Corte Cariano
IGT Veneto Corvina
Appassimento Breve
The Cariano courtyard lends its name to this red wine and is also from where the toponym San Pietro in Cariano derives. Steeped in history, this innovative wine is a successful expression of the family’s age-old traditional method of drying the grapes for a brief period. It is an elegant, well-balanced wine, with a firm, frank and assertive style and supreme aromas and body. Equilibrium and harmony form the solid foundations for a charming symphony of flavors.

The Corvina grapes are first of all selected carefully in the vineyard and picked by hand towards the beginning of October; they are then left to dry slightly in small wooden crates for around 30 days. Vinification takes place in contact with the skins for about 10 days, with daily pumping over of the must. Maturation lasts for 12 months in 30 hl oak casks and for a further 4 months in bottle.Tasting note
It displays a deep ruby red color and scents of berry fruits such as blackberries and redcurrants as well as cherries; these notes combine with well-integrated spicy hints deriving from its maturation in wood. Its fruit is soft and rounded on the palate, and balanced by attractive, velvety tannins. Its finish is long and extremely satisfying, without being overly intense: it merely invites one to take another delicious sip.Serving suggestions
It is ideal with pasta and bean soup, fresh pasta with meat sauces and richly flavored red meat dishes.Serving temperature
