After four years, DiWineTaste readers have met again the wines of Giovanni Ederle, vintner in Valpolicella in the outskirts of Verona. New wines that, today, as for reds, belongs to the Valpolicella denomination to which is added Donna Francesca, historical wine of this winery. To the event took part Manuel Sorrentino - marketing and hospitality manager - whom focused on the characteristics of the territory where are cultivated Giovanni Ederle's vineyards, as well as the productive philosophy of the veronese winery. The event starts with the only white of the evening - Donna Francesca 2012, made from Garganega and Chardonnay grapes, aged in cask - expressing, after six years, a full complexity supported by a lively acidity, of full body. The event continued with four red wines, all belonging to Valpolicella denominations and all made from the very same grapes: Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. The first red is Valpolicella Superiore 2016, aged for 12 months in cask, conjugating appreciable crispness to a proper roundness, for a result of remarkable agreeableness and versatility at the table. The evening continued with Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2016, also in this case aged in cask for 12 months, made with the well known "ripasso" technique, that is a short refermentation of the wine with Amarone pomace. The result is a wine of fuller body and roundness, although keeping the crispness of the grapes used for production. The third wine of the evening has been Amarone della Valpolicella 2013 that, in this vintage, still made use of Croatina, abandoned in the subsequent vintages. Giovanni Ederle's Amarone - thanks to the territory and soil where his vineyards are being cultivated - is characterized by finesse and elegance, however expressing the typical structure and roundness of this wine. The event ended with Recioto della Valpolicella 2016, first vintage of this wine produced by Giovanni Ederle, elegant in its sweetness well balanced by acidity, can also be appreciated for its pleasing roundness joined to a proper astringency. The sensorial tasting of Giovanni Ederle's wines and the creation of the dishes paired to them have been curated, as usual, by Antonello Biancalana, DiWineTaste chief editor.
