Case Vecie Valpolicella Superiore Doc

Focus

Discover where this wine comes from

Valpolicella Superiore Case Vecie derives from the vinification of fresh grapes, mainly Corvina and Corvinone. It borrows its name from the homonymous high-altitude vineyard, where ripening is subject to significant temperature variations between day and night: a climatic feature that gives the wine its distinctive spicy notes on the nose and a particularly unique polyphenolic profile. On the palate, the vibrant acidity reveals a notable structure, the result of careful grape selection and winemaking techniques aimed at extracting only the noblest components from the skins. The result is a Valpolicella that combines body, structure and remarkable drinkability, revealing a sensory complexity shaped by the slow ripening of the grapes.
