Pegrandi is a vineyard located in the heart of the Classic Valpolicella region, composed of the autochthonous grape varieties Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. From special care and refinement comes a wine with a consistent body, a good structure and a strong personality.
Grape variety: Corvina Gentile 30%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 30%, Molinara 5%, Raboso Veronese 5%.
Harvest: upon maturation the grapes are carefully selected and placed on bamboo racks, where they undergo a traditional withering process of over four months.
Vinification technique: a slight pressing of the grapes precedes a partial removal of the stalks. After that, a maceration of 15-18 days follows at a low temperature (1-2° C) which favors a higher concentration of primary fragrances. With the progressive increase of temperature, a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation starts, which continues at controlled temperature (13-15° C) in conditions of partial anaerobia for another 30 to 35 days.
Refinement: the pegrandi wine is refined in durmast wood barrels of medium capacity (12.5 hectoliters) for approximately 24 months.
Colour: inscrutable burgundy red.
Bouquet: intense, of red fruit preserved in alcohol (cherry, plum), well combined with noble and persistent spicy scents.
Tasting notes: an important wine, it expresses a definite and elegant tannic structure and is well balanced and persistent.
Alcool: 15,80% Vol.
