Making an interesting wine, with a varied aromatic and gustatory profile, not demanding but far from “easy drinking”, respecting the varieties of Valpolicella, this is the common thread that guides us to best interpret this face of Valpolicella sometimes unfairly undervalued.
Therefore giving dignity and space to the wine that in the past for a long time has represented the history and tradition of our land. Our Valpolicella d.o.c. is born from these premises, with a slender but full and balanced structure, of good consistency, fragrant when young and able to evolve into a pleasant complexity for a few years.
VINEYARDS
The selected vineyards are exclusively devoted to this wine, and grapes are not selected for raisining. The vineyards are located in Avesa and Parona and the soil is of medium and somewhat stoney consistency.
The vines are the youngest trained according to the Guyot system with a den-sity of 5,000 plants/hectare.
GRAPES
The field blend is typical of the Valpolicella area with prevalence of Corvina (70% of the total) and the rest Rondinella.
ALCOHOL: 13 % Vol.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are manually harvested and selected during the first week of Octo-ber. They are immediately crushed and left to ferment at controlled tempera-tures for 10 days. Pumping-over is repeated until sugar content is exhausted. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation in steel tanks and the wine is then aged for six/eight months in used vats. This is followed by a brief standing in steel before being bottled in August of the year after harvest.
AGING
Aging continues in bottles for at least another six months before the wine is ready for marketing.
Appropriately stored bottles evolve correctly for up to five years after harvest.
SENSORY FEATURES
Ruby red, bright colour. Rich, variegated aroma, grapey and fruity. Fresh, well-structured mouthfeel, sustained by a balanced acidity and all-rounded tannins. Good nose-palate finish.
COMBINATION
Recommended for main courses with meat sauces and vegetable dishes of Mediterranean tradition and fish in tomato sauce.
The wine is best served at ambient temperature in a suitably capacious glasses.
