On the palate, it is dry and easy to drink, characterised by a pleasant savouriness and \u003cstrong\u003esoft tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The natural acidity is perfectly integrated with the fruit, offering a tasting experience with an \u003cstrong\u003eagile and harmonious structure\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the hilly area north-east of Verona, specifically in Fumane, at the heart of Valpolicella. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 180 and 250 metres, with a south-east exposure that ensures a \u003cstrong\u003emild and breezy climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, positively influenced by the proximity of Lake Garda. The \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e provide the ideal environment for the vines, which are trained using the espalier and pergola systems. These soil and climate conditions enhance the varietal freshness and encourage the development of \u003cstrong\u003eclear aromatic profiles\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual harvest takes place in September and involves a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003eselection of the bunches\u003c\/strong\u003e. After destemming, the grapes undergo gentle pressing before starting fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature, a stage accompanied by regular pumping over to optimally extract colour. This is followed by malolactic fermentation. Ageing continues in steel for about three months, preserving the original fragrance of the fruit, and concludes with a targeted \u003cstrong\u003erest in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e to stabilise the aromatic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1989 from the vision of the \u003cstrong\u003eAllegrini\u003c\/strong\u003e family, Corte Giara draws inspiration from the rural courtyard of Fumane to offer an accessible Valpolicella DOC.
