This wine is ruby red in colour with purple highlights. On the nose, the wine displays intense flavours of cherries and blackberry with hints of rose and black pepper. On the palate, this Valpolicella is dry, full-bodied, well-balanced by traditional fresh acidity and smooth tannins.
Vineyards are located on the hillsides of the Valpolicella production area at an altitude between 180-250 metres above sea level and face south-east. Soils here are clay and chalk. The vines are 30 years old on average, with a plant density of about 3,000 vines per hectare.
The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and then softly crushed. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks between 26-30°C with daily pump overs for 8-10 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally. The wine was aged for three months in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks before being bottled.
Corte Giara is the negociant label of Allegrini. The wines are made by Allegrini using fruit sourced from outside their own vineyards. They have a similar stamp of quality that sets them apart from most of the Veronese wines produced at this level. As you might expect from Allegrini, the Valpolicella Ripasso and Amarone offer outstanding typicity and quality.
