In the glass, it displays a cherry red colour with ruby highlights. On the nose, it reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eintense and fruity bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e, dominated by notes of plum and wild berries, enriched with hints of liquorice, cocoa and dark chocolate on a spicy background. On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003evigorous and linear structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a medium body and \u003cstrong\u003esmooth tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sip is pleasantly dry, finishing with a distinctive mineral hint of graphite. It is ideal paired with game and mature cheeses, and shows its best if decanted for about an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines take root in Magrè on the Wine Road, in the Mitterberg area of Trentino Alto Adige. The name of the cuvée pays homage to the \u003cstrong\u003eMagrè alluvial cone\u003c\/strong\u003e (from the Latin conus), where the Sand vineyard is located. At an altitude between 230 and 320 metres, the vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003egravelly and sandy soil\u003c\/strong\u003e with a high concentration of dolomitic limestone. This soil composition, situated on a gentle slope, encourages the ripening of the grapes, imparting a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct mineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e and a precise, defined tannic structure to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing natural rhythms, vinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out by indigenous yeasts and careful maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel to preserve the pure aromatic expression of the fruit. The wine then undergoes a period of rest through a \u003cstrong\u003ecombined maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e, ageing partly in steel tanks and partly in large \u003cstrong\u003ewooden casks\u003c\/strong\u003e. This production technique shapes the character of the Lagrein, integrating elegance and finesse without ever compromising the natural smoothness of the sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003eConus\u003c\/strong\u003e, of Latin origin, pays homage to the detrital cone of Magrè, where the Sand vineyard is located at an altitude of 230-320 metres. The Alois Lageder family estate cultivates the grapes following a strict \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e, to fully enhance the authenticity of the South Tyrolean terroir. Vinified through spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, this fascinating Lagrein Mitterberg IGT expresses a pure connection with nature.
