Vinification: Tenuta Trabucchi’s Valpolicella Superiore DOC “Galante” 2015 is produced in the prime areas of Fondo San Colombano and Castello, in the municipality of Illasi, from Guyot-trained and espalier-trained vines located at an average altitude of 220 meters above sea level. The grapes—Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Oseleta, and Forselina—are hand-picked from the second week of September to early October, selecting only the finest bunches. This is followed by partial drying for 10–15 days, with a 15% weight loss in humidity-controlled facilities, which concentrates aromas and structure without weighing down the wine.

Aging: after fermentation in stainless steel, the Valpolicella Superiore ages for 12 months in French oak barriques, achieving an elegant, balanced, and nuanced profile.

Service temperature: 18-20°C
