Stropa is an Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG from Monte Dall'Ora, from the Castelrotto hill in the classic Valpolicella area. The predominantly calcareous soils are cultivated biodynamically and the vines, over 50 years old, are trained in the traditional married vine system and tied with willow shoots. After manual harvest and selection, the grapes dry in the fruit room for 3 to 4 months. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in open oak vats, and the wine ages for at least 3 years in 25 hl barrels, then rests for a minimum of 30 months in bottle. It suits formal occasions with roasts and game, and also pairs with fossa cheese at the end of a meal.
Tasting Notes
Very ripe red and dark fruit, dried grape and sweet spices, followed by black pepper and persistent balsamic and menthol notes.
Warm and imposing, with tannins well integrated into the solid, dense structure, balanced acidity and very long taste persistence.
Very long taste persistence.
