Lagrein Riserva Griesfeld Pfitscher 2022
This strong purple-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 from its aging in small oak barrels.

Pfitscher
The name Pfitscher has always been synonymous with a passion for making great wines. The Pfitschers have been making wine since 1861. That’s over 150 years, during which both their wine and their philosophy have undergone major development. In the past, wine had to meet a different set of requirements to today. Klaus Pfitscher understood this as far back as 40 years ago, which is why he decided to focus on making more challenging wines and producing the highest possible quality. At the time, this concept was not very widespread amongst the winemakers of South Tyrol. But how right he was. Today, their wines still represent the sheer power of the grapes. They are wines with the hallmark of authenticity and sincerity.

Alto-Adige
Alto Adige (or Sudtirol for German-speaking two-thirds of its inhabitants) is located in northern Italy and borders Veneto to the east, Lombardy to the west and the Tyrol region of Austria to the north. Stretching to 47 degrees north latitude and altitude over 3050 meters, Alto Adige is a region with topographic and climatic extremes. The main wine-growing areas in the region follow the Adige river valley from Merano in the north to Trentino in the south and are planted both at the bottom of the valley and on its slopes, many of which are incredibly steep. Most wines from this region are produced by cooperatives which, due to the need for efficiency in harvesting, wine production and trade, have become known for their constant quality and reliable quantity. Nowadays, there is a tendency to increase the number of independent producers, which also gain a good reputation. The dominant local varieties are the red Schiava and Lagrein, the most common being Schiava (Vernatsch in German), which makes wine with a medium body, low alcohol and tannin levels and is often mixed with the denser Lagrein to give more depth and power of wine. The white varieties used in Alto Adige are the traditional German Muller-Thurgau, Sylvaner and Gewurztraminer, as well as the French Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio. The Pinot Noir plantations have recently increased as well.

Lagrein
Лагрейн е местен южнотиролски сорт грозде, чието име кара учените да мислят, че може да произхожда от Val Lagarina. Всъщност е почти сигурно, че името му произлиза от Lagara, колония в Магна Греция, където се е произвеждало вино, известно като „Lagaritanos“. По-късно това се потвърждава от ДНК изследванията, проведени върху оригиналните лозя в района. До XVIII в. името Лагрейн обикновено се отнася за бял Лагрейн, който вероятно е най-важният сорт в района от Средновековието насам. Червеният Лагрейн („roter Lagrein“) е споменат за първи път през 1525 г. Познати са два различни биотипа на този сорт грозде, дължащи се на различната форма и големина на гроздовете: Lagrein с къси гроздове и Lagrein с дълги гроздове. Най-старите райони за отглеждане на Лагрейн са районите около Bolzano (Bozen), в района на Gries, които през последните 100 години са били обхванати от него поради силното разрастване на града. През последните десетилетия с качеството на продукцията си се отличават и източните райони на Болцано (Piani и Rencio) и тези около Ора (Auer). Само от 90-те години на миналия век насам виното Лагрейн се продава като червено вино („Dunkel“) с 25 000 хектолитра, в сравнение с 3 200 хектолитра като розе („Kretzer“).
