Since 1956, the Aldegheri family has been working in the heart of Valpolicella, driven by passion, dedication, and a continuous commitment to refining the winemaking craft that has made this territory renowned worldwide. Each family member contributes through a distinct role: Lorenzo oversees viticulture and vinification, Adriano manages administration and the development of innovative production systems, while their cousin Vincenzo leads the commercial activities and public relations. The second generation also plays a vital part, bringing fresh perspectives and modern expertise. The family spirit of the Aldegheri estate, combined with a perfect balance of technology, respect for nature, meticulous grape selection, and constant improvement of winemaking techniques, has enabled the creation of wines that embody the soul of the land and offer moments of genuine pleasure.

This is a white wine with age-old traditions, unique for its pleasantness and harmony. Its bouquet of elder and vine flowers is delicate, highly captivating and pleasant; the flavour is then completed by extreme elegance and perfect harmony.

Winemaking

The vineyards are situated in the eastern part of the arc of hills to the northeast of Verona. The average age of the vineyards is about 25 years. The hilly soil is morainal with tufa and alluvial deposits, partly calcareous and partly gravelly-sandy in nature.

After roller crushing, light cold maceration is carried out to aid the extraction of the bouquet and variety typification. The flower must is then separated in order to obtain perfect harmony between olfactory and gustatory perceptions. The same temperatures are maintained (from 16 to 18°C) for controlled fermentation and malolactic fermentation. The process finishes with a brief spell in steel tanks and ageing in bottles.

Food pairing

Recommended as an accompaniment to all full light lunches, excellent with starters, first courses, fish and shellfish in general. Ideal as an aperitif.
Serving temperature: 10–12°C.
