Tor di Lupo Lagrein Riserva DOC

The Tor di Lupo is the flagship wine of Cantina Andrian — and one of the most convincing proofs of what Lagrein can achieve on South Tyrolean gravel and pebbles.

Cantina Andrian is located on the northern edge of the Bolzano Unterland, nestled between the Adige river and the Mendel range. For decades, the cooperative has been vinifying Lagrein from sites known for their deep, mineral soils — ideal for this Northern Italian grape variety, which unfolds its full depth nowhere else.

In the glass, it shows a dense garnet red with violet reflections. On the nose, dark berry fruits — blackberry, black cherry — accompanied by violets and a hint of roasted oak. On the palate, velvety and full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins, lively acidity, and a long, slightly spicy finish. The Riserva aging brings additional depth without masking the varietal-typical freshness.

Drinking recommendation: Serve at 17–18 °C. Pairs with braised beef, wild boar, Brasato al Barolo, or a hearty South Tyrolean speck and cheese platter.
