Lo Spavaldo is produced with the grapes of some of our best vineyards. The wide difference in temperature between day and night and the limestone-chalk soils are ideal conditions for growing Riesling. We have an absolute respect for the identity of the variety and we put the utmost care in monitoring its phenological phases to get the acidity, the aromatic complexity and the ageing potential for which Riesling wines are celebrated worldwide.
Type: still white wine.
Grape: Riesling (100%).
Alcohol: 13% vol.
Vinification: the grapes are hand-harvested. A cold maceration with dry ice for 10 hours precedes the soft pressing of the grapes. The must is then put in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats (15-17 °C) for the alcoholic fermentation. After the fermentation, the wine is racked in stainless-steel vats where it ages for 8 months. During this time, the settled lees are stirred back into wine to extract flavour, aroma and texture. Finally, the wine ages for 3 months in bottle before release.
