Magnum Blauburgunder St....
<br />South Tyrol DOC<br />Pinot Noir Riserva<br />Sanct Valentin<br /><br />Pinot Noir has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850 and is also known in many places as Pinot Noir. It is the winery's most important red wine. This grape variety is a<br />very special challenge for the winemaker, as it is very demanding in terms of soil and climate, and must also be processed with special care in the cellar. For the Pinot Noir<br />Sanct Valentin, which has been part of the prestige line since 1995, only grapes from the best vineyards and oldest vines are used. Extremely low yields and the greatest<br />care produce an elegant and highly sensual wine, characterised by structure, balance and fine tannins.<br /><br />Eye: ruby red<br />Nose: small red berries, strawberry, violet, smoky notes, cinnamon.<br />Taste: spicy, smooth, elegant and seductive<br />Variety description: Pinot noir<br />Growing site: older vineyards in St. Michael-Eppan and surroundings (400-550 m)<br />Exposure: south-southeast to south-southwest<br />Soils: moraine rubble and limestone gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot <br />Vine age: 8 to 26 years<br />Harvest: mid-September; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: Cold maceration (three days) followed by fermentation and soft pressing.

Ripassa Valp. DOC 2020...
Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore<br /><br /><br />Immediately after the fermentation of the Amarone raisins, the best selection of Valpolicella 'ripassa' on the Amarone marc, starting the second short fermentation; in this<br />way the alcohol content increases and a product richer in colour, extracts and aromas is obtained.<br /><br />After ageing in French oak tonneaux for 18/20 months, it is then left to rest in the bottle for 6 months.<br /><br />The result of this process is a refined and concentrated wine, extremely soft and velvety, with intense aromas of small red fruits.<br /><br />Ripassa offers fruity scents and fine tannins on the palate, with an aura of chocolate and spices. It represents one of the most significant wines in Zenato's oenological<br />evolution.<br /><br />Grape varieties: 85% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, 5% Corvinone.<br />Geographical location and characteristics of the vineyard: hilly area of Valpolicella, south-eastern and south-western exposure.<br />Average altitude of the land: 250-300 metres above sea level.<br />Soil type: predominantly cretaceous, calcareous<br />Training system and planting density: guyot, with about 5,000 vines per hectare.<br />Average age of vines: 10/15 years old<br />Number of buds: 8/10 per plant<br />Yield per hectare: 100 quintals<br />Harvest time and method: first and second ten days of October.

After alcoholic fermentation, the new wine is separated from the skins<br />by means of a soft press and stored in steel tanks until January, when the dried grapes are pressed to produce Amarone. At this point, the Valpolicella is 'repassed' on the<br />Amarone marc with a 7-8 day period at a temperature of 25-28°C. This is followed by 18 months of refinement in tonneaux and a few months of bottle ageing in<br />temperature-controlled environments.<br />Colour: deep ruby red.<br />Bouquet: intense, fine and persistent, with hints of black cherry and plum.<br />Taste: harmonious and velvety, with good structure.<br />Serving temperature: 18°C<br />Food pairings: an excellent companion to game dishes, grilled meats and roasts, cured meats and mature cheeses.<br />

Teroldego superiore Riserva...
Teroldego Rotaliano Superiore DOC Riserva<br />THE MASO<br /><br />Within the framework of Trentino oenology, Teroldego has always had a prestigious role and for this reason it is called the 'prince wine' of Trentino. No one has so far<br />been able to say anything certain about its origin. Some say that a long time ago the Teroldego, a vine variety cultivated in the Veronese area, was brought to that large<br />nest called Campo Rotaliano, others, instead, date its origins back to the hills of Sorni, while others maintain that the name Teroldego derives from the German Tiroler Gold,<br />that is, Gold of the Tyrol. What is certain is that the first entry of the name of this vine in literature dates back to the 18th century in the oenological disquisitions of<br />Michelangelo Mariani, historiographer of the Council of Trent.<br /><br />Production area: from vineyards located in the most suitable areas of Campo Rotaliano in Trentino, in the municipality of Mezzolombardo. The soil is alluvial on gravel<br />banks of the Noce torrent, shallow, tends to be loose and well drained.<br /><br />Grape varieties: 100% Teroldego, a native Trentino vine. The yield per hectare is limited to no more than 80 quintals of grapes per hectare.<br /><br /><br />Analytical data: -Alcohol: 13,50% vol -Total acidity: 5,20g/l -Net dry extract: 30,80g/l-Sugars: dry-Contains sulphites<br /><br />Organoleptic characteristics: extremely dense ruby red wine with violet hues. The nose presents aromatic notes of small red fruits and violets. Important, well-structured on<br />the palate, balanced and enveloping thanks to the sweet tannins. The taste has an intense aftertaste of blackberry and blueberry.<br /><br />Pairings: Roasted red meats, game and very mature cheeses.<br />Serving temperature: 16 -18°C<br />
