Vinification of Garda Corvina from Palazzo Maffei The grapes of Garda Corvina - Palazzo Maffei originate from carefully selected vineyards around Lake Garda, characterized by optimal climate conditions and ideal soil structure. The Corvina grape thrives particularly well here, enjoying plenty of sunshine and mild nights. Harvesting is carried out exclusively by hand to gently and intact bring the grapes into the cellar. This ensures optimal quality and preserves their aromatic delicacies. After harvest, the wine undergoes a classic fermentation on the skins, during which the grape skins impart their valuable color and aromas. Great care is taken to handle the process gently to maintain the typical fruit notes and the fascinating structure. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation occurs, refining the acidity and giving the wine its soft character. The aging of Garda Corvina takes place partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in acacia and sometimes in barrique barrels.
