The Heletto Rosso is made from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. After the manual selection, the grapes are placed in small wooden crates of around 4 - 5 Kg each to ensure that the grapes are not already crushed. The crates with the grapes stay in the drying room for a period of approximately 20-30 days. After the grapes have dried, a process called 'appassimento', further maturation takes place in new oak barrels for upto 6 years, followed by a minimum of 1 year rest in the bottle.

The result is a bottle that is more close to an Amarone than a Valpolicella!

We just managed to source a small parcel of the excellent 2010 vintage of Heletto. 

Tasting Notes & Reviews:
"
I like the contrast on the nose between ripe brambleberries, bark and vanilla, as well as tea leaves, forest floor and tobacco. Full-bodied, decadent and chewy on the finish with some good form. Drink in 2021." 93/100 James Suckling, Nov 2018
