ABOUT THIS WINE
The Sartori Regolo Rosso Veronese is a red wine from the Valpolicella region of Veneto, Italy. It is primarily crafted from Corvina grapes, often blended with Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. The wine's identity is shaped by the 'Ripasso' winemaking technique, a second fermentation on Amarone lees, which enhances its structure and aromatic depth. The Sartori family, with a history dating back to 1898, named this wine after Regolo Sartori, a significant figure in their lineage. The vineyards are situated in the hilly areas north of Verona, characterized by calcareous clayey and limestone soils.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Sartori Regolo Rosso Veronese involves careful grape selection from vineyards in the Valpolicella hills. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and large wooden vats. A key technique is the Ripasso method, where the wine undergoes a second fermentation on Amarone pomace, enriching its structure and aroma. The wine is then aged for 18-24 months in medium and large barrels, followed by a minimum of 6 months of bottle aging.
