History
Velenosi's farm was founded in 1984 by two young entrepreneurs, Angela and Ercole Velenosi. In 2005, with the arrival of a new partner, Dr. Paul Garbini, Velenosi Ltd was created. Over three decades, their passion has allowed them to learn quickly, to improve their production techniques and create a respectable winery where, through the use of advanced equipment, they produce quality wine. Velenosi is also the distributor of Italian Champagne Lombard & Cie, a prestigious French company.
Winemaking
Blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese.
After destemming, the grapes are channelled into 200hl steel fermenting vats, equipped with a pump over system and a temperature control system. Maceration on the skins lasts about 20 days. After fermentation the wine is drawn off into aged barriques which had previously stored wines used for the production of Roggio and Ludi.
Colour
Ruby red with a hint of garnet.
Nose
Intense and varietal, with vanilla nuances.
Palate
Its warm, lingering, full-bodied and well-orchestrated flavour makes it a distinguished and equally charismatic wine.
Food pairings
Ideal with grilled meats, matured cheeses, tenderloin
