Lagrein
Trentino Doc
Native to the Gries plain in the neighboring province of Bolzano, the grape varietal has long been found also in Trentino.
Monfort’s Lagrein comes from the sunny hills of Pressano. It is a wild and untamed wine and needs a longer ripening time to give complexity and charm with aging.
