The Lagrein IGT “Laurenc” 2021 from Pranzegg is a characterful, full-bodied red wine from Alto Adige that expresses the distinctive traits of the region’s native grape variety Lagrein with great clarity. Pranzegg is a small, biodynamically farmed estate in the Bolzano area, where steep, hand-tended vineyards form the foundation for natural, expressive wines with a strong personality. “Laurenc” is one of the winery’s most structured and intense reds, showing how Lagrein can be interpreted in a modern way without losing its traditional roots.
In the glass, the 2021 displays a dense, deep ruby colour, reflecting its concentration and extract richness. On the nose, it offers aromas of dark berries, ripe cherry and plum, supported by balsamic and spicy notes and a subtle, earthy mineral edge. On the palate, the wine feels powerful and velvety, with impressive density, well-integrated tannins and lively acidity that brings freshness and drive. Fruit remains juicy and present, while the structure stays clearly defined. The finish delivers fine spice, a subtle peppery nuance and a long, persistent sense of power that is typical of top-quality Lagrein interpretations.
Pranzegg farms
biodynamically on steep slopes around the Bolzano basin, with a strong focus on natural winemaking, spontaneous fermentations and minimal intervention in the cellar. This philosophy comes through clearly in Laurenc: a Lagrein that reflects both local identity and the estate’s personal style, while remaining rich, precise and vibrant.
