The wine region of Valpolicella Ripasso Classico
"Little Amarone" from Valpolicella Classico (Fumane, Marano, Negrar, San Pietro, Sant'Ambrogio): Valpolicella Superiore repassed on still-fermenting Amarone marcs — Corvina (45-95%), Corvinone (≤50%) and Rondinella (5-30%). Intense reds with aromas of candied cherry, ripe red fruits, dried fruits, vanilla and wood spices, medicinal notes. Silky and full-bodied palate, fine tannins and long finish. Venetian DOC, gourmet alternative to Amarone.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
