Cellar
Speri is one of the historical and authoritative families of Veronese viticulture, with an international appeal and distribution that touches 60 countries. The company's strength lies in its respect for tradition, which is carried on with passion, respect and a quest for excellence. The history of the company began in the first half of the 19th century and today the Speri family has reached the seventh generation with an extension of about 60 hectares of vineyards in the most suitable areas of Valpolicella Classica.
Description
Produced using the RIPASSO technique deliberately applied more restrictively than the production regulations, it is obtained by repassing the Valpolicella Classico on the marc of Amarone just once, resulting in an authentic wine of terroir.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Intense ruby red in colour, it has hints of red fruit, spices and cocoa on the nose. In the mouth it is warm and soft, well balanced by round tannins. Spicy tones return, well supported by good acidity and the right alcohol content.
Storage time:
5-7 years
Vinification
After manual harvesting, immediate pressing of the grapes and subsequent maceration at a controlled temperature. At the beginning of March, the Valpolicella Classico is repassed over the Amarone marc just once.
