The Raetia Lagrein 2014 is a rich and bold red wine from the northern Italian region of Alto Adige, known for producing high-quality wines from indigenous grape varieties. Lagrein, a dark-skinned grape native to the region, thrives in the cool alpine climate, delivering wines with deep color, firm structure, and intense fruit. The 2014 vintage showcases the elegance and complexity that Lagrein can achieve, balancing power with refinement.

Appearance: Deep, inky ruby red with violet reflections, highlighting the wine’s concentration and intensity.

Aroma: The nose is intense and layered, offering aromas of dark fruit such as blackberry, blackcurrant, and ripe plum, complemented by earthy notes of forest floor, leather, and tobacco. Subtle hints of dark chocolate, black pepper, and clove add complexity, while a touch of floral character such as violet lifts the aromatic profile.

Taste: On the palate, this Lagrein is full-bodied and robust, with firm, well-structured tannins. Flavours of ripe black fruits like blackberry and black cherry are complemented by savoury notes of leather and dried herbs. The wine’s lively acidity keeps it balanced, while a touch of oak aging adds layers of vanilla, dark chocolate, and spice without overshadowing the fruit.

Finish: The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones, leaving a polished and refined aftertaste.

Food pairing: This Lagrein pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised beef, lamb, or game meats. It also complements rich pasta dishes with meat sauces, grilled sausages, or aged cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano. Its bold structure and depth make it perfect for robust, flavourful meals.
