Le Calendre - Valpolicella Classico Superiore

Key words: Elegant / Fruity / Fragrant

The wine: The estate Le Calendre delights us here with this beautiful Valpolicella full of finesse. The nose is very charming and the glass releases sweet scents of cherry, raspberry as well as a touch of violet and pepper. The palate matches, offering us a very pure fruitiness and an intense concentration. A light woodiness underlines a delicate ensemble, slightly tannic and very fragrant. An excellent wine with a beautiful presence which will go wonderfully with cold meats, red meats and other choice Italian dishes.

The estate: Le Calendre is a family farm with 4 hectares extending over the commune of San Pietro in Cariano, north of Verona and in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico DOC. Here, the vines are cultivated using a system of pergolas providing the grapes with more light and wind, thus promoting maturity and helping to avoid certain diseases. At the estate, the work is hand-stitched and every detail is important, from the care given to the vines throughout the year to the precision of the slightest gesture during winemaking. Although not officially certified, the cultivation methods and techniques used in the winery are similar to organic farming. Discover this small estate producing wines of great finesse and worthily representing the region as well as its Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara grape varieties.
