LINEA CLASSICA

Valcalepio DOC Rosso Riserva

This Valcalepio Rosso Riserva is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon selected grapes, vinified separately and matured for 3 years in oak.
The colour is dark ruby with definite garnet tints around the edges, there is plenty of fruit in aromas of blueberry and candied cherry that mingle with hints of oak, vanilla and herbs. The combination of power and finesse from ripe fruit and oak ageing, gives the wine ample acidity with spicy berry flavours and a mature finish.
Grape Variety : 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vineyard : The grapes for this wine are grown on the slopes of vineyards situated on the hills outside Bergamo. For our RISERVA we selected several vineyards where the growers reduced the crop quite significantly.
Only the best ripen grapes are used to make this wine, since the long maceration during the winemaking process allow to extract all the poliphenolic compounds from the skins.
Vinification : the carefully selected hand harvested grapes are crushed, de-stemmed and pumped to stainless steel tanks.
The juice is left in contact with the skins for 15 days in order to extract colour, tannins and the aromatic compounds. At this stage fermentation takes place at controlled temperature. The two varieties, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, are vinified separately, as soon as the fermentation is finished the blend is made.
Then the wine is aged in French oak cask (25 hl) for 3 years prior to bottling and remains 3 months in bottle before release.
Alcohol : 13% Vol.
Closure : cork
Cantina Bottle Size : 0,75l.
