Verona is known all over the world for its great wines. There are many guides that help the consumer to choose and, as often happens, too much information creates confusion.<\/p>\n
We want to report here some details that seem useful to us for planning your WINE TOUR and that will help you in the tastings in the cellar.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Amarone, Recioto and Valpolicella are all wines produced with the same blend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CORVINA VERONESE, CORVINONE, RONDINELLA, MOLINARA and OSELETA<\/p>\n
The uniqueness of Veronese wine compared to all other great Italian wines lies right here:<\/p>\n
“While other great Italian reds are made from a single grape variety, these great Veronese reds are the combination of native grapes that are expertly combined by the winemaker!”<\/p>\n
In a WINE TOUR you will not only appreciate the TERRITORY, but also the precise choices of the winemaker. Therefore, more than any other Italian wine, in the Veronese you will discover:<\/p>\n
TERRITORY, VINTAGE, GRAPES<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the CORVINA grape gives STRUCTURE to the wine<\/p>\n
the grape CORVINONE PERFUMES and AMONIA<\/p>\n
the RONDINELLA grape gives SUGAR and fragrance<\/p>\n
the MOLINARA grape gives ACIDITY<\/p>\n
the OSELETA grape strengthens the STRUCTURE and enriches the olfactory richness<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All these grapes come from NATIVE VINES, or ORIGINALS OF OUR TERRITORY, not transplanted from other areas!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the advantage of having different grapes is to reduce the vintage effect in the wine that will be produced.<\/p>\n
Now other indications to be able to better read the LABEL of a wine. These rules apply to our wines as well as to other Italian areas.<\/p>\n
Regarding the TERRITORY for the production of Valpolicella there is a very specific production area called CLASSICA. So, when we find “CLASSIC” written next to the name of the wine, it means that it was produced in a very specific geographical area. The CLASSIC denomination area is shown below.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The word SUPERIORE can also be found on the label. Valpolicella wine receives the denomination of superior when the aging in oak barrels takes place for a minimum of 12 months starting from January 1st following the harvest and the alcohol content is higher than 12%.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another frequent annotation found on the label is the wording RIPASSO, which indicates a particular production process where the wine is “passed over” precisely in the marc of the amarone, so as to guarantee the wine greater structure and strength!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With these little notions you have the tools to deepen the great Veronese reds and read each label. Good wine tour!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
