VINEYARD | The grapes for Ring Adora come from two vineyards, the Saliceto Buzzalino and the Albone vineyard. The first one was planted in 2005 and is characterized by clays. The second is five years older and is rich in sand. The training system is guyot, the planting is 4 thousand vines per hectare, and this is how only 600 bottles of this Sorbara are obtained, which has character to spare and textbook elegance.
PEOPLE | Gian Paolo Isabella and Marcello Righi are two passionate winemakers who cultivate a few hectares of vines in Campogalliano, using organic methods and a completely natural approach in the vineyard and cellar. Red Lambrusco grapes (especially Sorbara and Salamino) and Malbo Gentile dominate among the rows though Sauvignon Blanc and Trebbiano Modenese are also present in the vineyard. Everything starts with the management of the vineyard, continues with the harvest (strictly by hand) and is completed in the cellar where fermentations and refermentations are played out, mostly in the bottle.
WINE | It all starts with destemming and a soft pressing. The first fermentation takes place in cement vats, followed by refermentation in the bottle. At least 24 months on the lees and a minimum dosage (three grams per liter) to have a dry, vibrant, energetic Nature. There is all the essence of Sorbara in Ring Adora: first hints of rose, then hints of berry fruit and again a hint of pastry. It is the mouth that is at its best. Attack immediately of great freshness, textbook acidity, sharp, but always incorporated in the matter. Very long finish in the name of flavor. To drink and to drink again!
