Valpolicella Classico Monte Lencisa

Learn More About This Wine

Valpolicella Classico Monte Lencisa is produced from the vineyard of the same name, located at an elevation of 410m above sea level. The vineyard lies within the coolest valley of the Valpolicella region and benefits from a natural phenomenon known as the Venturi effect, which embraces air circulation and contributes to optimal microclimatic conditions. The wine is a traditional red blend of Corvina (80%), Corvinone (10%), and Rondinella (10%). Manual harvest in small crates, with careful selection in the vineyard. Gentle pressing of the grapes followed by controlled fermentation to preserve varietal character in stainless steel and/or concrete vats to maintain freshness and precision. Fermentation for about two to three weeks at a temperature range from 15-25 degrees Celsius. No malolactic fermentation, ageing for six months in concrete tanks, followed by two months of bottle ageing.

In the glass, it displays a pale, luminous red hue. The aromatic profile reveals notes of wild strawberries, cherries, sweet spices, and vibrant citrus. On the palate, it is a fresh, savoury, and peppery wine, characterised by elegance and vibrancy, skillfully balancing freshness with structure. This is a lighter style of Valpolicella which can also be served chilled.
