DOWNLOAD WINE DESCRIPTION

Vines
100% Rhine-Riesling, Landò is produced from 15 year old vines whose rooted cuttings were selected on the basis of a careful research among the Alsatian varieties.

Terrain
3 hectares of calcareous and limestone-clay soil, facing West, located at Mairano di Casteggio and San Biagio di Casteggio, at an altitude of 250 – 350 metres above sea-level.

Cultivation
Cultivation is implemented with no trace whatever of antibotritics or synthetic products and soil treatment is restricted to the indispensable. The Guyot cultivation method is used to guarantee maximum qualitative uniformity. The yield per hectare amounts to 600 kilos of grapes, from an average 5,000 stems.

Harvest
Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, with meticulous sorting of the bunches. During the picking phase, dry ice is used to protect the grapes from oxidisation and to avoid temperature upswings.

Vinification
Pellicular maceration is implemented for 18 hours at 4°C to improve the extraction of the aromas and to confer structure. 'Soft' pressing follows to delicately separate the skins from the must. Fermentation, in stainless steel tanks, at 18°C, lasts about 25 days.

Refining
Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is refined in stainless steel vats for 4 months at 5°C to stabilize the tartar content.

Bottling
Maximum, anti-oxygen protection is ensured during the bottling phase. After a final, rigorous, quality control, and at least 12 months after bottling, the wine is placed on sale.

Storage
Storage takes place in a specifically appointed warehouse, air-conditioned at a constant 15°C.
