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.

Food pairings
The wine has well-marked characteristics. It holds its own with red meats and medium-aged cow’s milk cheeses. It finds its best pairings with hare and feathered game.
