Michele Castellani Valpolicella Ripasso 2017 is the top scoring red wine from Veneto on Wine Spectator today. Rated 91 and SMART BUY. Made in the ‘ripasso’ style, meaning that the basic valpolicella wine is ‘re-passed’ (refermented) with the dried skins and pomace from which the Amarone has been pressed. This process increases color, body and complexity of aromas. In stock!... #veneto #ripasso #valpolicellaripasso #winespectator #90pluswines #smartbuy #montcalmwines

Green practices like cover cropping provide an array of important benefits to vineyards, such as building soil structure, increasing soil organic matter, improving filtration and water holding capacity, limiting soil erosion, altogether enhancing the root environment. Great wines come from healthy vines. These are the Sangiovese vineyards @aziendapalazzo, a boutique, family-run winery on the southeastern slope of Montalcino. A must try.

Torre Rosazza lies in the heart of the Colli Friuli Orientali DOC, the easternmost appellation in Italy. Prime location and ideal exposure provide perfect vine growing conditions.

Freshly-picked corvina grapes @castellanimichelevini. The grapes for making Amarone (traditionally corvina, corvinone, rondinella and molinara) are left to dry on crates until December until ready to be pressed and then slowly fermented. During the drying process (appassimento), grapes lose up to 50% of their mass but concentrate sugars and flavors, the full intense taste that Amarone is known for. Established in 1945, Michele Castellani is a family-run winery, with 40 hect...ares of estate-owned vineyards in the hillside area of the Valpolicella classica. Their wines are consistently rated 90+ by all trade publications. In April 2020 @castellanimichelevini was featured on @wine_spectator as one of the ‘Recommended Wineries from Veneto’’. A true gem. #valpolicella #amaronedellavalpolicella #veneto #appassimento #italianwine #winespectator
