Made from Schiava grapes grown under \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and biodynamic methods\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is also suitable for those following a vegan diet. In the glass, it displays a bright ruby red colour with lively violet highlights. The bouquet is intensely fruity, characterised by notes of small red fruits, plum and pomegranate, enriched by a mineral hint of flint. On the palate, its freshness and medium body stand out, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e and a light spiciness, leading to a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent and balanced finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes originate from the beautiful terraces of the Römigberg vineyard in Magrè, located a short distance from Lake Caldaro. Here, the \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e benefit from an ideal south and south-east exposure, growing on steep slopes between 250 and 330 metres above sea level. Trained using the traditional pergola system, the plants sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003eclay soils and moraine deposits\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in sand and limestone. This unique Alpine environment allows for optimal ripening of the grapes, giving the wine vibrant energy and a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking process involves \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e with indigenous yeasts in steel and wood, also using a portion of whole bunches. The structure is developed through prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins and stems\u003c\/strong\u003e in large barrels, which continues even after fermentation. Ageing takes place in contact with the lees in the same containers, followed by a period of rest in the bottle. The result is a harmonious red, perfect for pairing with roast white meats, grilled fish or platters of speck, enhanced by a brief \u003cstrong\u003epreliminary decanting\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe historic Alois Lageder estate pursues excellence through \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e on the picturesque \u003cstrong\u003eterraces of Römigberg\u003c\/strong\u003e, near Lake Caldaro.
