Terroir
The SAND Lagrein vines are located in Gries, on the outskirts of Bolzano. The sandy alluvial soils, situated within the heat-retaining Bolzano basin, are marked by porphyry.
Climate
The Mediterranean climate is characterised by the warmth typical of the south and very hot summers.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. After being carefully destemmed, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks with gentle pumping over. Malolactic fermentation then takes place, before the wine is aged for seven months in 40 hl wooden barrels.

Nose
Maraschino cherry and blackberry, pepper leaf and aromas of liquorice in the finish
