Le Salette Ca' Carnocchio 2018 Rosso Veronese IGT

A red wine from Veneto, made from Corvina, Oseleta, Rondinella, Sangiovese, Croatina and Corvinone. The grapes are dried briefly for about three months before pressing. It ages for 18 to 20 months in French oak barriques, then spends a further six months in bottle before release. Harmonious and ready to drink, it suits grilled, boiled or roasted red meat, game and aged cheeses, and its acidity gives it good staying power over 8 to 10 years from production. In the glass it is a deep ruby red. The nose is vinous, with rose and cherry notes, and the palate is balanced, with a good acid backbone.
