Characteristics:
An exclusive wine born from a vineyard situated in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the vineyard from which the wine takes its name.
This name “la Permuta” is derived from the history of the vineyard. In the past, these grapes were noted for their unique characteristics and were used as a unit of exchange among the farmers in the area.
The sunny position, hilly terrain and poor stony calcareous soil, and ideal microclimate give this wine superior characteristics.
Produced from a careful selection of red grapes typical of Valpolicella Classica, partially dried (a traditional process called appassimento) in dedicated drying chambers.
Vinification:
In the second half of January, after careful appassimento, the grapes are vinified.
The resulting must is transferred to temperature-controlled barrels to ferment for 15 days, during which, it is frequently pumped over to extract color and aromas from the skins.
Tasting Notes:
Intense garnet red color. Full flavored, delicate and sweet with wild cherry and forest fruit aromas.
Pairing:
An ideal dessert wine, above all with biscuits or petit fours; pairs nicely with piquant cheeses.
Advice:
Serve at room temperature, 12°-14°C (53°-57°F).
Percent Alcohol:
13 %
