The vines are traditionally trained using the pergola system. This ensures the grape bunches receive sufficient sun, while the leaves protect them from excessive radiation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the wine matures in French oak barriques and then undergoes further aging in steel and in the bottle.

This makes the grape a true historical inhabitant of the Dolomites. There are also two natural variants of Lagrein: a short-stemmed and a long-stemmed variant. For this Castel Firmian Riserva, Mezzacorona uses the short-stemmed variant, which forms smaller bunches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castel Firmian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944372769093,"sku":"28092","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/0048587_castel-firmian-riserva-lagrein.png?v=1788947964","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/castel-firmian-riserva-lagrein","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
