Winemaking notes
Fermentation lasts about 15 days at a temperature of 24-26°C in a process designed to make an expressive wine with a great bouquet. The stainless steel tanks are then closed and maceration continues for a further 10 days. The wine is then matured in barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. During the following months the wine is subject to batonnage every other day. It is then matured 8 to 9 months in Slavonian oak barrels of 25 hl; 3 months in cherry wood casks of 600 l; minimum 3 months bottle ageing.
Viticultural notes
Grapres are soureced from the Serego Alighieri vineyards in Gargagnago di Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. The soil is compact red sediment, over eocenic limestone. Excellent exposure for producing wines of great quality.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red in colour with slight purple overtones. Berry fruit and plums on the nose with spiciness provided by hints of cloves and black peppercorns. Good balance between the acidity that delivers freshness on the palate and well integrated tannins. A long fruit-filled finish.
Pairing notes
A versatile wine that can be served throughout a meal. Perfect with red meats and lightly matured cheeses. Best served at 18°C (68° F).
