Vinification: The fresh grapes, just picked, are immediately pressed in oak barrels where spontaneous fermentation begins, with only temperature control. At the end of fermentation, the wine rests in cement awaiting the pressing of the Recioto, which will take place in early January. Once this is reached, the "Ripasso" is performed, a traditional process that consists of bringing into contact for a few days with the Recioto skins rich in colorants, sugars, and aromatic substances typical of drying to a a firmer, softer, and more aromatic wine available. Aged at least 30 months in oak barrels. Bottled unfiltered and with a low sulfite content.

Color: Ruby red color with light orange reflections

Aroma: Ripe red fruits, spices, and a light touch of cocoa.

Aging potential: 2030

At what temperature to drink: The ideal serving temperature is between 16° and 18°C

We instantly fell in love with the wines of Montenigo. Exceptional finesse combined with the intense fruitiness that characterizes Valpolicella wines.

Top class!
