Spargola represents the fullest expression of this philosophy: it comes from a specific vineyard on the calcareous and clay soils of the Classica area, with predominantly Corvina and Corvinone grapes harvested at full maturity and vinified with extended maceration to extract the fruit's full potential. The wine is aged in wood - oak barrels of various sizes - for longer than the winery's Ripasso, giving it a structure and complexity that place it in a higher quality tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\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]\"\u003eUnlike Ripasso - which acquires its structure through refermentation on the grape pomace - Spargola is a \"pure\" Superiore, deriving its depth directly from the quality and concentration of the grapes from the namesake vineyard. On the nose, it is intense and well-defined: ripe cherry, blackberry, plum, sweet spices, tobacco, aromatic herbs from the Veronese hills, and a hint of well-integrated oak that adds complexity without overshadowing the fruit. On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, with noticeable yet already polished tannins, an acidity that balances the structure, and a persistent, satisfying finish. An authentic Veronese cru wine that deserves to be discovered by enthusiasts looking for something beyond the denomination's best-known names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58302492311926,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/valpolicella-superiore-spargola-ca-dei-ronchi.png?v=1784475362"},{"product_id":"valpolicella-superiore-valli-di-mezzo-zanoni","title":"Valpolicella - Superiore - Valli di Mezzo - Zanoni","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]\"\u003eZanoni's Valpolicella Superiore DOC Valli di Mezzo is the everyday wine of a winery that also produces one of the most interesting Amarones in the catalog - the 2016 vintage with Oseleta in the blend and 24 months in French barriques.
