Rio Lupo - White 2024 Saccomani
Rio Lupo is Saccomani's still white wine, born from the winery's oldest vines — between 60 and 90 years old — rooted in the fossiliferous clay of the Piacenzian Geological Zone, an area nationally recognized for its geological value: sandy Pliocene Mediterranean sediments rich in fossils that tell the story of when these hills were still a seabed. It is from this extraordinary soil that Rio Lupo draws its minerality and complexity. The grapes are harvested by hand, spontaneously fermented in oak barrels with only indigenous yeasts, and left in contact with the total lees until July: a precise choice, to remove nothing, to let the wine build itself on its raw material. No filtration, no fining. The wine that arrives in the bottle is what the vines produced, without mediation.

Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. The must ferments and remains in contact with the total lees until July, developing structure, complexity, and texture. Continued aging in wood. |

In the mouth, it is full-bodied, balanced and persistent: good structure for a still white wine, sustained acidity, a long finish with a savory and refreshing close. |
