Az. Agricola La Cidalca di Stefano Venturini

In Marano di Valpolicella, Az. Agricola La Cidalca di Stefano Venturini focuses on just two denominations, both DOCG, which speak to the Veronese soul of this territory. These are the two faces of wine from dried grapes: Amarone, dry and powerful, with its twenty-four months of mandatory aging and a minimum alcohol content of 14%, and Recioto, sweet, offered in passito and spumante versions. One dialogues with the other as two outcomes of the same ancient practice, the appassimento of grapes in the fruttaio (drying loft). The varietal composition remains the classic one of the area: Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella, the grape varieties that define the structure, color, and aroma of these reds. The operation is rooted in regulatory tradition and the controlled quality of the nineteen municipalities of the denomination, a precise perimeter that links every bottle to a landscape of hills and marogne (dry-stone walls). There is no concession to ease: here, time and the production regulations (disciplinare) govern a production that measures the value of Valpolicella in its most concentrated expression.
