Merlot

For many decades now we have had a strong focus on Merlot. Magrè, where our family acquired the Löwengang residence in 1934, offers optimum conditions for this grape variety. On the model of the great wines of Bordeaux, Merlot has been cultivated in Alto Adige for over 120 years in combination with other Bordeaux varieties.
