Bianco Riserva 'LR' Colterenzio 2021
The White Reserve LR is the most important and prestigious white wine of the Colterenzio winery, inspired by the legendary figure of Luis Raifer, the soul of the winery that brought it to success. It is made from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Sauvignon and is aged in wood for 1 year and another 3 years in bottle. With an elegant, creamy, and round body, seductive and deep, it is characterized by a rich and intense bouquet of honey, baked apples, exotic fruit, light spices, and hints of cocoa butter.
The white wine “LR” Reserve presents itself in the glass with an intense and bright straw-yellow color. The nose is rich, broad, and refined, with notes of exotic fruit, clarified butter, and delicate vegetal hints. On the palate, the liquid fills the mouth, taking possession of it, due to an important structure and a creamy and smooth texture. Already excellent now, it is a wine that can also improve with some aging in the cellar. To conclude, we leave you with the vision of Luis Raifer "To produce an exclusive wine, capable of exciting a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Sauvignon, with selected bunches from vineyards located at an altitude of 400–550 m above sea level and cultivated with yields of just 35 hl/ha. In the vineyard, utmost attention is paid to selecting the best bunches and the ripeness of the grapes, which must be perfect. In the winery, alcoholic fermentation and aging in oak barrels is followed by an additional 12 months of resting in the bottle. Only after 3 years after the harvest is the wine marketed.
