Description
What kind of wine it is
Corvina Veronese Jema is a still red wine that purely expresses the character of the Corvina grape variety. In the glass, it displays a vibrant and bright purple-red colour. The aromatic profile offers a seductive bouquet of red fruits and macerated cherry, enriched by subtle toasted notes reminiscent of hints of cocoa and coffee. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, providing a harmonious taste supported by excellent persistence, for a structured and elegant sensory experience.
Where it comes from
This elegant red originates in Veneto, in the heart of Valpolicella, from vineyards located in the Fumane area. Produced by Cesari, the wine enhances the unique qualities of the Veronese region, an area highly suited to quality viticulture. Careful agronomic management reflects the desire to highlight the natural inclination of the soil, ensuring ideal raw material to achieve pronounced aromatic intensity and a balanced taste consistency.
How it is produced
The process begins with thinning of the grape clusters and an extended ripening period until the end of October. After harvesting, the grapes undergo drying in crates for twenty days to concentrate aromas and flavours. This is followed by a fermentative maceration of the same duration and complete malolactic fermentation. Ageing takes place in French barrels for eighteen months, followed by a further six months of blending in barrel and a final period of rest in the bottle.
History and Curiosities
Born in the heart of Valpolicella, the Corvina Veronese Jema 2017 by Gerardo Cesari represents the true “gem” of the historic winery founded in 1936. This majestic still red is made from 100% Corvina grapes left to dry for twenty days, a meticulous practice that gives the sip an enveloping softness. The complex ageing of eighteen months in small French oak barrels, followed by a slow rest in cask and bottle, orchestrates a seductive bouquet of red fruits, cherries in spirit, toasted notes and cocoa, culminating in a harmonious and extraordinarily persistent finish.
