Deion: This strong ruby- to garnet-red wine has a light note of violets. Its taste is rich in fine tannins; it is harmonious on the palate, with a full body and a velvety finish. The Lagrein draws its character and noble spicy notes in particular its aging in small oak barrels.
Vinification: Maturation in the tank takes eight days, with continuous "punching down" of the marc head. The process is finalised in around five days in a steel tank at a regulated temperature. The wine is then aged in small oak barrels for 15 months.
Recommended with: Ideal with substantial dishes, dark meats, game, game birds and hard cheeses
