Frequently asked about Lamarein
What does Lamarein taste like?
Concentrated dark-cherry and violet aromatics with leather and tobacco depth on the nose; the palate is structured and full-bodied with firm tannins and a long finish from extended barrique ageing.
When should I drink Lamarein?
Drink between 8 and 20 years from vintage. The cellar's flagship Lagrein is built for the long haul; young vintages benefit from extended decanting.
What food pairs with Lamarein?
Aged beef sirloin, wild boar ragu, truffle risotto and aged Bergkase. The wine's structure demands substantial protein-and-umami.
What classification is Lamarein?
IGT Mitterberg, the regional indication for premium cuvees that step outside the DOC Alto Adige varietal frame. The IGT designation allows the producer freedom in blending and ageing.
