Lubigo - Massimiliano Croci

Lubigo is a sparkling vnio obtained from local white grapes. Croci proposes it with the method of natural refermentation in the bottle. After harvesting the grapes, they are fermented spontaneously in cement tanks with a maceration of about 15 days. As the temperatures drop, natural cold interrupts fermentation when there are still fermentable sugars. The wine is immediately bottled and as the temperature increases the fermentation begins again for the foaming. The Lubigo is delicate, fine, pleasantly acid. Closes with the typical almond finish. A pleasant wine of excellent drinkability.
