Le Ragose | Veneto
If you go to visit Le Ragose on a winter's day, you may suddenly emerge from the fog that blankets the plain into glistening sunlight. The estate's 19 hectares of vineyards, at an altitude of about 500 meters, not only enjoy an ideal microclimate for the ripening of the grapes. But also benefit from the excellent conditions for the drying of the berries in the straw wine production of Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto. At Le Ragose, tradition and modernity have found surprising harmony: So you can find here harmoniously side by side the ancient technique of secondary fermentation of Valpolicella wines on the marcs of Amarone - the Ripasso process. As well as a very modern Amarone from a single vineyard, which is already produced here since the early nineties in this version. - Gerardo [TS02/23]
"On the eastern slope of the Negrar Valley extend in the municipality of Arbizzano the almost 20 hectares of vineyard land of the Galli brothers. Very high up, where they no longer come into contact with the winter fog, the vines make themselves at home. Their grapes are almost exclusively made into traditional wines, which impress as much by their clean execution as by their refusal to accept pure market interests. Passion for this land and its fruits breaks out when Marco talks about it with great competence and immediately interjects an enlightening lecture on the special phenomena in the most important of all Veronese DOC areas." - Gambero Rosso

The grapes, already selected in the vineyard, and their drying for 20-30 days give this wine, aged in French oak barrels, the characteristics, structure as well as concentration that distinguish it from traditional Valpolicella. - Gerardo [TS01/17]

"The winery of the Galli brothers rises in the higher part of the Negrar valley. Up there, the settlement decreases more and more, leaving space for the vineyards that produce grapes of rare finesse and freshness in this high altitude air. Emphasizing such idiosyncrasies is in keeping with Le Ragose's style, a style to which they have not been unfaithful even when the market demanded bottled muscle monsters. Production revolves around DOC wines that improve year after year, ultimately as much a result of stylistic continuity." - Gambero Rosso
