Grapes

Corvina:the fruity feature

Called "the queen of thered grapes" in Verona,

is a strong, generousgrape, quite resistant to

the low temperatures of the winter.

The Corvina givesexcellent wines, withscents and taste of acrispy and ripe cherry.

Corvinone:

the spicy featureIt is a variety on its own.

It's a very productive

grape, its berries have thick skins and are veryresistant to the attacks

of gray mold, so it isideal for the grape

drying process. To thewines of Valpolicella it

offers aromas of sweet

spices.

Rondinella:the floral feature

This grape is highly valued for its resistance

to low temperatures, to the attacks of gray moldand to many diseases. Iteasily adapts to all types

of soils and does notsuffer from drought. Itgives to the wines floral

scents slightly vinous

and a dry character.

Molinara:the drinkability

It gives drinkability to Valpolicella wines. It's a

strong, vigorous grape.However, it suffers from the cold, thus it loves

the hillside, with its dry,sunny and breezy soil. If vinified alone, it gives a

wonderful rosé wine, very citrusy and with

enough alcohol.



Amarone: 5 Fundamentals steps

• Grapes for Amarone and Recioto are harvested by hand a week before

those destined for fresh Valpolicella, and put carefully in small chests

• Then they are alternatively placed• in a room with fans and windows, where they will be slowly dried for

3 to 4 months

• or in a temperature and humidity-controlled room, where they will

be dried for 2 to 4 months

• In this period, the grapes dehydrate and lose by 20 to 40% of theirweight, the sugars are concentrated and biochemical functions take

place

• Following, the grapes are crushed, fermented and aged in oak (big

barrels, barrique, both…depending on the style) for almost 2 years

• The final aging before the selling occurs in bottle for 6 months or more
