St Michael Eppan Lagrein

St Michael Eppan Lagrein
St. Michael Eppan Lagrein is a red wine from the Alto Adige region in northern Italy, known for its high-quality, terroir-driven wines. Lagrein is a native grape of the region and produces wines that are deep in colour and rich in flavour.
On the nose, St. Michael Eppan Lagrein typically offers aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries, cherries, and plums, along with a touch of floral notes and subtle hints of spice. There is often a mild earthiness, which adds complexity and depth to the bouquet.
On the palate, the wine is usually medium to full-bodied with smooth tannins and vibrant acidity. The dark fruit flavours carry through, complemented by hints of chocolate, tobacco, and sometimes a slightly savoury or mineral character. The finish is long and balanced, leaving behind a pleasant, slightly dry aftertaste that is characteristic of the Lagrein grape.
This wine pairs well with rich dishes such as grilled meats, sausages, and pasta with hearty sauces. It also complements aged cheeses and dishes with earthy flavours like mushrooms.
