Tasting note
Intensely sweet Veneto red, offering a noseful of raspberries, plum and cherry, followed by a mouthful of more berries, spice, vanilla and cacao.
Unique Selling Point
Full-bodied rich and sweet red: like port, but more maraschino cherries and less alcoholic, this is great with chocolate.
Vineyard
Marl-limestone on the eastern slope and and clay-limestone on the western slope of Bertani's Valpolicella Valpantena vineyard.
Viticulture
Trained in a combination of Guyot and Pergola systems on vines 15-20 years old.
Vinification
Made by naturally drying the fruit in the Grezzana winery. Fermentation is interrupted when sugar residue is at 120 gr/l. It is then aged in cherry wood barrels for about 12 months.
Food Match
Lovely for any occasion where port would be good, but will give less hangover, as it is not fortified. Stilton, cheese and chutney, chocolate puddings and rich desserts with berries are ideal.
