Lagrein DOC 2022 – Tramin

Lagrein by Tramin is one of the best ways to experience this grape.
From the first pour, the colour tells you something special is coming: deep ruby with garnet hues.
On the nose, you get wild berries, soft spices, and a hint of Alpine freshness. On the palate, it’s rich yet smooth, structured yet full of juicy energy.

We love it because it has that rare balance: it’s bold without being heavy, elegant without losing its vibrant spirit.
Perfect for hearty dinners, late nights, and moments that deserve a little extra depth.

TRAMIN

Cantina Tramin, the true home of Gewürztraminer, was established in 1898 in the Trentino Alto Adige region.
It began as a small project, initiated by Christian Schrott, a priest from Termeno and a member of the Austrian Parliament.
His aim was simple but vital: to provide a future and sustenance for mountain winegrowers.

Thanks to the strength of this union, Cantina Tramin grew over time and became one of the most renowned cooperative wineries in the region, gaining international recognition.
In 1971, Tramin merged with the historic Cantina Sociale of Egna, founded in 1893.
This merger united traditions and vineyards, including prestigious sites like Mazzon and Glen, renowned for Pinot Nero.
A major shift towards quality began in the 1990s with the arrival of winemaker Willi Stürz. He launched the Selezione project, which now includes iconic wines like Nussbaumer, Terminum, Stoan, Maglen, Urban, and Loam.
Each bottle reflects careful vineyard selection and the highest expression of Tramin’s expertise.

Today, every decision made at Cantina Tramin follows one simple principle: working together to create wines that are a true, harmonious expression of the land.

Lagrein

It’s a red grape variety native to the Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy. It is celebrated for producing wines with deep colour, intense flavours, and a strong, distinct character.

The wines typically show a deep ruby red colour, often with violet hues. On the nose, they offer a fragrant bouquet of violets, blackberries, and cherries, enhanced by herbal and spicy notes.
On the palate, Lagrein displays a medium to full body, supported by lively acidity and firm tannins.
The flavour profile highlights ripe cherry, raspberry, and dark berry fruit, along with touches of cocoa, liquorice, and sometimes a hint of earthiness.

These wines are bold and robust, yet they maintain a perfect balance between fruit and savoury elements. With time, they evolve beautifully, allowing tannins to soften and flavours to gain greater complexity.
Lagrein is also a versatile grape. It can produce a range of red wines, from young and fruity to structured, age-worthy expressions.
Thanks to its richness, it pairs well with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
