Description
Valpolicella Classico Boccascaluce is a red wine produced in the Valpolicella region, located in the province of Verona, in Veneto, Italy. This area is famous for producing high-quality red wines, thanks to its temperate climate and the presence of calcareous and clay soils that give the grapes unique characteristics. The vineyards that give rise to Valpolicella Classico Boccascaluce are located on hills, at an altitude between 150 and 350 meters above sea level. The grapes used for the production of this wine are mainly Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella, with possible additions of other native varieties such as Molinara. These grapes give the wine a complex aromatic profile and a balanced structure. The production process of Valpolicella Classico Boccascaluce involves fermenting the grapes in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to best preserve the primary aromas. Subsequently, the wine is aged in wooden barrels of various sizes for a period of at least 12 months, during which the maturation and harmonization of the aromas and flavors occur. The result is a wine with a bright ruby red color, with intense aromas of red fruits, spices, and floral notes. On the palate, it is soft, balanced, with a pleasant freshness and silky tannins. Valpolicella Classico Boccascaluce is a versatile wine, suitable for pairing with traditional Veronese dishes such as pastissada de caval, but it also pairs well with aged cheeses and cured meats.
