Bertani Valpolicella Classico DOC Ognissanti Villa Novare

Valpolicella Classico Ognisanti Bertani is a full-bodied and structured wine that comes from the Ognisanti cru in the Villa Novare's estate. This wine and this piece of land are named after the small church located in the middle of the vineyard. Made with Corvina, Veronese and Rondinella grapes, this wine is the result of the slightly late harvest carried out by hand around middle of October. This delay is possible only in areas which are very suitable for wine-growing, such as the Ognisanti cru that is able to deliver a wine of great maturity and concentration. The vinification takes place in temperature controlled steel tanks and provides a long maceration with the skins and a fermentation that is carried out at temperatures which are not very high in order to express the aromatic potential of these grapes at its best, without exceeding with the extraction of polyphenols. Afterwards the wine is separated from the skins and one quarter of it is put to in age in new French oak barriques and the rest in old barriques for 18 months before being blended and bottled.
