Nevermore

Soft, meditative, and melancholic

The raven returns to knock on the door bringing heady scents of a land waiting to be discovered.

Dark Sweetness

Inspired by the long tradition of Italian Vin Santi, Nevermore reinterprets Malvasia Aromatica di Candia through a unique aging process. Drying the grapes on the vine allows to maintain a very high flavor concentration that is transformed into a wine full of character through slow pressing and 8 years of aging in oak, cherry, chestnut, and acacia woods.

Aromas of spice and tropical fruit that overflow into dried apricot and hazelnut, sweet palate that develops into hints of date, fig and saffron. The perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, ideal to complement dry pastries after dinner.

character

A sweet wine that is impossible to imitate, unfiltered but stable thanks to a non-traditional aging process that includes four rackings in small 100-liter barrels over the course of a decade.

“And the stern, vague, soft, waving of the velvets
Filled me, penetrated me with unknown terrors!
15 So much so that, to make short — that anguish, I rose
Muttering: ‘Tis a pilgrim that hath knocked at my door,
A traveler or a pilgrim that hath knocked at my door,
That, and nothing, nothing more!’”

– “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe

history

Nevermore is the latest creation of Cantina Luretta. A sweet white wine produced by drying Malvasia Aromatica grapes on the vine, aged for eight years in 100-liter barrels made of oak, cherry, chestnut, and acacia woods. Unfiltered and naturally clear thanks to the slow aging process, Nevermore is an exclusive wine with an intense and refined flavor that offers a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.

In 2021, Nevermore won Slow Wine’s highest award, joining the guide. The Top Wine award, besides celebrating excellent organoleptic qualities, is given to those wines which can condense in the glass characteristics related to terroir, history, and environment. The attribution of this award also implies the total absence of chemical weeding in vineyards.
