Valpolicella DOC 2021 - Montenigo

Valpolicella DOC - Montenigo 

Valpolicella DOC from Montenigo is a fine and mineral red wine with aromatic notes of red fruit and spices. Obtained from Corvina and Rondinella grapes which come from vineyards located on calcareous-clayey soils. The fresh grapes, as soon as they are harvested, are immediately pressed into oak vats where spontaneous fermentation begins in the traditional way, with the only control of the temperature never exceeding twenty-eight degrees. It refines in oak vats for ten months where the malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously, it is then bottled without filtration. Wine throughout the meal, ideal with risottos and soups. Second courses based on meat that are not too elaborate. Excellent with cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature around 16/18° C in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left in the cellar for a few years can give great satisfaction.

Pairings

Try homemade cured meats and cheeses, small sauerkraut, excellent with a boar stew.
