Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Lagrein
Wine Description
Made from 100% Lagrein grown in estate vineyards in the Alto-Adige. Lagrein is an indigenous varietal that is most often vinified into deep, dark reds that have chocolate nuances and rich fruit flavors. Tiefenbrunner harvests the grapes in September and, after fermentation, 80% of the wine is aged in barriques and 20% in large oak barrels for 12 months.
