Production

Cultivation: The Monte Sant'Urano vineyard, located in the town of Fumane at an elevation of 280 to 350 meters, enjoys a sunny environment. The volcanic limestone and clay soil retains moisture, preventing excessive dryness.

Method: The vineyard features Verona-style pergolas supported by dry stone walls, known as "Maronni."

Vinification: The best bunches are hand-selected. In a drying room, they are dried for 110 days under ideal conditions of temperature, humidity, and ventilation. This process results in a 45% reduction in initial weight and a significant increase in sugar content. After crushing, maceration occurs in stainless steel tanks at 16 to 18°C for 28 days, with regular pumping over and délestage. The skins are then separated, and alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation are carried out in 50hl oak barrels. The wine is aged for 24 months in 500L barrels from the Allier region and then for 18 months in 20-40hl oak barrels. Finally, it undergoes bottle aging.

About the Winery

Speri

Speri

Speri is regarded the world over as one of the strongest examples of a producer with a classic Valpolicella style, faithful to the terroir. The company has remained in the family for 7 generations, and its history dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. The family has maintained the same identity since the beginning: a territorial identity and elegance that are reflected in the wines and vintages. The family has made a major contribution to Valpolicella's winemaking tradition, becoming a benchmark throughout the world. Today, the Speri family still vinifies exclusively its own grapes and follows every stage of production, from vine to bottle, with particular attention to tradition and the environment, including organic certification. The Speri winery vinifies only indigenous Valpolicella grapes. In addition to the three traditional grape varieties, Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, small quantities of lesser-known old varieties are used, such as Oseleta, Rossanella, Pelara and Cabrosina.
