VISITS TO THE CELLAR
SUALTEZZA IS THE HEART OF THE LOMBARDO ESTATES.
SUALTEZZA IS THE HEART OF THE LOMBARDO ESTATES. LOCATED AT AN ALTITUDE OF 650 METERS, IT DOMINATES THE VIEW OF SOME OF THE COMPANY’S VINEYARDS. WE WILL HOST YOU AND GUIDE YOU TO DISCOVER THE CHARACTER AND ELEGANCE OF THE WINES CURED HERE BY THE LOMBARDO BROTHERS, WINEMAKERS AND OWNERS OF THE ESTATES.
YOU WILL VISIT THE CELLAR IN THE CUSATINO AREA, WHERE ALL THE VINIFICATION PROCESSES TAKE PLACE, INCLUDING THE BARREL ROOM, TO ADMIRE THE FRENCH OAK BARRIQUES THAT REFINE THE RED WINES. FROM THERE WE WILL CONTINUE TO THE ESTATE OF SUALTEZZA TO VISIT THE VINEYARDS AND CARRY OUT THE TASTING.
SUALTEZZA IS TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD AND WAS COMPLETELY RENOVATED IN 2016. IT WILL OPEN ITS HISTORIC DOORS TO MAKE YOU RELIVE THE EXCEPTIONAL DISCOVERY OF THE STABLES AND THE ORIGINAL OLD PRESS DISCOVERED DURING THE RENOVATION.
WE WILL GO UP TO THE FIRST FLOOR, IN THE LARGE LIVING ROOM WITH A FIREPLACE, FROM WHERE THE WINDOWS EXTEND THE VIEW TO THE SEA, LEVELLING WITH THE VINEYARDS, TRULY BREATH-TAKING. WE WILL TASTE THE WINES THAT ARE THE RESULT OF SO MUCH PASSION AND SKILL, ACCOMPANIED BY TYPICAL PRODUCTS OF OUR TERRITORY SUCH AS PANE CUNZATO, CHEESES AND THE FAMOUS CUDDUREDDA DI DELIA.
