Fluidwine Rosso Riserva
Red · Colline del Fluido DOCG Riserva
Only Nebbiolo, only great vintages: 36 months in large casks.
The old-vine selection, produced only in the finest vintages. Long fermentations, 36 months in large casks and at least a year in bottle before release. Available by vintage and format.
The story
The Riserva comes from the vineyard our grandfather planted in 1962, on the highest ridge: three casks only, a wine that asks for time and repays it with interest. Library vintages are released sparingly, straight from the cave.
