Heletto is the signature wine of Garbole winery, one of the most fascinating and authentic producers in Valpolicella. Made with half of its blend consisting of grapes from now-forgotten native varieties, it is a rare wine by definition: only a few thousand bottles are produced each year, available at just a handful of selected retailers.
The color is deep ruby red, almost impenetrable. The nose is powerful and intriguing, with black pepper, wild blackberries, aromatic herbs, leather, and dried flowers. On the palate, it is austere and complex, with dense tannins that develop magnificently over time. A meditation wine that tells the story of a territory and forgotten grape varieties. Emporio Divino presents it as one of the signature wines in its selection.

Winemaking
The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in crates during the second ten days of September and placed in a drying room under controlled temperature and humidity conditions for 30 days. After destemming and crushing, a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation lasting approximately 15 days follows, with daily automatic pumping over and punch-downs in stainless steel fermentation tanks.
