With cheese
Stilfser
Local tradition For the more aged wheels Qualigeo recommends Alto Adige Lagrein. Its medium to full body and medium to firm tannin give a longer-aged, stronger cheese a wine of matching weight, and the fat of the paste softens its grip.
Alta Badia Hartkäse
Our pick Mila describes an intense hard cheese with toasted and potato notes and a short, firm, melting paste. A full-bodied Lagrein Riserva, aged in oak, brings depth and firm tannin to match the cheese's concentration.
History
Trigon is the Cru-tier Lagrein Gries Riserva from Hans Rottensteiner. Named for the geometric three-point selection from the Gries vineyard cluster, the cuvee was added to the portfolio in the mid-2010s as the cellar's top barrique Lagrein.
