Description
What kind of wine it is
Rosso di Ludovico Riserva, produced by Tenute Orestiadi, is a still vegan wine originating from Sicily. It presents itself as an enveloping blend of Nero d’Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, characterised by a complex structure and a powerful sip. On the palate, it expresses soft and finely balanced tannins, revealing a broad and deep texture. The colour is an intense ruby red with vibrant purple highlights. This full-bodied red is ideal for accompanying grilled red meats and braised game. Its structure magnificently enhances long-aged cheeses, pairing perfectly with rich first courses and roasts.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Gibellina, in the Belìce Valley, the heart of wine production in the inland area of Trapani. The vineyards reach 500 metres above sea level, benefiting from excellent sun exposure and hot summers that favour optimal ripening of the bunches and the development of intense aromas. The terroir is distinguished by the so-called black soils, clay-limestone soils rich in silt. These compact soils, naturally resistant to drought, allow the vines to produce grapes of extraordinary concentration, transferring to the wine all the authentic energy of the Sicilian landscape.
How it is produced
Production begins in September with the manual harvesting of the grapes. The first stage of maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks for about four to six months, in order to preserve the fragrance of the fruit. Subsequently, the wine rests in French oak barrels for sixteen to eighteen months, acquiring structure, elegance and complexity. The process concludes with about twelve months of bottle ageing. The result is an aromatic bouquet rich in notes of plum, mulberry, black cherry and blueberry, which blend with elegant spicy nuances of liquorice, tobacco, pepper and cocoa.
History and Curiosities
Born in the heart of the Valle del Belìce, in Gibellina, Il Rosso di Ludovico Riserva embodies the most authentic essence of Tenute Orestiadi.
