WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Valpolicella DOC wines involves the careful selection and blending of indigenous grape varieties, primarily Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella. Fermentation is typically carried out in stainless steel or concrete tanks, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's natural fruitiness and freshness. Aging is often conducted in similar neutral vessels to maintain this vibrant character. While specific details for 'La Roccia' by Lucia De Main are unavailable, this process reflects the traditional methods employed in the Valpolicella region to create wines that are representative of their origin and grape composition.
