The grape varieties grown in the Broli are Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, trained using the traditional ‘Pergola Veronese’ method. The grapes are hand-picked to ensure only the best quality fruit is used for the Brolo dei Giusti wines. Cantina Valpantena’s winemaking team, led by Luca Degani, is involved in all stages of vinification. The Valpolicella Superiore is made partly from dried grapes. It spends 12 months in large Slavonian oak and two years in cement tanks, resulting in a beautiful, bright palate with great acidity and structure. After drying for 12 weeks, the Amarone grapes are pressed in late December. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 36 months in a combination of French and Slavonian oak of different sizes. This resulting wine has serious depth, concentration and complexity and is, deservedly, the flagship wine of this successful and quality-oriented cooperative.
This bright red wine with purplish hues brings aromas of red fruits and spices, balanced by delicate hints of violet and bitter almond. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, it shows flavours of mellow red fruits and a dry, elegant and long finish. Great ageing potential.
