DOC Valpolicella Classico Superiore Biologico (Organic)

2018

Our own vineyards cultivated with the “pergola Veronese” growing system, with organic methods. Southern exposure.

20/30 years

Gargagnago locality, Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella (Verona) 200 m a.s.l.

Mainly limestone

15%Oseleta, 40% Corvinone, 45% Corvina and 5% Rondinella

90 quintals per hectare. Every 100 kg of grapes produces 55 – 60 litres of wine.

The red grapes are harvested by hand, left to mature for a longer time on the plant. Once pressed, they are cold macerated and then fermentation starts spontaneously. This is followed by a hot maceration that lasts at least 1 month and serves to extract all the aromas and fragrances of Oseleta, a fine grape, native to Valpolicella. The wine is left to rest, half for at least 12 months in French oak barrels and the other half in steel tanks. It is then bottled without filtration in order to continue its refinement in the bottle for about 1 year.

Indigenous local yeasts.

 Intense ruby ​​red colour with purple hues,notes of spices and ripe red fruit emerge on the nose, such as plums, blackberries and currants.  In the mouth it is soft and persuasive.  The red fruits re-emerge and the delicate tannins lead to a good persistence.

90 quintals per hectare. Every 100 kg of grapes produces 45 – 50 litres of wine.

The grapes, only red, are harvested by hand and immediately timidly pressed to separate the must from the skins. Hence the name “shy”. The spontaneous fermentation without the use of synthetic chemical additives takes place in small steel tanks. We do a short aging on the fine lees for 5 months before being bottled without filtration and aged for at least 4 months.

IGT Verona Corvinone Rosato Sparkling Organic

2020

Gargagnago locality, Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella (Verona) 200 m a.s.l.

Mainly limestone.

100% Corvinone

90 quintals per hectare. Every 100 kg of grapes produces 60 litres of wine.

The grapes are only from Corvinone, which, once picked by hand, are immediately softly pressed with a short must-skins contact. They are immediately put to ferment in steel tanks without the use of chemical additives and with only temperature control. The malolactic fermentation is spontaneous.  Refinement in steel for at least 6 months follows.  Before being bottled without filtration, we add must from dried Corvinone grapes, and then continue its refinement in bottles and obtain a sparkling wine.

The colour is a pale pink. The nose reveals notes of peach and pink grapefruit, while in the mouth it is fresh, lively but gentle, with good acidity and flavour, balanced, slightly salty with characteristic notes of cherry.
