TECHNICAL SHEET The two grape varieties, Corvina and Rondinella, are vinified separately in concrete vats. Spontaneous fermentation. The maceration lasts some 7-8 days, and coincides with the fermentation period. The cap is managed daily, with a délestage in the morning and a pumpover in the evening. After the wine is drawn off, it goes through malolactic fermentation, which usually occurs in the following month; afterwards the wine rests for 12 months in concrete tank.
TASTING NOTES Brol Grande appears a purple-tinged ruby red of medium intensity. Its rich, complex bouquet is the result of a perfect blend of fruity essences such as sweet-sour cherry and blueberry, and spicy nuances of cinnamon and black pepper, due to the Corvina grape. The one year barrel time helped the development of the wine which is more full than Bardolin. In the finish it is long and slightly salted.
FOOD PAIRING Delicious as an accompaniment to delicate-flavoured red meats.
