Tasting Notes (Recomendado):Appearance: Cresasso shows a deep, purplish-edged ruby, leaving its mark on the glass, and creates a rich array of dense, viscous legs. Bouquet: A wealth of appealing aromas opens with appealing red berry fruit, bright cherry, and blackberry, yielding, after a few moments, to deeper, richer impressions of black cherry, stewed prunes, and fruit preserves. Particularly intriguing are notes of liqueur cherries and sour cherry that gradually meld into sweet-sour tamarind. Palate: Cresasso is a rich, full-flavored Corvina without excessive tannins. The first sip announces an elegant wine with an impressive structure and velvet smooth texture. A judicious level of alcohol and a fine complex of aromas on the palate develop into an almost endless finale that beautifully mirrors the bouquet. Its considerable body and the fine equilibrium of all its components place it among the great Valpoicella wines that display fine cellaring potential. Serving suggestions: Its fine structure allows Cresasso to pair well with all rich, full-flavored dishes. Perfect with grills and roasts, with game, and a wide range of traditional sausages, as well as with aged cheeses and with rich sauces of spices and tomatoes.

Vinificación (elaboración del vino)

Método:Vinification and maturation: After a careful sorting out of the best lots in the vineyard, the grapes are destemmed and pressed. A slow, ca.25-day fermentation on the skins follows, at a controlled temperature and with frequent pump-over. The wine then goes to 500- liter French oak tonneaux for and 18-month maturation, after which it spends further time in glass before release.
