Von Blumen Lagrein

Winemaker Von Blumen on the winery

“Von Blumen is a family project by the Fugatti family, who are continuing their passion for Alto Adige through this winery. Our vineyards cover approximately twelve hectares around Pochi, above Salorno, where we grow a range of distinctive local grape varieties. The vineyards benefit from limestone and porphyry soils, warm days and cool mountain nights. Some of our vines are more than a hundred years old. By working in harmony with nature and respecting our unique terroir, we aim to create wines that express the character of this mountainous region.”

And on Alto Adige, Italy

“Lagrein is an indigenous grape variety of Alto Adige and thrives on the warm slopes around Bolzano. Here, sunny days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen beautifully while preserving their aromas. Our Lagrein is hand-harvested and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, with regular pump-overs to extract colour and flavour from the skins. The wine then matures in large wooden barrels. Expect ripe cherry, blackberry and blueberry, complemented by floral notes and a soft, velvety texture.”
