Valpolicella Classico is a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella and Molinara. Sourced from the historic Valpolicella region, vineyards boast clayey, calcareous soils enriched with tufa and stone layers. Situated at 150 to 300 meters above sea level, the vineyards enjoy optimal east/south-east exposure. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts occurs in stainless steel at a controlled 25°C. After a seven-day maceration period, the wine ages on fine lees for an additional five months. This process yields a Valpolicella of distinctive character, reflecting the terroir's nuances and showcasing the elegance of traditional winemaking techniques.
