WINE TYPE: Red
The Manara winery was established in 1950 in San Floriano in the heart of Valpolicella Classica.
The owners have been running it for three generations, maintaining local wine-making traditions with growing experience, passion, and a strong bond with the Valpolicella Classico region.
The estate stretches over 11 hectares in the districts of San Pietro in Cariano, Negrar, and Marano di Valpolicella.
After three generations and with its fourth gradually joining in, the Manara family is carrying on its wine-growing tradition with passion and knowledge, maintaining the strong bond with the land that saw it originate and grow.
The plant breeding system is the “double pergoletta” (pairle).
They produce top quality Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara, and other minor varieties of grapes and only the best go for further winemaking which eventually gets reflected in their wines.
“Le Morete” from Azienda Agricola Manara is a Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso made from 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 10% other varietals.
The grapes grow on a hill in the Valpolicella Classico district called “Le Morete”. The grapes are lightly crushed immediately after the harvest and the fermentation takes place in steel tanks. The wine is then mixed with the lees from the Amarone and Recioto wines. The final wine is aged for 12 months in French and Slovenian oak barrels before being bottled and stored for another 6 months.
A well made Ripasso to enjoy with a porcini mushroom risotto.
Under the law of Singapore, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor in the course of business.
