This wine is from one of Valpolicella Superiore's most important vineyards. It expresses great elegance and complexity. Maceration takes place in stainless steel tanks for 10 days at a controlled temperature of 20-24°C, with daily pumping over and delestage. The wine is then transferred to glass-lined cement tanks. It is aged for 24 months in 500L Allier oak barrels, followed by bottle aging.

Technical Data

Cultivation

Located in the town of Fumane, on a hill at an altitude of 280-350m, the Monte Sant'Urbano vineyard enjoys a sunny environment. The volcanic limestone and clay soil retains moisture well and prevents excessive drying.

- Arrangement: Verona-style pergola, set on a shelf supported by dry stone walls called Maroni

brewing

The best bunches are hand-selected and dried in a drying room for 110 days under ideal conditions of temperature, humidity and ventilation, resulting in a 45% loss of initial weight and a significant increase in sugar content.

After crushing, the wine is macerated in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 16-18°C for 28 days, with regular pumping and delestage. The skins are then separated and the wine undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in 50hL oak barrels. The wine is then aged for 24 months in 500L Allier barrels and for 18 months in 20-40hL oak barrels. The wine is then aged in bottle.
