Molceo
Lugana DOC Riserva
Grapes
Production area
The grapes come from our own small vineyard plots in the best winegrowing areas of the appellation, in the municipalities of San Benedetto di Lugana, Sirmione, Pozzolengo and Desenzano del Garda.
Harvest
The harvest and bunch selection are done strictly by hand in small 17 Kg cases. Late harvest in October.
Winemaking
Gentle, soft crushing of whole bunches for most of our production, while the rest is lightly destemmed by oscillation. Then follows a strict winemaking process: partial malolactic fermentation, 18 months ageing on fine lees, mostly in steel and the rest in barrels and barriques.
Tasting notes
An intense golden colour. Appealing on the nose with enchanting hints of citrus fruits white flowers and elegant mineral notes. The palate is richly structured and complex with pervasive mineral overtones, notes of flint and hydrocarbons. A lingering finish. It develops gently, designed for longevity.
