Melgab International CC

Originating in 1964 at Lazise, on the banks of Lake Garda, the House of Lamberti was the first to identify the right way to re-present the products of the Veneto and, in particular, those of Verona. Typical examples are Bardolino and Valpolicella, as well as Amarone. The white wines include Lugana, Soave and the leading semi-sparkler: Turà.

60% Corvina
20% Rondinella
10% Molinara

Selected sites in the Classico^? DOC^? zone, on the Veronese shore of Lake Garda, in the area of the communes of Bardolino, Lasize, Cavaion, Garda, Costermano and Affi. The vines are trained by the Pergola Veronese (trellis) and Sylvoz systems on well positioned, hard, stony^? ground of Morainic origin at an average altitude of 200 metres. The yield^? of grapes is 13 tons per hectare^? with a wine output of about 70%.

Bright^? cherry-red colour; fragrant perfume of grapes and cherries, with a hint of violets; dry^?, clean^?, very pleasant flavour with an attractive lingering, pleasantly astringent^? aftertaste^? of green^? almonds and mulberries.
