- A rich and concentrated Valpolicella with aromas of peppery tobacco and spice. Rich red fruits on the round and balanced palate combine with savoury notes through to a long, luscious finish.
An estate comprising 12 hectares of vineyard, with eight hectares designated for the Valpolicella grapes. The south easterly facing vineyard sits at 200 to 250 metres above sea level atop a volcanic basaltic soil structure. Trained to the Guyot pruning method, the 10 year old vines are planted at a density of 7,500 vines per hectare.
Roccolo Grassi was established in 1996 by Bruno Sartori and his two children Francesca and Marco. Based in Veneto, they produce wines of unique character and strong personality, which are expressive of their origins. Winemaker Marco Sartori is one of hottest talents in the region. His philosophy is very simple; yields in the vineyard are significantly reduced to obtain a fabulous fruit concentration. The 14-hectares of vineyard are meticulously cultivated and minimal intervention takes place in the winery,
to allow the characteristics of each of the crus to be fully expressed. The result is a collection of world class wines distinguished by their pure elegance.
