The must undergoes fermentation for about ten days, supported by two daily pump-overs and a délestage halfway through to optimise extraction. Subsequently, the wine undergoes four rackings without any filtration. Ageing initially takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and, from the following summer, continues in \u003cstrong\u003esecond-passage barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental phase for smoothing the tannins and defining the wine’s enveloping softness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in Marano di Valpolicella, this elegant Venetian red embodies the artisanal dedication of the Clementi family.
