Wine with a deep straw yellow color with golden hues, with an elegant fruity aroma of Stark apple and quince, fresh almond, sage, with floral notes of acacia and elegant toasted vanilla.
Brilliant straw yellow color. Citrus bouquet of cedar, citrus peel, mandarin, which opens slowly towards almost tropical hints of pineapple. Orange blossom and broom flowers bloom. Touches of peppermint and nettle punctuate scents reminiscent of stone.
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.
The grapes, such as Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca), Prugnola and Rossola, from the Grumello sub-area, are vinified "in red" with a medium-long maceration. After 2 months in steel and 18 months in large 80 hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by another 4 months of aging in bottle.
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.
Classic sweet with a bright straw yellow color, a floral-fruity scent with delicate notes of white fruit, apple in particular.
Wine produced in an alpine environment using Nebbiolo grapes vinified in white. The geological origin of the land dates back to the collision between the African and European plates that gave rise to the Alps. The great variability of the resulting rocks give minerality and elegance.
From Pecorello grapes, an ancient native Calabrian vine to be rediscovered and valorised. For us, Ippolito is proud of passionate research.
