An initial&nbsp;<strong>two-year aging took place alternating between large barrels, tonneaux, barriques, and amphorae, followed by an additional year of bottle aging.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2019 vintage of the new Valpolicella Superiore is the result of a climatic season that began with a&nbsp;<b>cool and rainy spring, which delayed the budding of the vines but at the same time favored the water reserves of the soils;&nbsp;<\/b>in the summer there was a sudden increase in temperatures, however, mitigated by the altitude. The average temperature in June, July, and August was 25\u00b0, an ideal condition for plant vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the season progressed, the heat intensified but cluster fruit set occurred without any problems thanks to the accumulated water reserves and lack of abiotic stress. Finally, mild weather and the&nbsp;<b>absence of rain in September and October brought the grapes to the winery healthy and well-ripened.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Perfect Wine and Food Pairings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brilliant garnet in color with ruby hues, Peratara goes well with&nbsp;<strong>first courses served with full-bodied sauces, roasts, and white meats as well as with medium-aged cheeses;<\/strong>&nbsp;it is also excellent paired with spicy dishes typical of Oriental cuisine or with boiled meats in the Veronese tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacollinadeiciliegi.it\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.lacollinadeiciliegi.it\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Collina dei Ciliegi<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An&nbsp;elegant and structured red&nbsp;that interprets the essence of terroir in the glass: Peratara is the new Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2019 from La Collina dei Ciliegi, the Valpantena winery.
