Lagrein St. Anna from South Tyrol
An indigenous grape varietal from South Tyrol, Lagrein makes for wines with character and body. Of dark ruby red colour, its aromas remind us of cherries, vanilla and wood. It is supple and rich on the palate. This elegant wine is an excellent fit with grilled and braised dishes. We also like to drink it on its own.
