WINE DESCRIPTION

Rubinelli Vajol Valpolicella Classico is a refined Italian red wine crafted by Rubinelli Vajol in the renowned Valpolicella Classico appellation. This wine is a blend of 45% Corvina, 35% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella, and 5% Molinara, cultivated using both Pergola veronese and Guyot methods. The vineyards thrive in limestone, tufa, and clay soils, contributing to the wine's distinct character. Hand-harvested in September, the grapes undergo immediate pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged in steel tanks and bottles in a cool, dark cellar carved into the tufa beneath Vajol hill. Rubinelli Vajol Valpolicella Classico offers a harmonious balance of flavors, embodying the elegance and tradition of its historic terroir.
