  • La Fabriseria Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore 2010 35% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 5% Oseleta
    Nicolò Tedeschi founded the company that bears his name in the Valpolicella area in 1824. He was a genuine personality of his time, renowned for his skill and moral stature. Throughout the years, his family has continued the traditional wine-making process, and today, the winery is owned by the fifth generation of Tedeschis: Antonietta, Sabrina and Riccardo. Each has various responsibilities, but it is Riccardo, the oenologist, who deals with production and acts as Tedeschi’s Export Director. La Fabriseria Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore 2010 35% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 5% Oseleta The Tedeschi family has endeavored to improve the quality of its wines and to accentuate the relationship between the traditional vines and the region. For this reason, Rosso La Fabriseria, a wine created with an international style has been completely re-conceptualized and today is being introduced to the wine drinking audience as a wine that is coherent with the rest of our production and completely rooted in the Valpolicella region. The grape selection consists of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a small percentage of Oseleta. The grapes come from vines that are grown exclusively within the Valpolicella Classica Region and are left to over ripen on the vine. The wine yield per hectare is very low and does not exceed that of the Amarone wine. The wine is age exclusively in Slovenian oak barrels. TheValpolicella La Fabriseria is today a great and important Valpolicella wine and represents yet another wine that the Tedeschi family entrusts to tell the world the story of this splendid region. Vineyard notes: Soil: Moraine clay and limestone.

    Reservations Accepted | 10/1/2021 1 Welcome to Virginia’s First Urban Winery! What’s an Urban Winery, you ask? Well, we are. Take a look around, and you’ll see a pretty unique blend of concepts. First and foremost, you’ll see wine made here under our Mermaid label, highlighting the potential of Virginia’s grapes and wine production. Virginia has a rich history of grape growing and winemaking, and we’ve selected the best grapes we can get our hands on for our Mermaid Wines. We primarily work with fruit from our Charlottesville vineyard, with occasional sourcing from other locations if we see the opportunity to make something special. We’ve put together some really enjoyable wines for you to try – some classic, some fun, all delicious. Secondly, you’ll see wines from all around the world. Some you’ll recognize, others you might not. These selections lend to our wine bar-style atmosphere and really enrich the experience by offering a wide range of wines to be tried. They’re all available by the bottle, and most by the glass and flight as well, right alongside our Mermaid Wines. The staff can tell you all about any of them, so rest assured that you’ll never be drinking blind. These wines also rotate with the season, and there’s always something new to try. We have a full kitchen too, with a diverse menu that can carry you through lunch, brunch and dinner from the lightest snack to a full-on meal.

  • Sample Essay and Outline for AWC
    Sample Essay and Outline for AWC Sample Essay Question As you prepare to go on to sommelier certification, this is an example of what will be expected at this level before the sommelier certification where this question would require substantial more depth. The essays should consist of no less than: a clear introduction followed by the main statements/thesis and a proper conclusion in the 700-900-word range. Compare and contrast Valpolicella DOC and Amarone della Valpolicella DOC. Consider in your response issues of history, location and geography, soil, grape variety, viticulture, vinification, and wine style. Writing the Essay After developing a brief outline, you will conclude that while Valpolicella and Amarone are derived from the same vineyards and therefore share soils, climate, viticultural techniques and grape varieties, they differ in their vinification. A statement regarding this will be your thesis. We provide two essay samples for this question. The first speaks to all of the required elements of the question and would, therefore, receive full marks: ten points out of a possible ten. Essays which receive full marks demonstrate clear comprehension of the issue and display that comprehension in a logical, coherent way. The second is missing several required elements and would receive only six points out of a possible ten. You should notice that at the sommelier certification, we will expect students to possess far deeper knowledge of some of the variations and issues affecting the relationship between the DOCs if this questions was posed. Essay (10 Point) Though Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella are derived from the same geographical area, the wines are radically different in style.

  • Zenato Family Wines Production: Valpolicella
    Founded in 1960 by Sergio and Carla Zenato, the Zenato winery was originally based on the production of quality wines from an indigenous varietal, Trebbiano di Lugana. Over time, the winery has been passed onto Sergio and Carla’s children, who have maintained and expanded upon this vision. Zenato has explored an important area of Italian wine Zenato Family Wines production: Valpolicella. It is here that they have dedicated endless efforts to the improvement and February 2021 success of Amarone production, a wine of noble attributes and prestige. Today, the winery operates under a philosophy and mission of quality (from the vineyard to the bottle and consumer), passion, investment, and tradition (respecting the roots of the territory and local culture). They also place strong emphasis on sustainable vineyard and winemaking practices. From the shores of Lake Garda into the hills beyond, Zenato brings us three exceptional representations of the grape-growing and winemaking traditions in the Veneto region. Lugana D.O.C. Ripassa D.O.C. CORMI I.G.T. Andover, Blaine, Chanhassen, Cottage Grove, Osseo, Plymouth, Roseville, Rosemount Top Ten Liquors 2021. All Rights Reserved. Place Matters Lugana is the wine that put Zenato on the map. Made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana harvested from the San Benedetto parcel on the south shore of Lake Garda. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless- steel tanks and refined for six months before being released. This is a wine that they commonly refer to as the Pinot Grigio drinker’s ‘gateway drug’ to geeky wines. The Zenato Ripassa is a blend of 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta.

  • Monte Tondo | San Pietro Valpolicella Superiore
    San Pietro Valpolicella Superiore DOC Located directly between Lago di Garda and Venezia, Monte Tondo is making some of the most exciting, vibrant wines in all of Veneto. This Valpolicella is a great example; somewhere between a Ripasso and a basic Valpolicella. The grapes are Winemaker: Gino, Luca, and Marta dried for about a month in a well ventilated “fruttai” before pressing, and Magnabosco Generation: 2nd ultimately aged for five months in oak. Not a frivolous wine, it offers aromas of sour black cherry, spices, and violets, followed by a smooth palate. WINEMAKER BIOGRAPHY With larger-than-life personalities, the Magnabosco clan – led by father-daughter team Gino and Marta – likes to draw you in, spoil you properly, and leave you laughing. For all their mirth, however, the elegant wines of Monte Tondo remain worthy of serious discussion. Few estates can rival their multiple tiers of Soave, each backed by its own unique cru and soil type. ENOLOGIST Nico Danese TASTING NOTES Color Red verging on purple Nose Black cherry and violet Palate Well-balanced and smooth, with light, integrated tannins Finish Pleasant, medium+ finish VINEYARD & VINIFICATION Vineyard Location Valpollicella DOC, Veneto Vineyard Size 15 ha Varietals List 55% Corvina 30% Rondinella 15% Molinara Farming Practices Organically farmed (non certified), including dry-farmed; grapes picked by hand; certified vegan Elevation 450 m Soils Calcarious soil Maturation Summary In neutral barrels for 8 months, in Steel 6 months and bottled 6 months In Steel 6 months Alcohol 13.0 % Acidity 5.1 g/liter Residual Sugar 3.5 g/liter Annual Production 30,000 bottles REGION VENETO Home to the iconic cities of Venice and Verona, Veneto is also Italy’s second most prolific region in terms of wine production.
