Lagrein Kretzer DOC 2024 from the Unterganzner winery is a pure embodiment of the elegance and finesse of South Tyrolean rosé wine. Its color is a soft salmon pink that shimmers in sunlight and captures spring in a glass. When tasted for the first time, it unfolds a seductive bouquet of red berries, accompanied by floral notes and a touch of herbs. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine has lively acidity and refreshing fruitiness, making it an ideal companion for warm days.
The main grape variety that characterizes this wine is Lagrein, an autochthonous grape variety known for its lively fruitiness and fine acidity. Lagrein gives the Kretzer its characteristic personality and unmistakable taste, which delights lovers of rosé wines.
The term “Kretzer” for rosé wine in South Tyrol is typical of Lagrein Kretzer DOC and the wine-growing zone, which goes back to the local dialect word “Kretzen”, which means “circles” and refers to the characteristic stirring of the skins during fermentation. This tradition results in a fresh and lively rosé wine that perfectly embodies the joy of South Tyrolean viticulture.
