Franz Gojer Lagrein Granat california sparkling and it stands alone amongFranz Gojer is a master of Schiava and Lagrein. These two varietals which find their homes in the northern reaches of the Alto Adige are about as far from the mainstream as you can get, but each is a truly unique and vibrant example of the best that this mountainous region can produce. Franz inherited his winery in 1982. Called Glgglhof, it is located on a small hill just north of the town of Bolzano in the center of the Santa Maddalena appellation.
