Velluto Appassimento Veneto IGT - Zonin

The Velluto Appassimento Veneto by Zonin from Veneto shows a dense, ruby red color in the wine glass. The first nose of the Velluto Appassimento Veneto is flattering with nuances of blackcurrants, raisins and prunes. The fruity aspects of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel ageing and even more fruity, balsamic nuances.

The finish of this youthful red wine from the Veneto wine-growing region, or more precisely from Rosso del Veneto IGT, is ultimately delightful with a remarkable aftertaste.

Vinification of the Velluto Appassimento Veneto from Zonin

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Velluto Appassimento Veneto cuvée from Zonin is Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. Once fermentation is complete, the Velluto Appassimento Veneto can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 6 months. Once the wine is finished, the Velluto Appassimento Veneto is carefully harmonized.
