Speri Sant'Urbano Valpolicella Classico Superiore stands as one of the most notable Valpolicella Superiore wines in the region, crafted from grapes cultivated in the Monte Sant’Urbano vineyard. Following a meticulous selection, the grapes undergo a drying process for approximately 20-25 days, enhancing concentration, aromatic richness, and softness. Achieving equilibrium after around two years of aging, this wine captivates with remarkable elegance and complexity. The vineyard, situated on a hill at an altitude ranging from 280 to 350 meters, boasts an elevated average vine age. The wine, a blend predominantly composed of Corvina Veronese and Corvinone, along with Rondinella and Molinara, undergoes manual harvesting and a subsequent drying phase of 25-30 days. The vinification process includes pressing in November and fermentation with maceration. Aging occurs for 24 months in 500-liter French oak barrels, followed by an additional refinement in the bottle for six months. This meticulous process results in a wine that strikes a harmonious balance between richness and finesse.
