Production area
Ventessa is made without chemical alteration. Our sunny days favor optimal aromas, cold nights help preserve acidity, and the Ventessa wind accelerates the ripening of grapes without increasing the sugar level, yielding crisp flavors and naturally lower alcohol.
Grapes
Schiava, Teroldego
Vinification
The grapes are harvested during the first week of September, selecting vineyards with lower sugar accumulation and greater aromatic and chromatic liveliness. After crushing and destemming, Schiava is fermented for some days at a low temperature (14-16°C) in order to extract its aromatic richness and very light and delicate structure. It is then stored in steel tanks. After crushing and destemming, Teroldego is quickly cooled to 12°C in order to carry out “cold maceration" for a few days which enables it to extract all its aromatic richness and limit the extraction of astringent tannins. The must is then separated from the skins and undergoes alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks (without the skins). This results in a wine of deep ruby red color and a very elegant and fragrant fruitiness, while on the palate it has a soft and delicate structure due to the very low amount of tannins. After a period of maturation in steel tanks, the resulting wines are blended, and after tartaric stabilization and filtration, Ventessa Rosso is ready to be bottled.
