On the palate, it is warm and full-bodied, supported by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003erefermentation on Amarone pomace\u003c\/strong\u003e enriches the aromatic bouquet with notes of blackberry, allspice, cumin and cloves, which fade into hints of tobacco and menthol. It pairs perfectly with \u003cstrong\u003egrilled red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the \u003cstrong\u003eValle di Marano\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica hills. The vineyards, situated at around two hundred and fifty metres above sea level, benefit from an ideal exposure that promotes balanced ripening. The \u003cstrong\u003esilty-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by a strong limestone component, are crucial for the wine's complexity. This particular geology imparts a refined tannic structure and a distinct \u003cstrong\u003epersistent savoury finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with the \u003cstrong\u003emanual selection\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bunches in October. After an initial ten-day maceration, the Ripasso technique involves a fifteen-day contact with the Amarone pomace, which enhances its structure. Once malolactic fermentation and natural stabilisation are complete, the wine undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eageing in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for about nine months. A further period of rest ensures \u003cstrong\u003elongevity and harmony\u003c\/strong\u003e before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePruviniano Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e by Domini Veneti celebrates the vocation of the Marano valley, in \u003cstrong\u003eClassic Valpolicella\u003c\/strong\u003e, known as Pruviniano until 1177. This 2020 vintage from Cantina Valpolicella Negrar, founded in 1933, is the result of the authentic \u003cstrong\u003eRipasso technique\u003c\/strong\u003e, which involves skilful refermentation on the Amarone pomace to give the wine an elegant structure and great longevity. Highly acclaimed by critics, this still red embodies the Venetian winemaking tradition, offering a warm, complex and enveloping sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Negrar - Domini Veneti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661149257899,"sku":"62376","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/domini-veneti-valpolicella-ripasso-classico-superiore-pruviniano-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
