Monti Lessini 100 months on the lees
A wine that is a bet on the longevity of this wonderful grape: Durella.
A hundred months on the lees and still a great freshness that makes it accessible to all, or rather, to those who have been able to wait.
Suitable for those who already know this grape and want to try to go further. An intense and deep wine in which the character of the Durella grape always prevails over the vinification method.
Grape variety
Durella 100%.
Vineyard
Vineyard of 1976 with Pergola Veronese training system. Propagation by cuttings of an old variety found in Agugliana.
Terrain
Hilly terrain of volcanic origin with tuff and basalt. Altitude: 250 meters above sea level.
Harvest
Strictly manual with careful vineyard selection in the month of September.
Winemaking
The grapes are pressed whole, vinifying separately the different plots of the vineyard which are skillfully blended in January. The sparkling base matures in stainless steel on lees with periodic batonnage until the second fermentation, which takes place in late spring. The bottles are stacked in an underground cellar and remain there for 100 months. Manual riddling with hexagonal racks. After disgorgement, there follows a resting period of a few months.
Tasting notes
Refined notes of chestnut honey, lime blossom and almond blend with the sensations of ripe fruit and rusk bread, slowly giving way to the characteristic mineral notes of the vine. This Riserva, aged a hundred months on the lees, reveals a sip of silky complexity, with a full and solid body, perfectly supported by the acidic and savory taste typical of Durella.
Bottles produced
