2018 tended to be similar to the classic vintages that characterized the Langa climate up to 20 years ago. Without excesses in terms of both heat and rain, the climate allowed for good phenolic and technological ripening. The wines thus turn out to be austere and not extreme. The Riserva version is offered for the first time by our winery with the 2018 vintage. The base is identical to that of the classic, i.e. 100% chardonnay, with 60 months on the lees in the bottle. The smoothness and roundness characteristics of the 2018 vintage prompted us to devise this version of Sivà, which is produced in a limited edition of 462 bottles and 69 magnums.
