  • 2014 Capitel Nicalo'
    2014 CAPITEL NICALO’ Valpolicella DOC Superiore This wine is made from red grape varieties grown on the Moraine Hills in the heart of Valpolicella. This wine is made in a traditional Veronese manner: raisin-drying of the grapes. 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 10% Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella. The effect is partial dehydration: the grapes, placed in crates for about one month, lose about 8-10 % of their weight. This water loss naturally enriches the sugar contents of the grapes, their dry extract, and the colour of the wine. Pre-fermentation aromas are formed during drying. These subsequently blend with fermentation aromas and, above all, with tertiary aromas coming from aging the wine in wooden barrels. Vineyard Notes: Soil: moraine clay and limestone. Vine density: 5500 vines per hectare. Vineyard age: 20 years. Cultivation: Guyot. Pruning: 12 buds/plant. Production: 9000 kg/hectare. Winemaking Technique: Grape harvest: end of September, beginning of October. Grapes drying in fruit storage structure: 1 month. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration: 14 days/temperature 28° C. Malolactic fermentation Ageing: in Slavonian oak barrel for 1/1,5 years. Bottling and bottle ageing: 6 months. Description Of The Wine: Color: strong ruby red. Clear and transparent. Bouquet: intense and elegant: fruit aroma (currants, black cherries) with the vanilla and tobacco of Slavonian oak. Flavor: good body, good structure, lively acidity and alcohol content well balanced with tannins. The after taste confirms the notes in the bouquet. A complex and elegant wine. Suited for ageing: 7/10 years. Combinations: Can be enjoyed throughout the meal, from pasta to cheeses.

  • In Association With
    In association with... Welcome to the 2019 Real Wine Fair! The Real Wine Fair is an independent festival of natural growers and winemakers, comprising those who work organically and/or biodynamically and with few or zero interventions in the winery. That said, real wine is relative rather than an absolute or precise term and embodies a certain spirit of endeavour in the vineyard and the winery. We understand that each grower has a highly specific approach; we should celebrate those differences. Real wines tend to be made in small quantities by artisan or independent producers who work without chemicals (which means no artificial fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides) in low yielding vineyards and then vinify without artificial yeasts or enzymes, or recourse to acidification or other adjustments. Many are made with only tiny amounts of added sulphur and some with none at all. ‘Nowt taken out and nowt put in’, as the saying goes. The motivation is to rediscover the true flavour of wine by capturing the sense of place (terroir) and the very nature of the vintage. These wines are individual, hand-crafted, thrilling and unpredictable. They remind us that wine can be a living thing rather than a denatured product and that less intervention means more real flavour. This booklet contains details of hundreds of wines from many countries around the world presented by growers and winemakers who have stories to tell. We hope you enjoy these wines as much as we do. And if you want to buy a bottle or several, or order something you have tasted at the fair there is a pop-up shop by the entrance of the main hall! And wine is only part of the Fair.

Today, portion of Valpolicella, close to Lake Garda, whereas unfortunately, the panoramic view of the vineyards, from the Valpantena is in the east. The Classico zone is made up of foothills of the Lesini Mountains to the north, is spoilt in three main valleys: from west to east, Fumane, Marano and many places by a patchwork of unattractive industrial Negrar. All are open to the north and thus cool winds funnel development. Valpollicella literally means ‘valley of many down from the mountains. Fumane is the most open valley cellars’. This part of Italy is best known for production of and produces the ripest fruit.

  • Amarone Della Valpolicella 2016
    Amarone della Valpolicella Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita CLASSICO 2016 Produced in the classic Valpolicella area. The drying on racks of the Corvina, Rondinella, Rossignola and Negrara grapes until mid January and the ageing in large oak barrels and barriques, together with the long period of rest in bottles, allow us to enjoy this great wine. 2016 Climatic trend Winter temperatures were higher than average and particularly dry apart from a little snow. The following months saw temperatures fluctuate, with lower than average values, particularly in July and August. Rainfall remained high, with some days of continuous rain. There were typical summer storms, but no more than normal. The weather was decidedly good with the arrival of September when, despite considera- bly intense rainfall, high temperatures and breezes kept humidity low, enabling the vines to reach maturity. Autumn drew to an end with mild temperatures lasting through until early December. At the beginning of April, early bud break took place in almost all of the vineyards, followed by rapid leaf production. Flowering took place as per normal, towards the end of May. Growth then slowed down and veraison was shown towards the end of July/early August, as has been the norm in the past for the various varieties and environments. Ripening was complete about a month later and harvesting of the grapes destined for storage in the fruttaio began in line with historical averages. Production Grape varieties made up of 70-75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella and 5% Rossignola e Negrara. The grapes to be used in the Amarone production are har- vested 1-2 weeks earlier than those for the Valpolicella wine.
