The wine region of Valpolicella Ripasso
Venetian wine at the crossroads of Valpolicella and Amarone: signature Corvina as the royal red with Rondinella and Molinara — dense garnet robe and fleshy profile with notes of black cherry, cooked plum, cocoa, sweet spices and a balsamic touch, round tannins and a long finish. Emblematic method: second fermentation of Valpolicella on Amarone pomace ("ripasso"), gaining body, alcohol (13-15°) and complexity. DOC (2010), Veronese hills, limestone and basalt.
The wine region of Veneto
World star of Prosecco: fresh, light Glera sparklers with notes of pear, green apple and white flowers, fruity, convivial bubbles. Veronese reds from Corvina and Rondinella: light, crisp Bardolino, fruity Valpolicella, opulent, concentrated Amarone DOCG (black cherry, chocolate, raisin) from dried grapes. Mineral, almondy Soave (Garganega) whites, fresh Pinot Grigio. 97,500 ha, Italy's largest production.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
