A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection! |
Gamba Gnirega uses Corvina 50%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 10%, Molinara 5% and Croatina 5%in its blend. They hand pick all the grapes and then dry them on wooden racks for a minimum of four months prior to pressing. They do a very slow 40-50 day fermentation to extract as much flavour and colour as possible before ageing the wines 6 months in stainless steel and then two years in 15 hectolitre barrels. This rich, robust, complex wine is a great match for mature hard cheeses. |
