Alpine Südtirol wines: aromatic Gewürztraminer and structured Lagrein from the mountains.

Klaus Lentsch works in Südtirol, the alpine corner of northeastern Italy where cool nights and mineral soils shape distinctive white and red wines. The winery's Fuchslahn Gewürztraminer expresses the region's signature aromatic intensity—the variety thrives in these high-altitude vineyards, yielding wines of perfume and precision. Amperg Lagrein Riserva, built from the indigenous dark grape of Alto Adige, shows the structure and depth that extended aging can coax from Lagrein. A Goldmuskateller rounds the portfolio, capturing the floral character of this rare muscat variant. Decanter, Wine Advocate, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast have all assessed the winery's output. The wines reflect Südtirol's terroir: high elevation, short growing seasons, and the tension between ripeness and acidity that defines the region's best expressions.
