Description
The Corte Giara Merlot Corvina is produced by the Allegrini family, protagonists of the agricultural history of Fumane since the 16th century. Allegrini is closely linked to the Valpolicella DOC, which originates in the province of Verona, and thanks to far-sighted choices, the company is now one of the leaders in Italy, and it is precisely from the family’s Valpolicella that the new generations of winemakers take inspiration. To keep up with the exponential growth of the company and reach a wider range of consumers by diversifying its products, Allegrini has acquired other brands, including Corte Giara. This brand founded in 1989 produces young and innovative wines suitable for any convivial context.
The Allegrini Corte Giara Merlot Corvina is an example of a reinterpretation of the Corvina grape, the prince of Valpolicella, with a presence of 60% Merlot. The soil where they are grown is typical of Verona with medium-textured soil with a prevalence of limestone. The harvest takes place in the first week of September and is handpicked with soft pressing. The fermentation of the must takes place in steel at a controlled temperature of around 26-30°C with daily pumping over. Aged for 4 months in steel and 2 months in the bottle. This innovative wine combines the softness of Merlot with the liveliness and grit of Corvina grapes in a wine with excellent structure, mature and enveloping.
