In the glass
Aroma: concentrated dark berry, raspberry, coffee

Intense garnet single-vineyard Lagrein from the 2.7-hectare walled Klosteranger site behind the monastery: concentrated dark-berry aromatics surprisingly fresh with coffee and raspberry; firm tannins, fresh acidity and elegant depth.

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
The Vigna Klosteranger comes from the historic 2.7-hectare walled vineyard immediately behind the Benedictine monastery in central Bolzano. Protected by ancient monastery walls and bordering the River Talfer, the site has produced Lagrein for centuries; the Riserva designation marks the longest-aged tier in the Muri-Gries portfolio.
