Vigna Arzenhof

THE INBORN COSMOPOLITANISM OF A TERROIR
Provenance. An amazingly powerful concept and the springboard to new horizons. Carano, the place of origin of Baron Di Pauli, is where it all begins. Our wine embodies the rapport between territory and Lagrein’s native soul. Carano shuns the grape’s intractably rustic edge and shades into a sophisticated elegance, transcending mere sense of place to become a genuinely cosmopolitan icon.

VINIFICATION
The wine undergoes fermentation in wooden vats, followed by a 20-day maceration on the skins. After the spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured in barriques for 16 months.

LOCATION / SOIL
The Arzenhof is situated on a hillside between 800 and 1,300 feet above the western side of Lake Kaltern. It is characterized by a talus cone sloping to the southeast, featuring calcareous gravel, porphyry, and quartz sand, along with sufficient loam. This terroir, combined with the Mediterranean microclimate, creates unique conditions for viticulture.

TASTING NOTES
The wine has a deep dark color and reveals notes of cherry, blackberry and plum on the nose. It is very juicy on the palate with a spicy note and supple tannins. The finish is pleasantly soft and round.
