WINE DESCRIPTION
Pratello Torrazzo is a captivating wine that hails from the morainic hills of Lake Garda in Lombardy, Italy. This vineyard enjoys an ideal exposure and constant ventilation that allows for perfect ripeness. After harvesting the grapes, a cold maceration occurs for a short period followed by fermentation for 15/18 days at 22/24°C and malolactic conversion. The wine is then aged in stainless steel for 6 months and spends a further 3 months in bottle prior to release. The resultant wine is red-fruited, medium-bodied and gently tannic.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Pratello Torrazzo is a clear ruby red color.The nose is delicate with lifted aromas of turned earth and red fruit. The palate is marked by sour cherry, tart red plum and notes of dried rosemary and sage. The palate is lively and refreshing with gently grippy tannins that frame the red fruit-led palate. The finish is dry and slightly savory, and whilst the flavor profile is not overly complex, the aromas are well-defined and pure.

ORIGINS
Winery: Pratello
Region: Lombardy
Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines.
The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
