Prunotto Dolcetto d'Alba 2018 Historical Data Do

Prunotto Dolcetto d'Alba 2018

Historical Data

Dolcetto is a historic wine from Piedmont’s long-established winemaking traditions. Aging occurs in steel vats in order to bring out the full expression of aromas and flavors characteristic of this grape variety.

Harvest and Vinification

Grapes were brought to the cellar for destemming and crushing. Grapes were left to macerate on the skins for 7 days at a maximum temperature of 27–28 °C (81-82 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed by mid December. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks for several months. Dolcetto was bottled in spring.

Tasting Notes

Dolcetto is a lively ruby red color. Youthful and grapey on the nose it is reminiscent of ripe fruit.

Brolettino

Lugana Doc

This is the wine of our great native vine: the Turbiana. Fully ripe grapes are harvested around the middle of October and the highly productive land gives us a product with structure and a great capacity for ageing. All its complexity is tangible to the taste. To the nose, there are hints of ripe fruit, peaches, yellow apples, rose petals with fresh, balsamic notes. The palate is enveloped by an invasion of flavour, maintaining all its freshness and elegance. The full structure is accompanied by a taut acidity and a characteristic savouriness that completely cleans the palate, leaving it full of delicate aromas. Perfect for winter soups, legumes and pasta with white sauces, white meat and poultry, medium seasoned cheese, fished cooked long and well and shellfish.

Zenato Valpolicella Superiore 2017 This red ble

Zenato Valpolicella Superiore 2017

This red blend from Valpolicella in the Veneto region of northern Italy is truly a taste from Marco’s home. The blend is 85% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, and 5% Corvinone. When pairing food with wine we try to follow the traditional pairings from the region of that dish’s origin. Thus, the Zenato Valpolicella Superiore can be paired with many of the dishes at Le Fresca. Made from vineyards in Valpolicella, this wine has an impressive lingering finish with rich flavor. To be classified a Superiore the Valpolicella must be aged another year in wooden barrels. On the nose, it delivers delicate hints of almond and violet. On the palate, it's dry and smooth with good structure and wonderfully robust notes of cherry and prune. Some dishes we would suggest pairing with this wine would be our gnocchi with porcini mushrooms, vitello tonnato, chicken cacciatora, and our porchetta.

Zenato
"95 hectares of top vineyards in Lugana and Valpolicella’s “classic zone.” Two faces: One white, the other red, both emblems of high-quality wines that are born through a visceral passion for the land, through respect for time, through a family tradition that has championed local grape varieties for more than 60 years. 1960 – San Benedetto di Lugana. It’s here that the heart of Sergio Zenato started to beat. His story is made of passion and hard work; a deep connection to his land and his people; entrepreneurial ability and openness to innovation and new vinification techniques and investment in native grape varieties. A story that stretches from the banks of Lake Garda to the hills of nearby Valpolicella where the estate’s reds are born from sunny vineyards of Corvina and Rondinella in Costalunga in Sant’Ambrogio commune.”

Similar to a pound cake the olive oil cake uses olive oil in place of butter. A thin layer of sugar across the top of the cake gives the cake a nice light crunch. Each slice is garnished with a blueberry compote made with a hint of lemon zest.
