Wine: Amarone della Valpolicella ‘Punta 470’
Producer: Ca’Rugate
Country: Italy
Region: Veneto / Amarone della Valpolicella
Vintage: 2016
Style: Red
Blend: Corvina 45%, Corvinone 40%, Rondinella 15%

Notes: Concentrated aromas of ripe blueberries, blackberries & cherries are enhanced with a hint of spicy oak. The palate is rich, full bodied & complex, with beautiful balance & a long, elegant finish.
The grapes were allowed to dry gently in well-ventilated rooms for approximately four to five months, concentrating their flavours, sweetness & colour. During the winter, the grapes were crushed & the fermentation started with natural yeasts. The must was then transferred to 500 litre oak casks to finish fermentation. The wine matures in wood for a period of 25-30 months, prior to being bottled.
Producer Info: The family business has been handed down through the generations of the Tessari family since the early 1900s. The estate was renamed Ca’Rugate in 1986, taking its name from the volcanic hills where the vineyards are located. Now run by the fourth generation, Michele has brought with him a lively, passionate & entrepreneurial
spirit. Considerable expansion has taken place in recent years with investment in a new technologically advanced cellar & expansion into the Valpolicella area with the purchase of vineyards in the hilly zone of Montecchia di Crosara. The estate now covers 90 hectares of vineyard. Ca’Rugate has been awarded the prestigious ‘Tre Bicchieri’ award rating from Gambero Rosso multiple times, making it one of the most awarded producers in the competition & has been hailed by the New York Times as one of the “Top Five producers of High-End Soave”.
