Selection Estate Series with Crushendo - Valpolicella Classico di Veneto
£128.00
The power grape of Italy's famed Valpolicella, Bardolino and Amarone, Corvina is renowned for fruity, full-bodied wines with cherry aromas and a hint of almond. The Veneto region stretches from the northeast border with Austria down to coastal Venice, with a mild continental climate ideal for long, controlled ripening and intense grapes.
Corvina Classico has lush, intriguing aromas of ripe red cherries and raspberries, delicate hints of almond, toast and spice and a richly tannic finish that has the fruit lingering on your palate for many minutes.
The kit contains 18 litres of juice as well as the Crushendo grape pack which adds more flavour and body intensity than ever before. Now, by including the skins, and packaging them separately, the Estate Series Crushendo wine kits deliver every nuance, all of the tannins, the brilliant colours and the flavours of a super-premium red wine, with all the ageing potential and lush flavours of the best commercial wines.
In the historic footsteps of Amarone - a wine fermented with a reserve of crushed grapeskins - the Crushendo grape pack brings immense grape tannin and character to the wine, and the special EC1118 yeast enhances the wonderful cherry fruitiness. Right out of the carboy this wine will have intense, gripping tannins, and although drinkable immediately, it will open up and blossom into a wine of unique power and elegance over two to four years.
