Tedeschi 2013 Corasco IGT delle Venezie, Italia
This wine is made from grapes selected form the Venetian territories:
Corvina variety grown on the Moraine hills in the heart of Valpolicella, Raboso variety grown in Oderzo (Treviso), and Refosco variety grown in Aquileia. This wine is made in a traditional Veronese manner: raisin-drying of the grapes. The effect is partial dehydration: the grapes, placed in crates for about one month, lose about 8-10 % of their weight. This water loss naturally enriches the sugar contents of the grapes, their dry extract, and the colour of the wine. Pre-fermentation aromas are formed during drying and these subsequently blend with fermentation aromas and, above all, with tertiary aromas coming from aging the wine in wooden barrels.
The Corasco is intense and elegant: ripe fruit aroma (currants, black cherries) with the vanilla and tobacco of Slavonian oak. Medium plus body with lively acidity and well balanced with tannins, a complex and A very versatile wine which, can be enjoyed throughout the meal, perfect from pasta to cheeses.
Serve at: 16-18° C
