The vineyards are located in the hills of Verona, hence the name "Veronese" on the label. The hills offer a unique climate in which the Corvina veronese, Rondinella, and Croatina grapes grow. Plenty of sunshine contributes to a ripe harvest, naturally slowed by the cool breeze. A long and balanced growth process results, allowing the vines to draw considerable strength from the chalky soil. When the red grapes are ripe, they are harvested in the morning to prevent oxidation on the bunches. They are transported in small crates to the Le Preare press, where they await a gentle pressing.
It's simply a joy to drink because this red wine simply has it all. It all begins the moment we open the bottle of Lastone Veronese Le Preare. Red fruit bursts forth, revealing notes of ripe plums, blackberries, and sultry cherries. Pouring reveals a beautiful red color with purple hues. Grab a large glass to discover all the aromas; we noted nuances of black cherries, blackberries, light spices, and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate, this wine enchants the tongue, as few wines offer such soft flavors. A beautiful interplay of red and black fruit, supported by light spices and a hint of blueberry.
