]]> The Vineyard sits between 450 and 700 meters above sea level, with very little rain, strong winds and a lot of sun. The fruit is harvested at night and managed in as sustainable way as possible reducing the necessity for excessive spraying treatments. CARE is a manifestation of the old Roman word for the region of Carinena, but also the fact that these are the hand made wines of the bodegas receiving extra special attention and care. This wine is a blend of 70% Tempranillo and 30% Melot, vinified and aged for 8 months in oak barrels.

ABV: 14.5%

Food Pairing:  A great food pairing with roast meat, Iberian ham and hard Spanish cheese.

]]> Fiorebella Rosso Appassimento, Rosso Del Veneto https://hooknortonales.co.uk/product/fiorebella-rosso-appassimento-rosso-del-veneto/ Thu, 01 Sep 2022 15:45:43 +0000 https://hooknortonales.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=54276 Grapes from low-yielding vineyards around the town of San Pietro in Cariano, close to Verona, are employed to make this appassimento wine. The blend is 60% Corvina and 40% Merlot, the grapes grown on pergola Veronese and Guyot trained vines typical of the region. After hand picking, about 60% of the grapes are placed in wooden crates in a well-aerated loft and left to dry until December. During this appassimento the grapes will lose up to 50% of their original weight, in water, concentrating the colour and flavour compounds. These dried grapes are removed from the stems and undergo a slow, long fermentation. In February, this wine is blended with the product of the undried-fruit fermentation, and 50% of this blend is aged in American and French barriques for 12 months. Intense ruby-red, with a bouquet reminiscent of cherry, dried fruit, chocolate and prune; the palate is full-bodied, soft and round, with a spiciness and lingering finish.
