Astoria Valpolicella Ripasso 2021 Veneto《WC Selection -I019E》

History

Founded in 1987 by an old family of winemakers, Paolo and Giorgio Polegato’s Astoria prides itself on the quality of its products.

Astoria products are served in the most exclusive restaurants, wineries and bars.

Astoria sells wines produced at its own “Val De Brun Estate” in Refrontolo, in the heart of the DOCG zone Conegliano – Valdobbiadene.

Forty acres, located in one of the most beautiful wine-growing areas in Italy, renowned for its climate, highlight the harmonious succession of hills and vineyards.  

The Company links its name to the product par excellence of the winemaking tradition in Veneto: the PROSECCO; this wine, the Millesimato, was awarded several prizes over the years, including the prestigious Grand Gold Medal at the International Wine Competition at Vinitaly in Verona. Prosecco Millesimato Docg and Refrontolo Passito Docg are the house jewels.

Astoria is not just Prosecco though, as it also produces barrique wines such as Colli di Conegliano Docg, Crevada and Croder, relying on the competence and skills of its highly professional staff.

The grapes harvested by hand in small baskets are crushed and processed with the traditional vinification in red with maceration for 10/15 days; once finished the wine is racked and kept in steel containers.

In January it is re-fermented on the Amarone marcs for about ten days and then aged in oak barrels for about a year.

After this period, the wine is bottled and refined in the bottle for several months.
