Vinification of the Lodi Corazza Castelzola Rosso The basis for the balanced Castelzola Rosso from Italy consists of grapes from the Barbera and Merlot varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Emilia-Romagna. Here the vines sink their roots deep into clay soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in concrete and large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Castelzola Rosso is aged for another 18 months in French oak barrels. Food recommendation for the Castelzola Rosso from Lodi Corazza This Italian red wine should ideally be enjoyed at a tempered 15 - 18°C. It pairs perfectly as an accompaniment to braised chicken in red wine, fried calf’s liver with apples, onions and balsamic sauce, or lamb ragout with chickpeas and dried figs.
