Region
A wide and temperate agricultural region stretching from Venice to Verona and north to the Alpine foothills. In the west around Lake Garda, are the important generic wines - Valpolicella, Soave and Bardolino. Much of Italy`s commercial Pinot Grigio and Merlot is grown further east, but the Glera grape makes the region`s distinctly fashionable sparkling wine, Prosecco. However the recent popularity of Amarone and Ripasso has really re-established this region as one of Italy best wine growing areas and quality is out of all recognition from the light carafe wines of the early 80`s.
Producer
Alessandro Michelon is one of Italy’s most innovative and promising wine¬makers with a profound knowledge of the various regions of Italy. Founded in 2010, his concept is quite simple. to produce the best and most interesting wines possible at fair prices. To do so he takes full control of every step in the winemaking, from the vineyards to the vinification, straight through to the packaging and market¬ing. He works with a small number of growers and wineries in different areas of Italy.
Tasting Notes
Bella Fiore translates as `beautiful flower`, and this lush and smooth Italian red always impresses with its bouquet of blackcurrant and bramble aromas and its long velvety finish. The depth of fruit comes from the partially dried fruit before pressing, made from a Corvina-dominant blend. The grapes are selected form low-yielding vineyards in the province of Verona, often the same grapes that often go into the classic Italian big-hitters Valpolicella and Amarone, ensuring a quality wine at excellent value.
Food
Serve with rich meats, try with a venison burger.
