VERONA BIANCO IGT 2020 CALABIONDA

VINEYARD LOCATION

The historical heart of the Valpolicella Classic area.

SOIL TYPE

The soil type is mainly a mix of clay – limestone with a high content of

fragmented stone. This soil type confers both freshness and elegance to

its wines, essential elements for the creation of age worthy wines.

VINEYARDS

The vineyards are located on the famous “Ravazzol” hill, an area that has

demonstrated over time an exceptional vocation for the production of

high-quality wines due to its unique climate and soil type, at an altitude

that ranges from 200 -300 meters above sea level. The vines have an

average age of more than 70 years. Yields per hectare are limited to 5 –

6 thousand Kgs.

HARVEST

In normal conditions the harvest begins in the last week of August and

continues until the beginning of September.

FERMENTATION AND AGEING

The grapes for this wine come from vineyards with prevalently lime stone

soils. The grapes are picked and gathered in small crates, de-stemmed

and delicately pressed to obtain only the free run juice. The juice is then

fermented in 228 litre oak barrels after which it remains on its fine lees

for 10 months to age.

TASTING NOTES

This is an extremely complex wine with notable mineral character,

complexity and length, traits not commonly found in Italian white wines.
