Corvina Veronese IGT 2017 Casalforte

The Castelforte line offers a selection of traditional labels from the best Veronese oenology. This Corvina Veronese is proof of this. The name is inspired by the Castle of Monteforte, a construction erected in the year 1000 to defend against enemy attacks.

It is obtained from the pressing of Corvina grapes with a high sugar content, vinified with the Ganimede system which consists in the continuous mixing of the pomace in order to favor the extraction of coloring substances and tannin. The wine ages partly in steel and partly in wooden barrels for 12 months.

It shows an intense ruby red color. On the nose, hints of black cherry and ripe blackberry stand out, supported by light touches of vanilla and sweet spices. On the palate it is a pleasant, elegant and balanced wine.

At the table it goes well with red meats, game and long-aged cheeses.
