Valpolicella DOC red wine

Valpolicella Classico

Alcohol content: 13,00% Vol

Bottle size: 750 ml

Description

Valpolicella Classico shines with a bright ruby-red colour and good clarity. On the nose, it expresses a straightforward and honest character, with fragrant notes of sour cherry and redcurrant, lifted by a refreshing balsamic hint. The palate is direct and lively, with enjoyable fruity echoes and a decidedly savoury finish that invites another sip.

With its fresh and easy-going nature, Valpolicella Classico is like the summer breeze that tousles the leaves of our vines each evening, offering relief after a hot and busy day.

The grapes are harvested by hand in the first half of October.

After roller crushing and destemming, fermentation takes place at 26 °C with daily pump-overs, followed by malolactic fermentation to enhance roundness and smoothness.

A versatile wine that pairs well with a meat-based pasta dish, but when served slightly chilled, it also complements fish stews and other lighter seafood preparations.

Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC red wine

Valpolicella Campomasua

Alcohol content: 14,00% Vol

Bottle size: 750 ml

Description

Campomasua shines with a bright ruby-red colour. On the nose, it captivates with round, juicy aromas of freshly picked ripe cherries, complemented by hints of violet, pink pepper and a solid mineral undertone. The palate is well-balanced and highly enjoyable, exhibiting excellent linearity and drinkability, leading to a clean, elegant finish.

Sunlight warms our marogne, the old dry-stone walls that support our vineyards, gradually infusing the grapes with light and warmth. The grapes are harvested by hand in the first week of October.

After roller crushing and destemming, the must undergoes 10 days of maceration on the skins with daily pump-overs. Fermentation takes place at 20 °C, followed by racking and transfer to oak barrels, where the wine matures for 12 months. It is then refined in bottle for a further six months.

This is a wine that calls for boldly flavoured dishes. It beautifully enhances the taste of a grilled Florentine steak, a selection of aged cheeses, or more elaborate preparations such as oven-roasted game.

Valpolicella Ripasso DOC red wine

Semonte Alto

Alcohol content: 14,50% Vol

Formato: 750 ml – 1500 ml

Description

Semonte Alto presents a deep, luminous ruby-red colour. On the nose, it opens with initially spicy and toasted notes, gradually revealing aromas of dark fruit such as blackberry and blueberry, alongside hints of liquorice and dried violet. The palate is taut, fresh and savoury, with satisfying tannins that cleanse the mouth and invite another sip.

Matured in medium-toast oak, Semonte Alto is intense and spiced, reminiscent of the grand barrels that rest neatly, side by side, in our cellar. The grapes are harvested by hand in the first half of October.

Produced using the traditional ripasso technique, the vintage wine, vinified in October, undergoes a second fermentation in February-March on the intact Amarone grape skins for about 10 days, with daily pump-overs. After racking, the wine is transferred to oak barrels for 12 months of maturation. Finally, it is refined in bottle for six months after bottling.

A wine with a bold character that pairs beautifully with succulent meat dishes, such as rabbit stew or roast pork. It is also intriguing with soft cheeses with bloomy rinds, such as Brie.
