Velvety

Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and a tiny part of Molinara blend together with vinification in red, maceration on skins and ageing in stainless steel for 6 months, followed by a short bottle rest.

This vintage experienced significant climate shifts. Warm October gave way to a cold, snowy November and a mild December. January was very cold, while February’s mild weather sparked early budding. Spring 2023 was generally mild, with a cold, rainy April. Summer was warm, peaking in late August with heavy rains.

Delicate on the eye, Valpolicella Classico Cesari 2023 reveals intense blackberries and cherry aromas echoing on the palate. Trademark acidity and balsamic notes lend structure and freshness, while elegant tannins remark the finish.

climate trend

Significant climate fluctuations mark this vintage. Autumn 2022 began with a warm October, reaching 25–26°C peaks, followed by a cold, snowy November and a mild December. Temperatures dropped sharply in January, with an arctic chill settling in by the end of the month. A Spring-like February spurred early budding in the vines. Spring 2023 was generally mild, although April was cold and rainy. The summer was warm, with peak temperatures in late August, interrupted by heavy, torrential rains.

vinification & maturation

Produced according to the typical red winemaking process, including cold pre-fermentation maceration at 6°C for 7 days. After malolactic fermentation, micro-oxygenation occurs in stainless steel for 15-20 days.

The nose reveals intense blackberries and cherry aromas echoing on the palate. The lively acidity and balsamic notes, typical of Valpolicella Classico, lend structure and freshness to the wine. The finish is marked by elegant, refined tannins.
