VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO DOC CLASSICO SUPERIORE COLLEZIONE PRUVINIANO

The Pruviniano Collection was created to enhance the wines made with grapes grown in the valley of Marano, in the Valpolicella Classica area. In fact, the territories included in the area of Marano were called “Pruviniano” until 1177. Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore Pruviniano Collection Domìni Veneti has a gratifying ruby-red colour and features a fine and fruity aroma. On the palate it is warm, full-bodied and persistent, with lively tannins and an aftertaste of dried fruit, nuts and toasted almonds. Ideal with red meat, both grilled and braised. Offer it to your guests at 16 – 18°

VINTAGE 2017

A vintage characterized by low quality production. The seasonal trend was overall very good, optimal for ripening and with little incidence of parasitic diseases in the vineyard. An early harvest of about ten days compared to the usual, at the end of a season characterized by some anomalous phenomena, with some areas affected by spring frosts, which reduced production. This factor allowed a homogeneous maturation, with high sugar values that led to the production of complex and intense wines.
