Rahm 2017

Lagrein Riserva

Wine region
At an elevation of 260 meters above sea level, in one of the last remaining Lagrein-growing
terrains of Gries in Bozen, the 80-year-old vines are rooted in a sandy clay porphyry alluvial
soil with rocky sediments. Raised according to certified ecological principals, the vines are
partially trained on pergolas and partially Guyot-pruned on espalier.
Vinification and Aging
Because of a delicate and careful processing and treatment of grapes in the cellar, varietal
characteristics as well as local imprints of soil and rock are preserved in every bottle of our
Rahm. The spontaneous fermentation in the large wood barrel happens in a natural and
gentle manner. Organic acid reduction takes place in the tonneaus.
A wine portrait
Scents of cocoa, bitter chocolate and crushed elderberries govern the bouquet, while in
the mouth, flavors of black berries, dark cherries and licorice dominate the taste,
enveloped in firm and juicy tannins. Taste lingers on the palate with a nice long finish.
Goes well with
A wine for romantic moments – a taste of indulgence. Delicious with dark meat and
aged cheese, its elegant structure promises a sophisticated gourmet experience
