Produced by the renowned Cantina Tramin in the enchanting Alto Adige region of Northern Italy, this Lagrein showcases the authenticity and character of its origins. Cantina Tramin, with a heritage dating back to 1898 and a community of dedicated winegrowers caring for 260 hectares of vineyard, combines Alpine freshness with Mediterranean sunshine for truly distinctive wines. Grown on sun-kissed slopes ranging from 250 to 850 metres elevation and nurtured in a unique blend of clay, calcareous gravel and sand, Lagrein grapes thrive under the skilled hands of small growers. Traditional Pergola and Guyot vine training, sustainable vineyard practices, and careful winemaking-featuring fermentation in stainless steel and cement, with maturation in oak and cement vats-result in a wine lauded for its ability to express both place and grape with finesse.
