TASTING NOTES

Production

The Bennati winery has a long-standing history deeply rooted in the Veneto wine scene. It was in 1870 that Antonio Bennati was born in Cazzano di Tramigna, a village not far from Soave. He began producing wine at a young age, but it was in 1920 that he decided to establish the Bennati winery together with his son Annibale. From there began a continuous production of what are now the main wines of Valpolicella, with a constant focus on innovation whilst never turning their backs on the past and tradition. A new winery, new vineyards, and new projects to re-evaluate traditional local techniques, in collaboration with the University of Udine, make the Bennati winery one of the most cutting-edge and leading estates in the area. The Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Sfojà is the result of the harvest of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes, vinified and kept in stainless steel until January. Once the dried Amarone grapes have been pressed, the Ripasso Sfojà is then ‘passed over’ them, meaning it is brought into contact with the pressed Amarone pomace and undergoes a second fermentation, acquiring characteristics of richness and complexity. Finally, the wine is aged in small oak barrels and then bottled. Energy value (E): 321 kJ/71 kcal

THE WINERY

Bennati

After Antonio Bennati, known as Toni Recioto, a nickname derived from the dried grape wine of the same name, had spent 50 years trading wine in famous straw flasks, his son Annibale founded the Cantine Bennati in 1920 in Cazzano di Tramigna, which today still offers the best wines from the Valtramigna area of Veneto. It is a winery in continuous evolution. New crushing machinery and a new logistics centre ensure efficiency and speed to meet demand. Bennati also has new vineyards where it is implementing plans to reassess the traditional production techniques of its wines. These plans also aim to enhance the offer, limiting production of high quality wines, which can transmit the values of the land with their scents and aromas. The excellence of the Valtramigna production area is an important factor that contributes to the production of some of the most renowned red and white wines of the Veneto region. These include lines of great prestige such as Valpolicella, Amarone, Lugana and Soave. Name and address of producer/distributor: Bennati - Via Legnaghi Corradini, 38 37030 Cazzano di Tramigna VR. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
