Mantsch Lagrein Riserva

The Mantsch Lagrein Riserva shows the dark, powerful side of South Tyrol: deep dark ruby red in the glass, a red wine with edges that combines structure and maturity.

The Kellerei Schreckbichl (Colterenzio) in Eppan is one of the defining cooperative wineries in South Tyrol. Lagrein is an autochthonous grape variety that traditionally grows on the sandy, alluvial soils in the Bolzano basin near Gries – warm, sheltered sites that give the variety its dense color and powerful tannin structure. For the Riserva, selected grapes are aged longer in barriques, which gives the wine additional depth.

On the nose, blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, underpinned by cocoa and a hint of vanilla from the wood. On the palate, velvety tannins, juicy fruit, and a spicy, long finish with slightly earthy notes. The Riserva aging rounds off the powerful structure of the variety without smoothing out its edges.

Best served at 16–18 °C, decanted half an hour before drinking. A wine for South Tyrolean speck, game dishes, roast beef, or mature mountain cheese – ideal for cooler evenings and hearty cuisine.

The Winery

Kellerei Schreckbichl

Kellerei Schreckbichl has stood for South Tyrolean winemaking art since 1960. Back then, 26 winegrowers joined forces to be more independent and to be able to manage their vineyards even better together. Over the decades, this idea has become a success story: today, the cooperative has around 300 members who together cultivate about 300 hectares of vineyards – between 230 and 650 meters above sea level, in one of the best locations in South Tyrol.

Tradition and modernity go hand in hand here: careful manual labor in the vineyard, natural cultivation, and state-of-the-art cellar technology complement each other to create a business that not only preaches responsibility but lives it – for example with its own photovoltaics and heat recovery in the cellar. These high altitudes between Alpine air and Mediterranean warmth give the grapes exactly the freshness and ripeness that makes South Tyrolean wines so special.

The range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer as well as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and the local Vernatsch – authentic wines with a clear regional expression. Schreckbichl is therefore much more than a cooperative: it is an association with an attitude that shows how community and quality can strengthen each other.
