The Costaripa winery, located in Lombardy, produces this white wine in the Lugana wine region. It's a region known for its full-bodied white wines, and we couldn't agree more. The old vines, filled with Trebbiano di Lugana, are decades old and provide the winery with a full harvest. But that doesn't happen by itself, as the Costaripa winemaker explains. A lot of work is done in the vineyards, and the vines don't lack anything. The vineyard is located near Lake Garda, and that has an impact on the grapes. The fresh wind slows the grapes' growth and ensures a balanced season. Summer days in Lugana can be very warm, and the bunches seek coolness, which they find in the breeze from Lake Garda.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest of the Costaripa Pievecroce Lugana\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAll of Costaripa's staff is assembled just as the harvest begins in mid-September. This is when the Lugana bunches are at their ideal ripeness, and they are harvested early in the morning. Harvesting in the morning is crucial to preserve the freshness of the grapes and to prevent excessive crushing of the Lugana grapes during transport to Costaripa. Upon arrival, the grapes are pressed, followed by thirty-five percent oak aging. This gives this white Pievecroce its strength and suppleness, which is clearly noticeable in the aroma and flavor.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of the Pievecroce Lugana\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWhen pouring this white Costaripa, the golden color immediately catches your eye, along with a beautiful, thick structure and a green sheen. The party has begun, and this Lugana's aroma reflects this: very powerful with nuances of pear, ripe apple, and apricot. But if you take a closer look after swirling the glass, you'll also discover notes of elderflower and a touch of smoke. Once the wine is in your mouth, you'll clearly notice its full structure, ripe exotic fruit notes, and invigorating hints of citrus and apple. The finish is very powerful and full, displaying all the beautiful qualities of a top-class Lugana.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775758078031,"sku":"5062","price":19.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/costaripa-pievecroce-lugana_5062.webp?v=1770046384"},{"product_id":"costaripa-rosamara-rose","title":"Costaripa RosaMara Rose","description":"A very special bottle of rosé from Italy, this Costaripa RosaMara. The beautiful Costaripa winery uses four grape varieties for this rosé: Sangiovese, Barbera, Marzemino, and Groppelo. All originate from the Lombardy wine region of northern Italy. The old vineyards are situated in a unique location near Lake Garda. The warm summers with high temperatures are good for the grapes, but they also need coolness to mature smoothly. The grapes receive this coolness from the wind blowing off Lake Garda. This coolness protects the grapes during the day from the bright sunny days of summer. But the grapes also cool down at night because the vineyard is situated at a higher elevation. All in all, a quiet and peaceful growing season, perfect for a rosé like this Costaripa RosaMara.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest of the Costaripa Rosé\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nVery early in the morning, around mid-September, the grapes for this rosé are harvested by hand. The early harvest is crucial to preserve the freshness of this wine and also to prevent the grapes from being crushed during transport to the Costaripa press. As the winemaker says, \"when the grapes are dormant is the best time to harvest.\" Once all four grape varieties have been harvested, they are combined, and the skins ferment for just 20 minutes. This is when Costaripa acquires its beautiful light pink color, similar to Provence.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The scent and taste of the Costaripa RosaMara\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The color is fantastic and immediately makes us want to smell this rosé.

Lots of red fruit notes, a lovely structure, and a hint of almond bitterness. A perfect, long finish.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775760044111,"sku":"5063","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/costaripa-rosamara-rose_5063.webp?v=1770046344"},{"product_id":"costaripa-mazane","title":"Costaripa Mazane","description":"This red wine is made from the Marzemino grape, something you don't see very often anymore. It's a shame, really, because the grape has very beautiful qualities and grows primarily around Lake Garda in Italy. The old vines of Costaripa are also located in this area, Lombardia. Although the region is better known for its white and sparkling wines, we're happy to say we've discovered a red variety. The old vineyard, which has been performing well for decades, produces full, powerful bunches of the Marzemino grape. These thrive in the warm climate, but also receive sufficient cooling from the wind blowing off Lake Garda. This allows for a long and uneventful growing season, allowing the grapes to fully develop.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Completely hand-harvested for this Costaripa Mazane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIn early September, Costaripa begins the harvest of the red Marzemino grape. Everything is harvested by hand and selected bunch by bunch to retain only the finest. These are transported in small crates to the Costaripa press where they undergo a short, slow pressing. The dark juice is of phenomenal quality, and the winemaker calls it a kind of \"Barolo\" from Lombardy. We agree, and this eliminates the need for aging in wooden barrels. The wine is simply the finest it can be.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does the Costaripa Mazane taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nUpon pouring, the wine immediately reveals its dark red color and offers beautiful aromas. We noted notes of strawberries and amarena cherries, a hint of pepper, and some ripe plums. The palate is soft and refined with a wonderfully harmonious style. Hints of black fruit, light spices, some strawberries, plums, and chocolate. On the back of the palate, this Costaripa Mazane also offers nuances of cocoa, cinnamon, and other sweet spices. A beautiful wine, and perhaps enjoy it slightly chilled, as this red wine deserves!","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775758962767,"sku":"5064","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/costaripa-mazane_5064.webp?v=1770046362"},{"product_id":"mattia-vezzola-brut-rose-costaripa","title":"Mattia Vezzola Brut rose Costaripa","description":"A unique Brut Rosé from sun-drenched Italy.
