Stock Status: Private Order Only Per Case / Size: 750mLml Intro: North of Verona, in the town of Negrar, at the Valpolicella zone’s highest point (350 m – 1,148 feet), the Le Ragose estate overlooks gentle, lush green hills. In 1969, enologists Arnaldo Galli and his wife Marta bought the 70-acre Le Ragose estate, which had been abandoned. Recognizing that many excellent vineyard sites had been abandoned in favor of more easily-farmed sites on the plains, they replanted the Le Ragose vineyards and began making Amarone and Valpolicella in as natural a way as possible. Description: Austere dry red wine, suitable for long aging. Vinification: Cabernet Sauvignon 100% Grapes manually selected, and placed in plastic trays directly in the vineyard. Vinification: The grapes are macerated for up to 12 days and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, followed by 24/36 months ageing in new and used Troncais and Allier oak casks. Flavours: Deep, dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and powerful bouquet full of cassis, olive, dark chocolate and pepper. Distinctive, ample and full with a long and persistent finish. Food Pairings: Pasta dishes, Roasted red and white meats (especially lamb and duck), Gorgonzola cheese |
