About Lagrein

Historically the Lagrein Rosato was the original form of vinification of Lagrein grapes.

The Lagrein grape has thick skin and blue-black color.

The tecnique to extract the Rosé color is the same as making white wine: short contact with the skin.

In the 1980s Lagrein Rosato was almost forgotten while currently it is experiencing a rebirth.

Color: Dark Candy Pink with Hints of Orange.
