Vinification

This Valpolicella Classico Superiore “Maghi” from Cà Dei Maghi is produced with grapes from vineyards located in Monte Santoccio, in the municipality of Fumane. First, the grapes are picked by hand. Then they are left alone for about 40 days. Then to be squeezed. This ancient drying technique (‘appassimento’) allows Paolo to get slightly dried grapes, loaded with polyphenolic substances. Finally, the wine matures for 36 months in large barrels.

Colour

After vinification, the Valpolicella ‘Maghi’ has an intense ruby red color with vibrant purple reflections.

Odor

The olfactory spectrum of the wine is broad and elegant. First there are hints of ripe red fruit and strawberry compote. Then they give way to balsamic sensations of anise and wild fennel.

Taste impression

In the mouth, the wine is mainly fresh, enveloping and well supported with soft parts. In addition, the wine is balanced by the lively and precise tannins. Examples of taste sensations are those of blackberries, blueberries and finally a touch of cranberry.

Culinary advice

The Valpolicella Classico Superiore “Maghi” is a vertical wine of great class. Logically, it is suitable for many different food combinations. But it goes especially well with firm, long-cooked meat & game.
