Antolini Theobroma Veronese Rosso 2012

Crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Croatina grapes meticulously handpicked from the Valpolicella Classica area, specifically the towns of Marano di Valpolicella, San Pietro in Cariano, and Negrar, "Theobroma" red wine captures the essence of its terroir. With vineyards situated at elevations ranging from 150 to 350 meters above sea level, the grapes benefit from clay, tuffaceous, and limey soils, cultivated using sustainable practices including natural grass cover, mechanical mowing, and pesticide-free methods. The grape harvest involves a 40-50 day withering process, followed by a meticulous winemaking approach of cold maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aging in oak barrels for 12 months, followed by further bottle aging, results in a wine with a bright ruby red color and a well-defined bouquet. Its refined, intense, and full-bodied texture pairs exquisitely with grilled meats, making it an ideal choice for discerning palates seeking a memorable dining experience.
