In 1785, Ludwig van Beethoven teaches the children in the von Breuning family of the same age as a young piano teacher and close friend of the family. Daughter Eleonore becomes Beethoven’s first love and he dedicates a number of pieces to her including the opera Fidelio, and the Violin Concerto in D to her brother Stephan von Breuning. To commemorate the history of the family, two of their Riesling Sparkling Wines are named “LUDOVICO” brut and “ELEONORE” halbtrocken(off-dry).

Fermentation and Ageing:
Using traditional bottle fermentation, we carefully produce our hand-made Riesling Sekts, which have matured for at least three years on the lees. The grapes for our Sekt are all sourced from our monopole vineyard Kaseler Dominikanerberg, and all wines are made by hand.

Tasting Notes:
It shows a delicate Riesling flavor, with touch of yellow apple and honey.
On the palate, LUDOVICO is very elegant with a fine mousseux and a balanced play of fruitiness and delicate acidity.
Since the grapes of this sparkling wine have grown on blue slate soil, LUDOVICO shows a cooling minerality which adds to its elegance and character.
