VINIFICATION

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and left to dry in the fruit cellar for about two months, where the bunches lose about 25-30% of their weight, resulting in a concentration of the substances present in the berries. After destemming, alcoholic fermentation begins with whole grapes in steel tanks for about 25-30 days at a controlled temperature of 20°-22° C.

 

Continuous punching down is carried out to promote the extraction of colour and tannins. At the end of this process, the wine is transferred to French oak barriques and tonneaux, where malolactic fermentation takes place, giving the wine its smoothness. After about 18-20 months of ageing, the wine is bottled for a further 4 months of refinement.

TASTING NOTES

Thanks to the alternating weather conditions, the wine has a crisp texture and lively freshness on both the nose and the palate. The nose is characterised by notes of dark berries and leather, while on the palate the tannins are firm and refreshing. The sip lengthens on vanilla notes.

Cascina
S. Vincenzo

The vineyard of about 8 hectares is located on the same ridge as Mizzole, about 8 km to the north and at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level, at the entrance to the Valpantena. These are native vines that are about 20 years old and have always been grown organically.

The soil is clayey-calcareous, typical for the Valpolicella area. The clayey part depends on the transformation of the rocks in this area where the clay retains the minerals, making them available to the plant. The soil mix is the best combination to give rise to products of great elegance and finesse. The grape varieties cultivated are Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella.
