25% off this October!
We are offering a great deal this month off three delicious wines from the Montresor wines collection, Urban Parks Appassimento, Montresor Capitel Valpolicella and the Amarone La Colombaia. If you are local we will have these wines open every Friday and Saturday in October so come down and give them a try.
Produced from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes harvested from hillside vineyards north of Verona. ‘Appassimento’ refers to the process by which the grapes are dried for a few months before being pressed and vinified – this technique is more common in the Veneto than elsewhere in Italy. In this instance the grapes are dried for 30 days before vinification, and the wine spends 6 months in oak. The resulting red is rich with some residual sweetness.
Tasting notes
Bright berry and black cherry aromas, and a touch of spice. The palate has all of Valpolicella’s appealing fresh cherry and ripe bramble fruit, with the weight and complexity typical of Appassimento wines. Supple tannins lead to a finish of delicate sweetness, offset by fresh acidity.
