Product description
Riva means steep slope in the Piedmontese dialect. The vineyards for Sotto la Riva are positioned at the foot of one such slope, which shades them during the warm season. This allows the delicate Chardonnay to ripen without excessive sun exposure, preserving the variety's full aromatic profile.
The grapes are harvested in the first weeks of September and brought directly to the cellar for a gentle pressing. The must is clarified and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 18-20°C. After ageing on the fine lees with regular batonnage, the wine is bottled and left to rest for at least three months before release. In the glass, Sotto la Riva is straw yellow. The nose is elegant and fragrant: ripe white fruit, flowers and a subtle creaminess from the batonnage. On the palate it is full-bodied with good acidity and a long, pleasant finish.
An elegant and well-balanced white wine that pairs well with fish, seafood, vegetarian dishes and white meat. Serve at 8-10°C.

To guarantee safe delivery, it is therefore also a requirement that orders are always made in multiples of 6 bottles.
