u003ecareful manual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the integrity of the bunches. After gentle processing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to enhance the fruity notes. This is followed by maturation in \u003cstrong\u003elarge wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is essential for imparting softness to the tannic structure. This versatile red pairs ideally with speck and poultry, and is surprisingly good even with \u003cstrong\u003egrilled fish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Magdalener Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e by Franz Gojer, hand-harvested in 2024, expresses in the glass the deep-rooted winemaking tradition of Bolzano. The historic combination of Schiava and \u003cstrong\u003eLagrein\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes gives rise to a South Tyrol DOC red wine produced at an altitude of 300 metres, where the moraine and sandy soils provide the vines with ideal warmth. Fermentation in steel and maturation in \u003cstrong\u003elarge wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance its fresh aromas of cherry and violet, offering a velvety sip with elegant tannins and a long, persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Franz Gojer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45377850867883,"sku":"57684","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/franz-gojer-st-maddalena-classico-2024_57684_1_4cfdebcd-b185-42b8-b401-498edb62f2cc.webp?v=1773775539","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-uk\/products\/franz-gojer-st-maddalena-classico-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
