History

C Von Nell-Breuning家族作為魯沃河(Ruwertal)最早的傳統氣泡酒生產者，早於二百多年前已開始釀造德式傳統氣泡酒，每瓶均在瓶內作第二次發酵，至今仍然堅持人手轉瓶。
為記念家族多年的好友兼偉大的作曲家貝多芬，酒莊特地釀製了這款Ludovico來向他致敬。葡萄均選自Mosel-Saar-Ruwer獨家Monopole葡萄園Kaseler Dominikanerberg，而在1911年，他們的葡萄酒便獲得俄國沙皇尼古拉二世垂青，曾將1100瓶Dominikanerberg Monopole葡萄酒送到俄國皇宮供沙皇享用。Dominikanerberg Monopole葡萄園最高處達海拔350米，坐向魯沃河西南偏南幾乎45度的斜坡上。泥土是魯沃河珍貴的藍色泥盆紀風化板岩(Blue Devonian Weathered Slate)，地質早於四點二億年前魚類時代(Ages of Fishe)已存在。這罕有的藍板岩令其釀造的Riesling帶有獨特高雅的貴族氣息，並不是一般Riesling Sekt甚至一般Deutscher Sekt可以媲美。

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).

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.
