Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC Tenuta Lena di Mezzo MONTE DEL FRÀ

From a blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes comes this red wine from the Veneto region of Monte del Frà Winery: the vineyards are located in the Valpolicella Classica area at an altitude of 250-450 m above sea level. Harvesting takes place during the month of October and is followed by soft crushing and destemming with fermentation in stainless steel; in order to optimise the extraction of the polyphenolic components, punching-down is carried out daily, i.e. the remixing of the layer of marc created on the surface during fermentation. Once malolactic fermentation has taken place, the wine is placed in barrels for at least 18 months, with final ageing in bottles for a further 5/6 months.
