Distillates from Valpolicella
Among Villa di Negrar’s vineyards are produced high quality classic Valpolicella wines. Nepos Villae’s production is divided into four products: the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico d.o.c.g. “Campo di Villa,” the Valpolicella Classico Superiore d.o.c. “Contrà del Tono” and the Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore d.o.c. “Strada Campiona,” and the Recioto della Valpolicella d.o.c.g. “La Tesa.”
Recioto clusters are normally the most beautiful and the first to be harvested when they are perfectly ripe. Once the grapes have passed the drying period, they are pressed using the classic old-fashioned vertical pressure method. The still-dripping pomace is taken to the distillery, where it is stacked in piles and left to ferment slightly.
The liquid obtained is then distilled in batches in copper stills to extract as much of the bouquet and aroma as possible for tasting.
