The Lagrein Riserva DOC Kristan - 2022 from Egger-Ramer is an expressive red wine that perfectly captures the essence of its autochthonous grape variety, Lagrein. This variety is known for its deep dark color and robust profile. In the glass, the wine shows an impressively deep, almost black violet, which signals its intensity and concentration.
On the nose, Lagrein Riserva reveals a complex aroma, ranging from purple-colored flowers, black berries and cherries to complex earthy and leathery notes. These aromas are harmoniously interwoven with subtle nuances of spices and a touch of oak wood, thanks to aging in barriques.
On the palate, the wine impresses with its full structure and elegance. The well-integrated tannins are fine-grained and give the wine a firm structure, while the fresh acidity provides a pleasant balance. The taste is characterized by ripe, dark fruits and a subtle roasted note that merges into a long and lasting finish.
The term “Riserva” in the wine's name stands for an extended aging period, both in cask and in bottle, which enables it to fully develop and harmonize its aromas. The Egger-Ramer winery, located in the renowned Gries wine-growing zone in Bolzano, uses its privileged location and unique microclimate to produce wines of exceptional depth and complexity.
