Lumiluna Rio dello Spineto

About This Drink

Most of the grapes for this one come from Maranges, organic certified. 100% whole bunch, so there’s a fresh green pepper note in there with some herbs kicking along underneath a juicy explosion of blackberries and plums. Very, very nice indeed

Story

The grapes are processed as soon as they are harvested, de-stemmed, crushed and placed in steel tanks where the fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts. The skins remain in contact with the wine for about 20 days. 70% of the mass ages in tonneaux for 12 months, the remainder in steel. It remains at least 12 months in the bottle before being marketed.

Producer

Giulio Rinaldi & Luca Bigicchia have been hunting for abandoned vineyards, to rescue and valorise local varietals. They believe every old vineyard is part of the local history and tradition, and a cultural heritage that cannot be forgotten. They work very much in a non-interventionist way, creating wholesome and very tasty wines. The Rio dello Spineto is 100% Sangiovese, aged in oak casks after a long maceration on the skins. Deep and elegant, is a truly great expression of this noble grape.
