Obtained from the best Greco Bianco, a thousand-year-old Calabrian vine, grown close to the Ionian Sea. A tribute to our wonderful sea of Cirò
Strong straw yellow color, typical floral and ripe yellow fruit aroma; dry, velvety flavor, great volume and intensity. 50% in steel with inert gas protection; the remaining 50% in barrique with racking at the end of the bâtonnage. At the bottling, the two parts come together.
Straw with hints of greenish hues, it reaches golden reflections with aging. On the nose melon, mandarin and grapefruit with hints of mint and some floral notes in the youth phase. Savory, fresh and mineral on the palate, of marked typicality.
Between the end of October and November the third harvest for the Lugana Riserva del Lupo, we thus obtain grapes with noble botrytis. We thus obtain grapes with noble botrytis from which we can extract all the minerality of our land that was once the bottom of the lake.
The taste is full and soft, with very delicate olfactory sensations ranging from floral to spicy accompanied by a honeyed hint.
From Pecorello grapes, an ancient native Calabrian vine to be rediscovered and valorised. For us, Ippolito is proud of passionate research.
The origin of this vine seems to be Spain from which it would have spread to the northern Tyrrhenian coasts where it is still widely cultivated today.
