Vinification of Montepiazzo Valpolicella DOC by Serego Alighieri The foundation of Montepiazzo Valpolicella DOC - Serego Alighieri lies in its regional roots and the unique terroir of Valpolicella. The vineyards benefit from ideal conditions: calcareous, well-ventilated soils, warm days, and cool nights. Careful hand harvesting ensures exclusively high-quality, aromatic grapes from the traditional varieties Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. The hand-selected grapes guarantee the highest quality and typical varietal characteristics. After the selective harvest, a gentle maceration fermentation follows, extracting the full aromatic spectrum of the grapes. During fermentation at controlled temperatures, the multi-layered fruit aromas and the desired tannin structure develop. The young wines then mature for several months in Slovenian oak barrels, partly complemented by small cherry-wood casks. These traditional barrels lend the wine a particularly elegant oak tone and round off the texture. Maturation on the fine lees also provides a smooth mouthfeel and expression. Sophisticated oenology and long-standing family tradition merge here into the highest enjoyment. Local experience and modern cellar technology enable Serego Alighieri to create a characterful, terroir-driven Valpolicella with typically Venetian elegance.
