An appealing appassimento style red from the Veneto - produced from classic Amarone and Valpolicella grapes!
Produced from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes harvested from hillside vineyards north of Verona. 'Appassimento' refers to the process by which the grapes are dried for a few months before being pressed and vinified - this technique is more common in the Veneto than elsewhere in Italy. In this instance the grapes are dried for 30 days before vinification, and the wine spends 6 months in oak. The resulting red is rich with some residual sweetness.
Montresor ‘Urban Park’ Appassimento wine has bright berry and black cherry aromas, and a touch of spice. The palate has all of Valpolicella's appealing fresh cherry and ripe bramble fruit, along with added weight and complexity from maturation in oak. Supple tannins lead to a finish of delicate sweetness, offset by fresh acidity. Great with barbecues, slow-cooked and caramelised meat dishes, or strong-flavoured cheeses.
Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
