Lagrein, one of the most typical red wine varieties of South Tyrol and the Bolzano Winery, thrives in the valley floor around Bolzano with high temperature differences between day and night. For the Prestige Grieser Lagrein Riserva, only selected grapes from the best vineyard sites with low yields are used. The wine presents itself impenetrable garnet red, with great aromas on the nose and a long, harmonious finish on the palate.
