Description

The name of the bottle comes from the agricultural layout of the land used to produce this label, in Girapoggio, where the rows are orthogonal to the line of maximum slope and follow the contours. We are at an altitude of between 50 and 150 metres above sea level, on typical Euganean soils with a combination of volcanic rock and limestone veins, very difficult and poor. The Girapoggio is the result of a careful care of the vines, which are cultivated with the spurred cordon and Guyot system with a very low yield of 20-30 quintals per hectare; the harvest is done by hand, followed by crushing, destemming and maceration on the skins for about 15 days with indigenous yeasts. Maturation takes place in tonneaux and lasts for about 3 years to obtain a long-lasting red wine that combines the herbaceous and spicy aromas typical of the vine with warm, fruity notes, but leaves room for tertiary aromas of tobacco and cocoa. This complexity is also reflected on the palate, where the herbaceous and spicy notes typical of Cabernet are balanced by an intriguing and persistent tannin. A full-bodied wine with mineral notes, it is ideal with hearty dishes such as spiced pork chops, stews, duck in pevarada sauce and mature cheeses.
