✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Zonin's Valpolicella Superiore represents a deep-rooted connection to the rolling hills of the Veneto region, where the Zonin family has crafted wine since 1821. This classic red is predominantly composed of the traditional Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grape varieties. The 'Superiore' designation signifies an elevated standard of quality, requiring longer aging—often in Slavonian oak casks—and yielding a richer, more structured profile than its younger counterparts. The terroir of Veneto, defined by glacial moraines, limestone-rich soils, and a mild climate tempered by Lake Garda, imparts a signature bright acidity and vibrant cherry character to the wine. Historically, these grapes have been cultivated since ancient Roman times, celebrated by poets like Virgil. Zonin's expression balances this ancient heritage with modern refinement, showcasing notes of dark cherry, wild berries, and a subtle touch of baking spice from its careful oak maturation.
