Valpolicella Classico DOC - Corte Aleardi 2024

Corte Aleardi’s Valpolicella Classico DOC is produced in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella near Verona. It is made mainly from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes, together with other varieties permitted by the regulations. The grapes come from hillside vineyards planted on clay and calcareous soils. Harvest generally takes place from mid-September to mid-October.

The winemaking process begins with destemming and pressing, followed by alcoholic fermentation of the must with the grape skins. Gentle punch-downs help extract colour and aromas. The wine ages for several months in stainless-steel tanks in the underground cellar before completing its refinement in bottle. In the glass, it shows a ruby-red colour and a delicate bouquet of iris, rose and violet, accompanied by notes of red fruit. On the palate, it is fresh, dry or slightly soft, pleasantly lively and balanced. This is a traditional red wine that expresses the character of the classic Valpolicella area through its clear fruit profile and elegant, easy-drinking style.
