Tedeschi 'Monti Olmi' Della Valpolicella DOC Classico 2005

Monte Olmi is the name of the 2.5 hectare vineyard located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region.  Production is 6000 kg/hectare (3200 bottles/hectare) and is planted in grape varieties 30% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 10% Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella, Croatina e Forselina. 

Grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September/beginning of October, and are placed in a fruit-drying facility for about four months. This partial dehydration of the grapes leads to a natural increase in the sugar content that is subsequently manifested in generation of ethyl alcohol. There is also an enrichment of the wine's dry extract an ash increase, a slight decrease of titled acidity an increase of its color and its nitrogenized substances which are important nutrients for the yeasts. Elegant aromas are also formed during drying and blend with fermentation aromas and the tertiary aromas created during low-oxygen aging in wooden barrels. All these characteristics blend together to create a well-balanced wine with abundant bouquet and excellent body.
