In the hot, deep vineyards in the south of South Tyrol, the<br />heat-loving Lagrein finds its suitable habitat. The FRAUENRIGL has a seductive fruitiness of wild berries, elderberries, black cherries and cocoa beans. The wine is enriched<br />with balsamic tannins during ageing in barrique barrels. The noble roasted aromas and the vital acidity are harmoniously combined with the powerful fruit body. The clayey<br />soil is responsible for its typical terroir characteristics, which lend the fruity finish a piquant spiciness (liquorice) and its individual earthy note.<br /><br />FRAUENRIGL: the mighty one. In South Tyrol, 'Rigl' used to mean something like small plot of land. Frauenrigl derives from the fact that women were the main landowners<br />in this part of the village over a hundred years ago.<br />
