Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage in Veneto received a rating of 91 points from Robert Parker, indicating excellent quality. The wines from this vintage are currently characterized as somewhat youthful and tannic.

The relatively young Pra winery has risen to the top over the past 25 years. The grapes are grown in organic vineyards on the volcanic hills, and the results are stunning. While the first thing that comes to mind is white wines from this Italian winery, the reds also stand out. The Valpolicella wines are refined and of an unprecedented quality.

The ideal vineyards for this Valpolicella

After a long search, Graziano Pra acquired his La Morandina vineyard in eastern Valpolicella in 2001. He had long been known as a producer of excellent Soave, but it was time to expand his ambition. The 13 hectares of vineyards are located on the higher slopes of the Valle di Mezzane, at approximately 500 meters above sea level. The vines grow on poor, rocky, yellow marl soil, and the gentle daytime breezes and cool nights ensure a long ripening period. In 2006, he produced his first red wine from this estate, and the Valpolicella was soon followed by an Amarone. The blend consists of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Oseleta, and all grapes are harvested by hand in September and October. Once arrived at the winery, the grapes are destemmed, pressed, and macerated and fermented in vertical vats for 15 days. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and is finally aged in oak barrels for 3 to 6 months.

Enjoy a fresh Valpolicella from Pra

This Valpolicella wine is bright red with purple reflections in the glass. The aroma is intense and delicate. Bright aromas of red berries with notes of wild thyme, licorice, and cherry. On the palate, it is a very fresh, juicy wine with balanced acidity. Subtle and persistent tannins, and a long finish of black pepper and berries. Ideal as an aperitif or with fish dishes or spicy pasta.
