The Franz Haas 2016 Alto Adige Lagrein is a plush and rich red wine with soft tannins and dark concentration. Lagrein offers dense primary fruit with raw aromas of summer cherry and juicy blackberry. Despite all that brooding darkness, the wine is actually medium-bodied in weight with moderate persistence and a short finish. Drink this wine within the next 5 years. If you are looking for varietal simplicity and purity, this is one fantastic expression of the versatile and informal Lagrein grape. Bottle production is 20,000 units strong.
