Wines – La Dama Vini

Grapes: 60% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 10% Corvinone, 5% Molinara

The most sincere wine of Valpolicella, where no technique comes between the grapes in the vineyard and the wine on the table. A daily wine born from our ongoing pursuit of quality, in which the scents of cherry and the unmistakable black pepper fully express the elegance and pleasantness that our lands are known to give.
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed on the evening of the harvest and then immediately transferred to concrete vats, where fermentation will take place. All processing aims to best preserve the delicacy and elegance of the wine. After about 10 days of fermentation, the wine rests in concrete for 7 months before being bottled.

Colour: vivid ruby red.

Aroma: the freshness of red currants, sour cherries, and raspberries blends with the balsamic notes of black pepper, making this wine the most sincere and pure expression of the indigenous grapes of Valpolicella.

Structure: the sapidity and the pleasant acidity of the wine support the aromas, making each sip enjoyable and elegant.

Pairings: ideal with meat-based first courses, such as pasta with ragù, or as an accompaniment to cold cuts and cheese appetizers.

Serving Temperature: 14 – 16 C°

Formats: 750 ml

Grapes: 50% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 20% Corvinone, 5% Molinara

With its great versatility and smoothness, this wine is capable of captivating everyone. An excellent and stunning wine for its intense and clear fruit flavors, which cannot leave anyone indifferent.
The grapes, after being harvested and crushed, immediately begin their fermentation in cement tanks. In January, the wine is transferred onto the Amarone pomace, which still retains some sugar, to start the second fermentation (the Ripasso technique). After fermentation, the wine matures in wood for 24 months and then in the bottle for another 6 months.

Colour: bright ruby red.

Aromas: the aromas recall red fruits like cherries, red plums, and ripe raspberries. Minty notes blend with hints of red oranges and spices such as cinnamon and cardamom.

Structure: the acidity supports the alcohol, making the sip pleasantly fresh and light.

Pairings: extremely versatile, it pairs best with meat dishes, such as grilled beef.

Serving Temperature: 16 C°

Formats: 750 ml – 1500 ml

Grapes: 73% Corvina, 17% Rondinella, 10% Corvinone

Amarone, the symbol of Valpolicella, is an elegant, powerful, and long-lived dry red wine. It is made from grapes harvested from vineyards older than 20 years, collected in 6 kg crates and dried for about 100 days, during which aromas and structure are concentrated. After drying, the grapes are crushed and fermented in cement tanks, with a maceration of about 30 days. The wine then matures for 36 months in oak barrels, followed by 12 months of bottle ageing, resulting in a balanced, refined, and complex wine.

Colour: intense ruby red with garnet reflections.

Aromas: the complexity of the aromas begins with delicate floral notes of peonies and roses, evolving into maraschino cherries and dried red plums. Cloves, peat, and licorice emerge, imparting a balsamic and fresh character.

Structure: the taste is warm and enveloping. The velvety tannins, which provide persistence and depth, interact with the balsamic aromas, making the taste both pleasant and fresh.

Pairings: so intense, it requires equally flavorful dishes such as game and braised meats.

Serving Temperature: 16 – 18 C°

Formats: 750 ml, 1500 ml, 3000 ml

Grapes: 85% Corvina, 10% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella

Recioto is the king of our wines, symbolizing the winemaking tradition of Valpolicella. Sweet, concentrated, and intense, it captivates anyone who tastes it. Over time, we have selected the best plots of land on our estate, where the grapes achieve a high sugar concentration while maintaining an extraordinary acidity. Only these grapes, harvested and left to rest, become Recioto. The drying process lasts until February, after which the grapes are crushed and ferment slowly at low temperatures, converting only part of the sugars into alcohol. This process gives birth to a sweet and harmonious wine, which ages for two years in cement to preserve its freshness and structure, and six months in bottle to perfect its unique character.

Colour: deep ruby red.

Aromas: ripe cherries, maraschino cherries, cocoa, and balsamic notes.

Structure: the sweetness is firmly balanced by the silky tannins and a strong acidic backbone, keeping the wine savory and not at all cloying.

Pairings: dry pastries or chocolate desserts. For contrast, it pairs wonderfully with blue cheeses or aged cheeses.

Serving Temperature: 14 C°

Formats: 500 ml – 1500 ml

Characteristics: Our grappa is made from the pomace of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, carefully selected and dried for a period ranging from 90 to 120 days in the drying loft of our winery. After the vinification of Amarone, the pomace is separated, transferred to special closed containers, and destined for distillation. This careful and meticulous process ensures the preservation of the quality, aromas, and distinctive scent of Amarone. Once distilled, the grappa rests and matures for several months, a refinement that gives it elegance, smoothness, and perfect harmony of flavors.

Distillation: in small copper pot stills using the discontinuous bain-marie method.

Aromas: cherries, dried plums, spices and tobacco.

Pairings: Ideal when paired with dry almond pastries or shortcrust pastries.

Serving Temperature: 10 – 12 C°

Formats: 500 ml

Caratteristiche: la nostra grappa prende vita dalle vinacce delle uve Corvina, Corvinone e Rondinella accuratamente selezionate e appassite per un periodo che va dai 90 ai 120 giorni nel fruttaio della nostra cantina. Dopo la vinificazione dell’Amarone, le vinacce vengono separate, trasferite in appositi contenitori chiusi e destinate alla distillazione. Questo processo, così attento e meticoloso, consente di preservare intatti la qualità, i profumi e l’aroma distintivo dell’Amarone. Una volta distillata, la grappa riposa e matura per alcuni mesi, un affinamento che le conferisce eleganza, morbidezza e una perfetta armonia di sapori.

Distillazione: in piccoli alambicchi di rame secondo il sistema discontinuo a bagnomaria.

Aromi: ciliegie, prugne essiccate, spezie e tabacco.

Abbinamenti: ideale abbinata a dolci secchi di mandorle oppure di pasta frolla.

Formato: 500 ml

Grapes: 95% Corvina, 5% Rondinella

The Ca’ Besi Vineyard, located in the Negrar Valley of Valpolicella on clay-rich, limestone soils, imparts complexity and structure to the Corvina grape. In mid-September, the more sparse bunches are harvested, dried in boxes for 20 days, then pressed and fermented. This results in two distinct wines, aged separately in barrels for 18 months. Subsequently, the wines are blended: the structure of the wine made from dried grapes balances with the great fragrance of the one made from fresh grapes. After an additional 6 months of bottle ageing, the wine is ready for release.

Colour: intense ruby red.

Aromas: floral aromas of violets and rose petals, followed by cherry, immediately open up to spicy notes of tobacco, cinnamon, and vanilla, supported by more austere hints of leather and cloves.

Structure: thanks to the Ca’ Besi vineyard, the grapes impart a subtle tannin that gives the wine unexpected body and a long-lasting finish, closing the sip with a pleasant savoriness.

Food Pairings: meat-based main courses, such as stew or braised meats.

Serving Temperature: 16 C°

Formats: 750 ml – 1500 ml

Grapes: 95% Corvina, 5% Rondinella

The breeze from the Val d’Adige and Monte Baldo, along with the temperature fluctuations and the light reflected from Garda Lake, create a unique microclimate that enhances the spicy character of the Corvina grape. The Colombarino vineyard, located on limestone hills with red shale, imparts elegance and depth to the wine. At the end of September, the best bunches are harvested and gently pressed, starting a fermentation aimed at extracting the freshest and most delicate aromas. The wine matures for 12 months in large barrels, enhancing notes of red fruits and black pepper. After bottling, an additional year of bottle ageing refines the structure of this rare and elegant wine.

Colour: bright ruby red.

Aromas: among rose petals and violets, aromas of currants, raspberries, wild strawberries, and morello cherries emerge. Elegance is guaranteed by peppery notes and minerality.

Structure: the wine’s structure perfectly expresses the grace and elegance that the Corvina develops thanks to the Colombarino vineyard: the palate is fine, fresh, and savory, with a lingering finish that immediately invites a second sip.

Food Pairings: pairs well with aged cheeses or hearty first courses, such as porcini mushroom and sausage risotto.
