{"title":"Colle Cerè","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColle Cerè è una piccola cantina a conduzione familiare, fondata da Cesare Righetti nel 1991 a Negrar di Valpolicella. I vigneti si estendono su una proprietà terriera di circa 5 ettari in zona collinare e sono coltivati esclusivamente a pergola veronese. Sia nei campi che in cantina il lavoro segue uno stile classico, poco invasivo, orientato a produrre vini sinceri e autentici in grado di trasmettere al primo sorso la tradizione della Valpolicella Classica, vale a dire quel connubio perfetto di struttura, compostezza e grande eleganza.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"amarone-della-valpolicella-colle-cere","title":"Amarone della Valpolicella - Colle Cerè","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eColle Cerè's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a wine that leaves no room for uncertainty — 16.5% alcohol, 60 months in large Slavonian oak casks, 90 days of drying in a traditional drying room. Numbers that tell the story of a radical and courageous production approach, that of a winery that has chosen not to compromise on the concentration and longevity of its Amarone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eColle Cerè is a winery in Valpolicella Classica that produces wine using a rigorous traditional method — the 4,000 bottles produced annually of this Amarone testify to an artisanal approach that prioritizes quality over quantity. The blend is the classic one for the appellation: Corvina 50%, Corvinone 40%, Rondinella 10% — three native Veronese grape varieties that together create one of Italy's most complex and long-lived wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe grapes are hand-selected and dried for 90 days in a drying room, losing more than 35% of their weight and naturally concentrating sugars, polyphenols, and aromas slowly and progressively. Fermentation is long and patient, and aging takes place for 60 months — five years — in large 20-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks, the traditional choice that ensures progressive oxygenation without imparting new-oak notes to the wine. This is followed by another 6 months of bottle aging before release. The 2020 vintage, particularly favorable in Valpolicella, produced grapes with exceptional concentration and phenolic ripeness, which are fully expressed in this Amarone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose, it is powerful and complex: black cherry and sour cherry preserve, blackberry, bitter cocoa, pipe tobacco, dried violet, sweet spices, leather, and a deep mineral and balsamic undertone. On the palate, it is imposing — massive tannins already extraordinarily integrated after the long aging, an enveloping glyceric sweetness that balances the alcoholic power, an acidic freshness that provides verticality and longevity, and an exceptionally long finish that evolves for minutes with notes of concentrated black fruit, spices, and minerality. Serve at 18-20°C after decanting for at least 2 hours. It expresses its best qualities between 5 and 20 years from the harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58267629257078,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/Nuovoprogetto_79_1_18.jpg?v=1789649138"},{"product_id":"recioto-della-valpolicella-classico-colle-cere","title":"Recioto della Valpolicella Classico - Colle Cerè","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eColle Cerè's Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is the third wine from a winery that has demonstrated, with its 2020 Amarone Classico and 2021 Ripasso La Tonega, its ability to interpret the Veronese terroir with consistency and genuine production integrity. With this 2024 Recioto, Colle Cerè completes its range by telling the story of the Veronese tradition in its oldest and sweetest form - the one that predates Amarone by centuries and still represents one of the rarest and most precious wines in the entire appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eColle Cerè's 2024 Recioto Classico is a wine of great freshness and immediacy compared with other Recioto wines in the catalog - the choice to age it in stainless steel for 12 months, rather than in the wooden casks used for the Ripasso and Amarone, preserves all the aromatic vitality and varietal freshness of the dried grapes without adding oak notes that could weigh down the natural sweetness.

Fermentation is precisely interrupted before all the sugars are consumed, preserving a deep, velvety natural sweetness.

The blend is classic and balanced: 50% Corvina for fruit and freshness, 40% Corvinone for structure and tannic complexity, and 10% Rondinella for floral notes and acidity - the same proportions as Colle Cerè's Amarone, giving the Ripasso an immediate, recognizable stylistic consistency within the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Ripasso is produced using the traditional Veronese method: the base Valpolicella made from Corvinone, Corvina, and Rondinella is refermented on the still-fresh, rich pomace of the recently racked Amarone, absorbing additional structure, tannins, and an aromatic concentration that brings it closer to the great appassimento wine. It is then aged for 24 months in oak barrels - a period considerably longer than the minimum required for Ripasso DOC and comparable to that of many small-producer Amarone wines - giving the wine tannic roundness, aromatic complexity, and a structure that enable it to develop positively in bottle for years.

On the palate it is full and structured for its category - 14.5° well integrated, tannins present but already smoothed by the 24 months in barrel, a harmonious glyceric sweetness that coats the palate, fresh acidity that balances the structure and ensures longevity, and a long, persistent finish with notes of concentrated red fruit, spices, and integrated oak.
