Galadino - Red Italian WineWine of Italy Type of Closure: Synthetic Cork: Supreme Current Vintage: NV Producer: Schenk Italia Grape Variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara Winemaker: Egidio Finazzer Agent: Buckingham Schenk Vinification Details: The grapes are firstly crushed which allows the must to extract colour and tannin from the skins. Fermentation then occurs at temperatures between 22 - 25 degree , during which the skins are racked and returned to the liquid several times to extract flavour, structure and stability. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation, before being filtered and fined, and finally bottled. History: Winemaking in the region has existed since at least the time of the ancient Greeks. The Valpolicella production zone was enlarged to include regions of the surrounding plains when Valpolicella achieved DOC status in 1968. Regional Information: Based in the western-most section of the Veneto region, in northeast Italy.
