The Segen Lagrein Riserva Alto Adige DOC from Cantina Merano is a complex and fruity red wine. This indigenous grape variety is expressed in an elegant, full-bodied, and authentic reserve wine.
The name says it all. Along the “Tappeiner” promenade and above the rooftops of the spa town of Merano, the “Segenbühlel” area overlooks the town with its majestic steep slopes. It is the warmest and driest area of Merano and a true blessing (in German, precisely “Segen”) for all wine lovers, because the hand-worked land has a high capacity to absorb and retain heat. The soils are capable of releasing the absorbed heat to the grapes during the night, creating ideal conditions for grape ripening. The modest growth of the vines contributes to the notable quality of the grapes.
