Description

Veronese Rosso IGT "Cal winter" is made from grapes left to over-ripen in the vineyard until the harvest, which runs from the end of October to mid-November. After harvesting, the grapes pass in the fruit drying room for a period of drying and are subsequently destemmed and pressed. After fermentation the wine is aged in barriques and tonneaux.

It shows a ruby red color to the eye. The olfactory profile is expressed with fruity aromas of blackberry, raspberry and cherries in alcohol, to which are added herbaceous notes and nuances of dried flowers, as well as hints of tobacco and chocolate. A complex sip with good consistency, an elegant, full-bodied and balanced tannin that seduces and conquers the palate from the first sip.

It is recommended to pair it with second courses of red meat, mixed cured meats and porchetta and mature cheeses.
