Description

Rovellotti Ghemme Riserva 'Costa del Salmino' 2015The grapes for the Riserva are sourced from the southernmost section of Baraggiola and the blend is 90% Nebbiolo and 10% Vespolina. The best of the Vespolina is selected for the Riserva and is normally harvested at the end of September; the Nebbiolo is harvested in mid October and is fermented separately from the Vespolina. The cuvaison extends for a minimum of ten days and frequently longer depending on the structure of the vintage. The malolactic

simply the level of ripeness that creates the Moelleux Réserve

full of caramel and crème brûlée yet freshened up by lime zest and tart apples

20% Vespolina

The terroir of the domaine shines through in this wine

it is very much a Levet wine with a bouquet of violets

Biodynamic-certified practices allows Philippe to gain full ripeness at significantly lower degrees of alcohol—a boon in the post-climate-change era

The malolactic occurs partially in stainless steel and partially in barrel

Grenache represents 65% of this cuvée but mourvèdre plays an increasingly important role (25%) while Syrah (5%) and an assortment of other grape varieties (5%) complete the blend

The “house cuvée” is a selected blend from all the parcels that the Levet family owns

rich and fresh

and beautiful roundness playing off the bubbles

This wine is aged in smaller barriques of older origin (two to six years of age)
