Valletta Red IGT Veneto
The Product in Brief:
Valletta Rosso IGT Veneto from the Firmino Miotti winery is an important red wine, obtained from a perfectly balanced blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon.
It is born on the volcanic soils of Colle Santa Lucia di Breganze, an area with a historic wine-growing vocation, characterized by rich soils that give the wine structure and complexity.
Valletta was the name used, in the last century, by the locals to delimit the area around the Colle di Santa Lucia, surrounded by two small valleys that still join near the centre of the town of Breganze.
The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested and vinified separately.
All the grapes are selected in the vineyard by expert harvesters, picked manually and left in crates for 10-15 days, allowing a slight evaporation of the water contained in the grapes and a consequent natural concentration of sugars and aromas.
The grapes are then completely destemmed and left to macerate for 13 days, with frequent punching down and pumping over.
The wine is then left to mature in small new French oak barrels Allier MT for approximately 22 months.
At the end of this refinement, it does not undergo stabilization or filtration and remains in the bottle for at least 8 years before being sold.
The color is intense ruby red with purple hues.
Nose: Initial notes of wet red earth that evolve into an enveloping bouquet of ripe forest fruits, spices, coffee and cocoa.
The taste is elegant and balanced, with a broad fruity expression.
The sweet, well-integrated tannins give a long persistence and a harmonious finish.
Perfect to accompany second courses of red meat, roasts and braised meats.
Also excellent with aged cheeses.
It is recommended to serve at 16°C, allowing it to oxygenate adequately before tasting to best enhance its aromas and complexity.
