Lagrein
Lagrein is native to the Trentino-Alto Adige / Südtirol region of northern Italy. As the name suggests, Lagrein grapes are said to have originated in the Lagarina valley of Trentino, Italy.
The use of Lagrein grapes has been documented as early as the seventeenth century. It is rare to encounter Lagrein outside of Italy.
Deep, dark and a brooding purple, Lagrein wines are smooth and earthy with a pepper and black-fruit taste. Lagrein wines have a high acidic level and are therefore best served with food. Lagrein pairs well with fish or pultry. Dry-cured speck is another wonderful Italian pairing for Lagrein.
