Absolutely amazing. My partner and I recently did a tour of the wine cellar followed by a tasting and loved every minute of it.

We were at the basement of the castle to see this amazing view of whole walls aging wine bottles. We were told about all processes and curiosities of production.

We were speaking english all the time, thanks to this amazing guy host. We are very thankful and sending our regards :)) Hoping to visit and see you again...

Produzione limitata, totalmente bio, affinamento pluriennale in botti di rovere, metodo classico con rifermentazione sui lieviti in bottiglia, sono parole che hanno un senso ben preciso per ogni appassionato di vini, che sa benissimo che la vita è troppo breve per bere un calice di vino men che ottimo. Dalla visita in cantina uscirete con la convinzione che la qualità e la perfezione sono il fine ultimo della Luretta, da perseguire negli anni con amore, passione e cura metodica dei particolari.
