This \u003cstrong\u003eblend of native grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, including Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina Veronese, offers a fresh and savoury sip, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003edelicate tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bouquet reveals intense aromas of black cherry, small red fruits and blackberry jam, enriched with cocoa, toasted spices and vanilla, with a balsamic finish. The absence of filtration preserves its structural integrity and \u003cstrong\u003elong-lasting flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it ideal for pairing with grilled meats and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on Monte Garzon in Cellore d’Illasi, Veneto. The vineyards, managed with \u003cstrong\u003ecertified organic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e and Guyot training, benefit from a southern exposure and an altitude between three hundred and five hundred metres. The vines sink their roots into a \u003cstrong\u003esoil of pink limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e, clay and gypsum, a geological matrix that gives the wine great freshness and savouriness. The low yields favour the concentration of aromas, ensuring a precise \u003cstrong\u003earomatic definition\u003c\/strong\u003e that faithfully reflects the identity of this prized hilly area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested in October. After crushing and destemming, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003etwelve-day skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e. Daily pumping over and punching down ensure a balanced extraction of tannins and colour. To preserve the purity of the fruit, malolactic fermentation is not carried out and the wine is not filtered. Maturation continues in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period of eighteen to twenty-four months. A further \u003cstrong\u003erefinement in bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e completes the process, elegantly harmonising the structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ruberpan 2023 by Pieropan, Vigna Garzon Selection, is a refined organic \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella Superiore DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e that embodies the essence of Cellore d’Illasi.
