TASTING NOTES

Corte Sant'Alda is a splendid Veneto winery nestled in the Valpolicella area, in Valle di Mezzane, one of the most beautiful places in the province of Verona. This area has always been renowned for its fertility, thanks to its abundance of water. Its many rivulets and streams have enabled a flourishing agriculture and have encouraged settlements. In 1983, Marinella Camerini, a talented interpreter of Italian oenology, started the production of wines with her family, following artisanal, biodynamic, and sustainable practices in vineyards which today cover 20 hectares of land with soils rich in calcareous deposits. Respect for nature and the utmost attention to the balance of the ecosystem are combined with innovation and experimentation: barrels of different woods, concrete tanks, fibreglass and amphora. All grapes have organic and Demeter certification and are harvested by hand at the optimal time of maturation, with several passages through the vineyards, and fermentation starts spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in 40 hl oak vats. Amarone della Valpolicella Valmezzane is composed of 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone and 20% Rondinella, and is the first Amarone della Valpolicella to achieve biodynamic certification. Harvested by hand and sorted carefully so that the fruits are ripe and widely spaced, the grapes are taken to the drying loft for a few months where a 60-65% physiological drop in volume occurs meaning that the grapes undergo significant concentration. Pressing takes place in February, and fermentation and maceration on the skins last about a month, after which the wine is aged for 4 years in 5-10-25 hl oak barrels. The colour is intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Notes of ripe red fruits intertwine with hints of liquorice, black pepper and a chocolate finish. The taste is full, intense, full-bodied and balanced. A great wine for a great occasion, perhaps to pair with roasts, grilled and braised meats, game but also very mature cheeses. Read more Read less
