Balsamic aromas interlaced in a single frame. The picture of a woman, a candle, pepper sprinkled on the table.

“PROFASIO”
Valpolicella Superiore DOC

“For the first time the Valpolicella Superiore changes its name and acquires its own identity”. Our idea of Valpolicella Superiore is a wine very much related to his big brother Amarone, but still with his strong personality. Vertical, proud of his herbal and balsamic nose. Spicy and intense, but also elegant and austere. Herbs, maquis and ripe strawberry. The perfect combination should be… wine braised pork or beef, pepper beef filet.”

VINIFICATION:

The grapes are carefully selected and harvested from the dedicated parcels among the grapes that will be used for Amarone. Without any drying process the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed before a prolonged maceration during 25 days in steel vats with frequent pumping-over of the wine. The alcoholic fermentation and malolactic take place in the same vat. After raking, the wine is aged during almost two years in 20HL Allier and Slavonia casks, plus a prolonged time in the bottle.

ALCOHOL: 14,00 % vol.

SUGAR: 1.6 G/L

CHARACTERISTICS: It has a deep ruby red colour, the nose reveals notes of black pepper, fresh cherry, and red berries (blackberries, red currant) with hints of balsamic (mint, rosemary). The palate is fruity and balanced with ripe berries and delicate licorice and savoury notes. The finishing is long and juicy with a good balance between sweetness and savouriness.

PAIRING: Braised meat dishes, game and elaborated spicy meat dishes. Traditional roast turkey (stuffed). International cuisine suggestions: Indian tandoori and Chinese duck breast.
