Fontanamora

2024 Valtènesi DOC

Excellence of our production and our winegrowing area. The wine-making of this wine was born more than 100 years ago, by a hunch of Pompeo Molmenti. The process includes a short maceration peel/must (over one night), and a soft pressing, which leaves to the wine its distinctive rose-colored trait. The fermentation takes place by controlled temperature with selected yeasts. This wine is thought to be appreciated also after the first year from the wine-making, as it evolves through time, enhancing its qualities of smoothness and flavor.

SEASON 2024:
As it happens now, year after year since 2020, the winter of 2024 has been characterized by mild temperatures. The beginning of the sprouting has occurred regularly in line with seasonal rhythms, with abundant rains compared to previous years. The summer period has given us a favorable climate, with good water presence thanks to the unusual rainfall of the months of July and August. This presence of rain also characterized the harvest phase, certainly imprinting unique characteristics to the vintage, such as the persistence of the sensation of acidity.
HARVEST:
20th SEPTEMBER TO 22th SEPTEMBER
VINIFICATION:
For the Fontanamora the grapes are vinified separately, creating the different mono varietal bases. The selected bunches, once in the winary, are pressed and de-stemmed and placed directly in the press. Here the "cryo-maceration" takes place: the addition of dry ice, which allows the temperature to be lowered, creating an inert and oxygen-free environment, preserving the noble components of the Valténesi terroir. After a soft pressing, the must is kept at 10°C and left to clarify naturally through static settling. The limpid is drawn off and fermented at a controlled temperature using selected yeasts. Once the different pure wines have been obtained, we choose the blend that will lead us to the new Fontanamora vintage. The blend is left to mature until February in stainless steel tanks, with cadences batonnage, and then left to refine in the bottle.
SENSORY ANALYSIS:
Soft pink color with violet highlights. The complexity and elegance of this wine is striking on the nose. There are hints of rose, white peach, grapefruit and the typical peppery note of Groppello. On the palate it is a wine of great balance: fresh, mineral and sapid, emblem of Valtènesi.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
Excellent as a combination for the entire Mediterranean cuisine, from lake fish to fried seafood. Recommended with fresh cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.
