Riccardi Reale

Certified:

Yes

Riccardi Reale aims to make natural wine that is wholesome, digestible and faithful to its plot. Piero Riccardi and Lorella Reale work organically and biodynamically, use spontaneous fermentation and avoid unnecessary additives. Their goal is to restore meaning to local grapes and produce wine that recognisably conveys the volcanic and sandstone soils of mountainous eastern Lazio.

The founders left their careers as RAI journalists for a wine estate of approximately seven hectares in Bellegra and Olevano Romano. Cesanese, Malvasia Puntinata, Rosciola and Riesling are central. The wines mature mainly in cement and chestnut wood. Suolo e Salute Lazio certifies the organic production; biodynamic methods are reported, but not a separate biodynamic licence.

Càlitro from Riccardi Reale is a dry red wine with 14% alcohol. This listing is for the 2021 vintage. The wine is made from Cesanese. The selected grapes and style suggest red and dark fruit, spicy nuances and a balanced dry structure. This gives it a recognisable, accessible style that is suitable for pasta, roasted vegetables, meat dishes and mature cheeses. Do not serve too warm; if the wine is powerful or mature, let it breathe briefly for a more open flavour profile.
