Rìe
Arrival has always been discovery, joy, welcome. The shores represent a safe harbor, a home. “Rìe” in the local dialect means both, with all that goes with it.
This Riesling represents exactly that: the homecoming, the security and the joy of a new discovery. A historic vine, welcomed by a friendly climate, by a winemaking art handed down through generations, by the excitement of an adventure and a discovery.
A wine that wants to be drunk, but that winks at medium and long aging, that guards the varietal, clear and precise, but also a fine and light drinkability.
Rìe interprets the arrival on the shores of Lake Garda in a modern version, with great respect for the grape, the place and for those who will finally drink it.

Harvest: Manual
Vinification: Destemmed grapes are not crushed in order to respect the maximum integrity of the skins. During the alcoholic fermentation, the must is pumped over several times to promote the extraction of aromas, color and tannins from the marc. After maceration, which varies from 7 to 10 days, the wine is racked. During the alcoholic fermentation and maceration in the winemaking process, we use a patented technique of winemaking with stems. This technique allows us to manage the stems in such a way that they are of value for color stability and flavor impact. After racking, the wine is decanted and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation lasts about 15 days at a temperature of 20°C.
Alcoholic fermentation: Lucone is aged for two years in concrete vats and 20% in 500-liter French oak barrels for one year; it is bottled for at least 12 months before being released for consumption.
