Sengiarossa Verona Rosso IGT 2019

Grape Variety

Corvina, Merlot, Rondinella and other indigenous varieties to finish.
Vineyard (geographical location and characteristics)
The vineyards are all situated high in the hills north of Verona. The average age is 20 years but varies from 10 years for Merlot to more than 50 years for the indigenous varieties. The soil, partly calcareous for the Merlot and partly volcanic, is mostly well structured.

Vinification

After being harvested, the grapes are left to raisin for about a month and are then crushed and destemmed. The must undergoes heat-controlled fermentation (from 22 to 24°C) for about 15 days. This is followed by devatting and “clean” racking in steel tanks and then ageing in large oak barrels for more than a year. The process finishes with ageing in bottles for a few months.

Sengiarossa & Cucina

Recommended as an accompaniment to red meat dishes, whether roasts, stews or grills. Also a perfect match for mature cheeses which are not too piquant. Serve at 18-20°C in broad-rimmed crystal glasses.
