Vicentini is a family business where Agostino works with his wife, Teressa, and their children Emanuele and Francesca. Based in San Zeno, a village at the mouth of the Val d‘Illarsi which resides inside both the Soave and Valpolicella DOCs, but is outside of their respective Classico zones. But don't let this last point cloud your vision to their outstanding wines produced in two distinct and great terroirs. The first terroir is on volcanic rock within the Valle dei Ciliegi, here the land is largely responsible for their "Valpolicella" and "Soave Casale". The second terroir is on limestone in the commune of Terrelunghe, where Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave are grown for the 'Terrelunghe' Soave.
Only produced in the very, very best vintages. An 'old school' pure Valpolicella - no appassimento, no ripasso, nada. Simply beautiful fruit hand-harvested slightly later from their highest altitude, volcanic vineyard (1ha) near Cazzano di Tramigna at bewteen 500-600m above sea level .
After the first selection by the pickers, there is a second when the bunches arrive at the winery. The grapes are then crushed straight away and fermentation takes place in vat. After fermentation is complete, the juice is gently pressed to used tonneaux for two years aging. The wine then spends a further two in bottle before release.
A rich wine with great structure and balance. It's a deep, dark and multi-layered beauty. Seriously wonderful now, but this vintage shall develop more complexity in time to add to the fruit, spice and balsamic notes. A wonderful experience.
