---
Lagrein is an ancient grape varietal native to the beautiful Dolomites mountains in Italy. In that area game meat is king and Lagrein is a very traditional match with venison. The colour is dark and inky, the nose has a very complex bouquet of wild berries such as elderberries and blackberries, violets and some leathery notes.

The palate is intense and generous. The dark fruits are balanced by the savoury notes of game meat, herbs and spices such as bay leaf and pepper. The richness of the meatballs is counterbalanced by the freshness of the wine and silky tannins.
