Capitel Monte Olmi Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Riserva is strong ruby red in colour. Clear and transparent.
The bouquet has aromas of crushed blackberries, spice and flowers combined with notes of Slavonia oak. Made from a blend of 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta grapes
At 17% alcohol, it is full-bodied, with peppery, berry character, medium tannins and a fine finish. The after-taste confirms the character of the bouquet. This wine has a long-lasting and persistent flavour. Pairs very well with red meat and game-cheeses, aged cheeses. Best served at 16-18° C.
Monte Olmi is the name of this vineyard, located at Pedemonte di Valpolicella in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The vineyard has a south-western exposure and is 2.5 hectares in size. It is laid out on terraces in order to ensure efficient draining in case of abundant rainfall. At the same time, the depth and the clay structure of the terrain serve to retain water during dry period.
Since the early 60s, Renzo Tedeschi had the fortunate idea of vinifying the grapes from the Monte Olmi vineyard separately, thus creating one of the very first single-vineyard wines in Valpolicella. Today Monte Olmi is the symbol of the estate and its territory.
