This red wine is made from the same grape composition as the regular Colline Lucchesi Rosso, namely Sangiovese (45-70%), Canaiolo and/or Ciliegiolo (0-30%), Merlot (0-15%) and other local red grapes (max. 15% with the exception of Aleatico and Moscato, which may only constitute up to 5%).
The grape combination produces a ruby red wine, which with aging becomes more garnet. The aroma is inviting and characteristic, and the taste is dry, harmonious and smooth.
The Reserve must have a minimum 11.5% alcohol concentration, and it can't be bubbly, like with the regular Rosso.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years.

Did you know?
Italy extends over 10 latitudes – from continental climate to subtropical climate?
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
