Domaine de la Grande Courtade Alvarinho Valpolicella Ripasso

Domaine de la Grande Courtade Alvarinho Valpolicella RipassoZesty, vibrant citrus notes are paired beautifully with refreshing acidity. Originally planted as an experiment to see if climate change had produced more favourable conditions for certain varieties. The result was a beautifully wine perfect for the summer months. Grapes grown on a combination of limestone and marl. Harvested at night, fermented in stainless steel with daily lees stirring. Perfect pairing summer nights and BBQs.

The white is a blend of Chenin Blanc 39%

Classic Jumilla Monastrell from the region's most famous producer

30% Chardonnay and 26% Meunier

The Vintage Rosé 2012 blend is elaborated with 13% red still wine

A dry dam is bad news for our neighbouring farmers but promises good results for our Riesling

The Monsordo-Bernardina estate is one of the places in Alba more suited to the production of great Nebbiolo

The palate combines dried cherry and plum fruit with warm smoky notes and a structured but supple finish

Maturing is in stainless steel vats over fine lees protected from oxygen feeds

With an average temperature of 22°C and ow rainfall (600mm per year)

We were so proud of our first “Ripasso” made with a selection of our best grapes
