Lessini Durello Riserva Doc Spumante Wine
Metodo Classico

Grapes

100% Durella grapes. Durella is an ancient native grape variety from the Veneto region. It is extremely vigorous, with a particularly thick and leathery skin, cultivated on soils rich in minerals. A variety typically found in the Lessini Mountains, it grows on the hills between the provinces of Vicenza and Verona; it is capable of creating wines with remarkable acidity due to the high content of malic acid, lending itself well to Metodo Classico sparkling wine.

Zone

The Lessini Mountains in the north east hills of Verona.

System

Pergola Veronese, Guyot.

Land

Volcanic origin.

Harvesting

From the begin of September. The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in boxes. The boxes are then placed in the cellar, cooling the grapes before pressing

Technique

Soft pressing occurs at a temperature between 10-12°C. The first fermentation takes place in thermo-controlled tanks, here, the temperature can range from 15-18°C. In April the wine then undergoes second fermentation using its own yeasts.

Maturation

Occurring on its own yeasts in the bottle, the fermentation period is no less than 84 months. Remuage sûr pupitres: once the fermentation process is complete, the bottles are taken from their stacks and placed inverted in the pupitres and then turned by hand every day for about 30 days, after which they are then disgorged.
