“Hestremo” Vino Rosso 2017

Hestremo is a Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG produced by Garbole, a small estate founded in 1994 by brothers Ettore and Filippo Finetto in Tregnago, in the Valle d’Illasi area of the province of Verona. The wine is made from a blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella with up to 15% other grapes, all harvested entirely by hand. After harvest, the grapes undergo a long drying period of approximately 120 to 150 days before a slow, gentle fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 60 months in oak barrels before bottling. This 2017 is bottled in 375 ml half bottles and carries 12.5% alcohol by volume.
