“Lareith” Riserva from Cantina di Caldaro Kaltern is a pure Lagrein that comes from vineyards where the yield per hectare is around 60 quintals, where the vines grow using the guyot system. We are in a hilly terroir, situated between 230 and 260 meters above sea level, characterized by a calcareous and clayey subsoil, very draining. The must ferments in red, macerating in steel at a temperature of 28 degrees for 2 weeks; malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine is then transferred for 12 months in new barrique for one third and at the end of this period, before bottling, a light filtration is carried out.

The "Lareith" Lagrein from the Cantina di Caldaro Kaltern presents itself with a concentrated ruby color, crossed by some streaks that tend slightly towards purple. The nose is a continuous flow of notes reminiscent of red fruit, further enriched by a clear hint of chocolate aroma. On the palate, it is full-bodied, characterized by a broad and enveloping sip, where the perfect integration of tannins into the overall structure of the drink is appreciated. A perfect label to uncork already now, but it does not fear spending a few more years in the bottle, to present itself with an even more developed profile.
