Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
- Brilliant ruby red. Fragrant notes in which marasca cherries and red currants are refreshed by a pleasantly balsamic touch. On the palate, it is direct and agile, with a satisfying return of fruity notes and a decidedly savory, cleansing finish.
- Good with meat entrées but that, when served at a cooler temperature, is also perfect with a seafood chowder.
Winery Profile
- Azienda Agricola Venturini is located in San Floriano which is a village in part of the town of San Pietro in Cariano (Verona). It was established in 1963 and continues to grow thanks to love, experience and hard work of three generations.
- Beginning with Grandfather Antonio who passed it onto his son Massimino, who in turn placed it in the hands of his children: Daniele carefully follows the wine making process, Mirco passionately takes care of the vineyards and Giuseppina manages the business sector.
- Venturini owns 12 ha of land: the grapes are grown on the rolling hills of Valpolicella Classica at an average height of 812 feet above sea level. The vines face south-west on terraces held up by stony walls called “marogne” and are supported by “simple” and “double” pergolas.
