Corte Giara is the negociant label of Allegrini. The wines are made by Allegrini from fruit brought in from outside their own vineyards. They have a similar stamp of quality that sets them apart from most of the Veronese wines produced at this level.
This wine takes its name from the village of Bardolino, overlooking Lake Garda. It is a very refreshing and fruity wine made from Corvina grapes.
Vineyards
The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards located in the Eastern Morainic Hills of Lake Garda. The vineyards lie approximately 200 metres above sea level and face south and south-west. Soils are of fluvial-glacial origin and the vines are planted at a density of 3,000 per hectare, using the pergola trellising system. The average age of the vines is 34 years.
Vinification
50% Corvina, 35% Rondinella 15%, Molinara
After destemming and a gentle crushing, the must was macerated briefly on the skins before cold stabilisation. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts at 26-30°C for a period of eight to ten days, with frequent pumping over. Malolactic conversion was allowed to take place. The wine was then aged on the lees in stainless-steel tanks for three months prior to bottling.
