Description
What kind of wine it is
Domini Veneti Appassimento Rosso is created from a meticulous blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. The appassimento technique concentrates its structure and aromatic profile, offering a bouquet with pronounced notes of cherry and vanilla. On the palate, it is warm, full and velvety, supported by soft tannins that lead to a long, spicy finish. It is ideal for pairing with grilled red meats, braised dishes, pork-based recipes and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The vines from which this wine originates grow mainly in the Verona area, in the heart of Veneto. Trained using the double pergola system, the plants sink their roots between one hundred and three hundred and fifty metres above sea level. The soils, ranging from calcareous to clayey, provide the grapes with the resources needed to develop an intense ruby colour and a solid flavour structure. Careful vineyard management ensures fruit capable of precisely expressing the pure character of the terroir.
How it is produced
The harvest is carried out by hand in the second half of September, selecting the best bunches for the appassimento method for around sixty days. After gentle pressing, the must ferments at a controlled temperature with a ten-day maceration and frequent pumping over. Malolactic fermentation softens the blend's profile in preparation for maturation in barrels. The process concludes with natural stabilisation, ensuring the wine has a rounded and persistent balance.
History and Curiosities
Domini Veneti, a mark of excellence from Cantina Valpolicella Negrar founded in 1933, signs the elegant Veneto IGT of the Pruviniano Collection. Born from meticulous hand harvesting among the Veronese hills, this exceptional wine comes to life thanks to the appassimento method for sixty days and a refined maturation in wood. Under the expert guidance of oenologists Accordini and Zordan, the artisanal process enhances the identity of its land of origin. It is recommended to decant for one hour to allow the wine to fully reveal its unique sensory charm.

The spirit is the same as that of the visionary cooperative founded in 1933 by the seven businessmen from Verona, just as the very same principles guide our work on a daily basis today and inspire every new project: initiative, reciprocity and collaboration.
Generations that work side by side: this is the strength of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar. It is the same strength that has enabled us to stride through history and become the benchmark producer when it comes to Amarone, Ripasso and the technique of Appassimento.
Energy and creativity on the one hand; on the other, the wisdom that comes from the experience of many vintages, leading to a generational renewal that takes place while we work together. Read more
