The two wines the company is now focusing on are typical of the Sartori approach: using the inspiration of Veronese classics to provide products the consumer will easily like and appreciate..
With these two wines, Sartori stretches the borders of the established rules, always using Veronese vines and varietals, but doing so with a freer hand in order to create a style and characteristic identity.
Regolo Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC
Grapes for this wine are hand selected in vineyards north of Verona, and then vinified for 8-15 days days with an on-skin maceration (a relatively short time designed to enhance the typical minerality, freshness and fruit of the varieties used).
Valpolicella grape blend: mostly Corvina (55%), with Corvinone (25%) and Rondinella (15%), enhanced with Croatina (5%).
A second fermentation takes place over the lees of dried grapes pressed for use in Amarone during the month of February, producing the popular “Ripasso” style of Valpolicella.
Tasting note: lively, garnet red; intense and long lasting aromas; dry and velvety on the palate with cherry flavours. Full bodied and well balanced.
Food pairing: roast meats and mature hard cheeses.
Marani Bianco Veronese IGT
An IGT white wine made from the same grapes as Soave (100% Garganega) in the Colognola ai Colli district.
Grapes are hand selected for ripeness and then given a 40-day appassimento (grape drying) period in small containers stored in the cool of the cellars.
Light on-skin vinification follows with a part of the wine fermented in wooden barrels and part in stainless steel. The resulting wine is a blend of these two, with remarkable minerality.
Tasting note: intense, golden yellow colour. Ripe fruit on the nose with hints of honey and butter. Full bodied, classy and very smooth. Long aftertaste and excellent balance with the aromas on the nose.
