Selva Capuzza DUNANT Riviera del Garda Classico Rosso DOC 2020

$25.00

Produced from the traditional blend of Groppello, Barbera, Marzemino, and Sangiovese, this Rosso is the classic red wine of Lake Garda.

The grapes from the different varietals are harvested and destemmed before being gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures. The skin maceration, in stainless steel tanks, usually lasts from 7 to 10 days with several daily pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation is typically encouraged, and the wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks for up to 12 months. A small portion may be aged in wood.

The wine presents a beautiful bright ruby color, with an intense aroma, featuring fruity notes (cherry, blackberry) and enticing spicy hints. On the palate, it is warm, with a smooth tannic structure, revealing a sweet and persistent finish.

The quintessential “Rosso del Lago” (literally, “Red of the Lake”) strikes a delightful balance of complexity and pleasantness. Remarkably, it’s both broad and full-bodied yet incredibly easy to drink. It can age for 4–5 years, during which it develops aromas of jam, complemented by fine notes of tobacco, leather, and a spicy hint of black pepper. These qualities make it endlessly versatile at the table, pairing beautifully with everything from cold cuts and appetizers to pasta dishes and grilled meats, where its soft tannins provide a balanced finish.
