The Valpolicella Superiore Campo Lavei DOC from Cà Rugate is an elegant wine that reflects the authentic essence of its origin, the Verona territory. This wine is primarily made with Corvina grapes, supplemented by a small percentage of Rondinella, which are carefully selected and handpicked in the hillside vineyards of Valpolicella.

Once brought to the cellar, the grapes undergo a light drying process that gives the wine a more concentrated structure and a distinctive aromatic complexity. Afterwards, the wine matures for approximately 18 months in large wooden barrels, which helps to harmonize the flavors and adds subtle notes of spices and vanilla.

From an organoleptic point of view, the Valpolicella Superiore Campo Lavei presents a deep ruby red color. The nose features intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, combined with hints of black pepper and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full and velvety, with a perfect balance between acidity and soft tannins, leading to a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

This wine is ideal to pair with rich meat dishes, such as braised meats and stews, but also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and mushroom-based dishes. The Valpolicella Superiore Campo Lavei DOC from Cà Rugate is an excellent example of how tradition and innovation can converge in a high-quality product, capable of satisfying the most demanding palates.
