Vinification of Popphof Lagrein

This balanced red wine from Italy is vinified from the Lagrein grape variety. In Trentino-Alto Adige, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils made of clay. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for Lagrein are harvested exclusively by hand without the use of punishing and less selective grape harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
