Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Cru Monti Garbi

70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Croatina
The vineyards of Tenuta Sant"Antonio lie on the Monti Garbi: harsh and impervious soil, but generous with great wines. Like this splendid combination of Valpolicella Giovane and Amarone skins. The Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Monti Garbi of Tenuta Sant'Antonio is born in vineyards located in the municipalities of Colognola ai Colli and Mezzane di Sotto, in the province of Verona. It is mainly produced with Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, harvested only by hand. After a soft pressing, the grapes ferment in barriques at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts, used for the Amarone grapes. Subsequently the wine ages in barrique for 15-16 months before being bottled.
