The Corte Giara Ripasso La Grolettais produced by the Allegrinifamily, protagonists of the agricultural history of Fumanesince the 16th century. Allegrini is closely linked to the Valpolicella DOC, which originates in the province of Verona, and thanks to far-sighted choices, the company is now one of the leaders in Italy, and it is precisely from the family’s Valpolicella that the new generations of winemakers take inspiration. To keep up with the exponential growth of the company and reach a wider rangeof consumersby diversifying its products, Allegrini has founded other brands, including CorteGiara. This brand founded in 1989 produces young and innovative wines suitable for any convivial context.
The Allegrini Corte Giara Ripasso La Grolettais one of the revisited versions of Valpolicella to have the DOC certification, produced only in Fumane and among a few other municipalities in the Verona area. It is composed of 70% Corvina grapes and 30% Rondinella, grown in the typical variegated, mostly calcareous soil of the Verona area and harvested manuallyin the second half of September. After destemming and soft pressing, the must is fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of around 23/28°C. Before aging, the peculiarsecondfermentationtakes place as per the Valpolicella Ripasso regulations, on the dried marc of the Amarone, which gives it its characteristic aromas and increases its alcohol content. The second fermentation lasts 9/10 days with daily pumping over and is carried out in February. It is then aged in steel for 4 months, in Slavonian oakbarrels for 11 months and the final aging in the bottlefor 2 months.
