Winemaker Notes
"Malavoglia” comes from a typical blend of the Veneto terroir, dominated by Corvina, to which are added small percentages of Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara. The vines of these four varieties are grown on calcareous and clayey soils following organic farming practices. The grapes, carefully selected during the harvest phase, ferments thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts; the must is then passed over the pomace of Amarone and Recioto, starting a second fermentation. The refinement lasts for 18 months in large capacity oak barrels.
