Vinification:

The Valpolicella Superiore Classico DOC DolceVera is obtained ffrom the best grapes harvested towards the beginning of October. After being selected with an extremely careful selection, we proceed with the pressing and destemming, the fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24 ° C and the maceration on the skins lasts approximately 20 days. What you get is an elegant Valpolicella Superiore with silky tannins and an important aging potential.

Aging:

The Valpolicella Superiore Classico DOC of DolceVera matures in 7.5 ht casks and then makes a transition into large casks, all for a period of 24 months. For aging they use both French oak, which releases soft and silky notes to the wine, and Slavonian oak, which gives a very interesting aromatic body of spices. Everything is done in the small cooperage built near the main vineyard of Villa.
