Tasting note

When young, it is delicate, fresh and exquisitely-balanced, which develops a wealth of fantastic complexity and nuance as it ages. It has outstanding purity and vibrancy, and there are notes of ripe strawberries, cream, vanilla and white pepper, with intriguing, savoury, rich undertones. From an outstanding site on the Novare estate.

Viticulture

The vineyard is made up of eight terraces located uphill from the little Ognisanti church dating from the 16th century, which it is named after. Exposure: west. Soils: Eocene calcareous white and pinkish-white marl soils, with a shallow effective soil depth (50 cm) and a sandy-silty texture.

Vinification

Careful bunch selection and relaxed maceration make for a Valpolicella that improves its balance, vibrant tannic structure and persistent sapidity thanks to one year of ageing in oak barrels. After a further period of 6 months in the bottle, the wine is ready to display the superior character of this strip of land in the Valpolicella Classica area.

Food Match

Ognisanti is a wine that goes well with medium structured dishes, ideal with char-grilled meat, roasts and medium-mature cheese.
