2020 Fattori ‘Col de Bastia’ Valpolicella

Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella are the native varieties that typically make up the wines of Valpolicella; a sub-region in the north of Italy, Veneto. The wines of Valpolicella are typically bright and lifted, with plenty of punchy fruit flavour. ‘Col de Bastia’ refers to the vineyard in which all the fruit for this particular cuvée comes from. The vineyard sits on the ridge of Val d’Alpone and Val d’Illasi. Up there, the soil is made up of limestone and yellow sandstone which is rich in sulphur. Paired with its high altitude and great ventilation,  these are the ideal growing conditions for these grapes.
