WINE DESCRIPTION

This Valpolicella Superiore, a blend of Corvina and Rondinella, originates from carefully selected vineyards in Valpolicella. The winemaking process involves crushing and destemming the grapes, followed by a controlled temperature fermentation of 22-26°C for 10 days. In a unique twist, at the end of December, the wine is poured over the grape skins of Amarone, enhancing its body and complexity. Aged in French and American oak barrels ranging from 5 to 20 hectoliters for 8-12 months, the result is a rich, complex wine with a harmonious interplay of fruitiness, structure, and subtle oak influences.
