The second half of September is harvest time in Valpolicella. Aldegheri harvests Corvina and Rondinella, plus a few other old native vines, for this Ripasso. Grapes cultivated using the traditional Pergoletta Veronese system, which requires laborious manual harvesting. On arrival in the winery, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. Must and marc are fermented in temperature-controlled tanks until colour and aromas are fully extracted. The result is a classic Valpolicella wine that, however, at the end of winter, instead of simply being bottled, is re-fermented. That is, it is slowly re-fermented on the marc of Recioto and Amarone, taking on greater body and intensity. Then, in early spring, the wine is passed into large barrels for the classic maturation phase. The resulting red wine has distinct aromas of cooked plum and morello cherry. A particularly complex and interesting bouquet that also finds perfect correspondence in the mouth. Well-balanced, full-bodied and robust, it is an ideal wine to accompany red meat and game dishes. Also excellent with medium-aged cheeses.
'The Aldegheri family since 1956 in the heart of Valpolicella'. One reads this on the website of the beautiful Veronese company that has been producing and processing the good wines of its territory for more than 60 years. The family character of the Aldegheri company, and the perfect coordination between technology and love for nature and its fruits, have allowed it to achieve a high level of quality over the years. Its products testify to the result of special attention to the vineyards, a rigorous and careful selection of grapes and constant improvement of winemaking technologies. Today, the company can count on around 50 hectares of vineyards. Of these, part are directly managed and part are cultivated by historical vine growers, who have been linked to the winery since the beginning. For the most part, these are hillside vineyards with good exposures, such as those at the foot of the S. Giorgio district, famous for its Romanesque parish church, from which the prestigious Amarone is obtained. Or those of Grola, one of the best vantage points in Valpolicella, where the technique of appassimento has been practised since Roman times, and where today the best Recioto is produced. The main grape varieties used are Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, the three basic grapes for all the typical Valpolicella wines, but also Cabernet, Merlot, Garganega, Pinot and Dindarella, the autochthonous variety par excellence.
