Ricciante - Rosato Brut sparkling wine of quality

Ours is a small operation where nothing is left to chance. Here we produce our wines using only our own grapes. The vineyards are located between Monforte d'Alba, Novello, La Morra and Barbaresco, areas particularly suited to the great wines of the Langhe. We take care of the entire process: from production, to ageing, to sale. We follow the whole process to guarantee the best quality. Fact sheet: Ricciante Brut Grape variety: grape varieties typical of the area. Harvest: manual, in crates. Vinification: crushing and pressing without maceration. Fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks at low temperatures for about 20 days; after racking, the wine undergoes a brief ageing on fine lees for one month, and in December the second fermentation begins in autoclave (Charmat method). Ageing: "sur lies" for 6 months in autoclave. Production: about 8,000 to 10,000 bottles per year, magnums included. This wine takes its name from the hedgehog, the little animal that is the symbol of the La Biòca winery, because it is round and tough, just like a «biὸca». Riccio (hedgehog) + spumante (sparkling wine) = Ricciante.
