2023 Valpolicella Classico DOC “Teatrino”



2023 Valpolicella Classico DOC “Teatrino” Teatrino is a wine that preserves the soul of the orchard – “brolo” – from which it is born. At the sight the wine has a lively bright red hue, while the nose shows morello cherries and roses, and a hint of black peppercorn at the end. The vintage was characterized by a mild winter with little rain, a spring with above average temperatures until May and a month with particularly heavy rainfall, consequently, vegetative recovery was 5-10 days earlier than in 2022. The strong weather instability of late spring/early summer first reabsorbed the phenological advance and then accumulated a slight delay. The long period of summer rains contributed to a lush development of the vegetative part and the fruit. The high temperatures in August slowed down the metabolic activity of the vine, generally delaying ripening by about 6/7 days compared to 2022. It was a fresh vintage with a lower alcohol content than in previous years.
