Alfio Nicolodi's Lagrein comes from the municipality of Cembra, specifically the Maurenti Valvalè zone at 450 metres altitude with southwest exposure. The 0.45-hectare vineyard was planted in 2001 with the traditional Pergola Trentino system on clay-rich soils, which contribute to the wine's strength and structure. The grapes are harvested by hand in small 20-kg crates, carefully selected and then destemmed.
Fermentation takes place at room temperature (22-25 °C) for 18 days, with two daily transfers. The wine is then aged for 18 months, 80% of which is in stainless steel and 20% in French oak barriques. The wine then rests for a further 6 months in bottle. The result is a deep ruby red wine with purple hues, a nose full of ripe fruit and a soft attack on the palate, carried by a good structure and fine, light tannins.
This elegant yet expressive Lagrein is great with dishes with a hearty bite. Think beef or lamb stews, game dishes or a plate of tagliatelle with mushroom sauce. Serve at 16-18 °C to fully experience its power and refinement.
