Vinification Details
- These grapes were naturally dried for 3-4 months in a drying facility. This was followed by a gentle pressing and destemming and fermentation lasted up to 14 days with regular periodic pump overs. The wine was aged in oak for 12 months.
History
- Run by Luca Degani since 1995, the Cantina di Valpantena is now one of Italy's best co-operatives, with 700 hectares of vineyard producing excellent quality fruit.
Regional Information
- Cantina di Valpantena is situated in the Valpantena, northeast of Verona. Known as the 'valley of god' to the ancient Greeks, this area is well-known for its high quality red wines, due partly to the soils but also because of the cool breeze that blows down the valley from the foothills of the Dolomites.
