Appasimento Leggero IGT Red 6 x 75cl

Merlot grapes are grown in the warm basaltic soil while Corvina is found in the upper Val d'Alpone. The grapes are left to dry in the vineyard for 30 days, this allows the concentration of the ripe fruit notes and the loss of about 35% of the weight. After pressing, the skins are left in contact with the must to release and transfer the typical colour of this wine. Aged in cask for at least one year. Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The perfume is elegant, spicy and fruity. Rich, round with pleasant spicy and vanilla notes.

The Cantina di Monteforte d’Alpone was constituted in the March of 1952 as a society between 80 winemakers of the zone. Today, members of the Cantina di Monteforte amount to 610, with 1200 hectares of vineyard (80% is DOC). The Cantina di Monteforte is set around the entrance of the Val d’Alpone zone, famous for the Bolca’s fossils and Soave Classico. The land in which the vineyards grow are mainly hill and of volcanic origin that gives to the wines an unmistakeable taste. The exposition of the vineyards and the mild climate complete the harmony and delicacy of the bouquet within the wines.
