One red

WALTER
One red.
Made the way the family has made wine for over a hundred years.

We make one red, and it bears Walter's name. The twelve grapes from the family vineyards ferment in the vat on their skins, with their own yeasts and no added sulphites. Then we keep only the free-run wine, the wine that runs off by itself: the press never touches the skins. Then the oak barrels, and the time the wine needs. The family has been making wine for over a hundred years. Today the sons of Giuseppe Lento, known in the village as Don Pino, make it as he made it with his father. Every vintage has its own run, set before bottling and never exceeded: the 2022 is 3,333 bottles, each with its own number on the label. WALTER is not sold in wine shops or online. It comes in its own wooden case, with a card signed by Walter.

The wines to come

First one, done well.
The other wines of the house wait in the cellar for their moment, and for a family name.

Don Pino's sons are Francesco, Gianpiero, Walter and Roberto, and they make their father's wine together. The red bears Walter's name. The family makes other wines in the cellar too. For now, they stay there. They will come out when they are worthy of WALTER, each with a family name, like the red. Until then, only WALTER. If you would like to know when, write to us: someone from the family will reply.
