Villa Calicantus 'Avresir' (case of 6) 750 ml

Description:

In 2011, Daniele Delaini, Villa Calicantus’s owner, decided to quit a “not bad job” in a bank in Paris to dedicate himself completely to a small vineyard his aunt Teresa gave him years before. Villa Calicantus is the smallest winery of the Bardolino wine area on the top of one of the highest hills of the Bardolino Classico area, 2 km away from Lago di Garda. They produce between 4000 and 7000 bottles per year, depending on the weather of the year. Villa Calicantus has produced organically since 2011 and with biodynamic agriculture since 2014. Villa Calicantus is dedicated to obtaining wines with elegance, finesse and complexity, authentic expressions of the Bardolino and Lago di Garda.

Avresir comes from the oldest vines from the highest part of the hill around the villa. Because there is no Riserva category in Bardolino, Daniele uses Avresir, Riserva spelled backwards. Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and Sangiovese are co-fermented in the same percentages that they are grown in the vineyard. The influence of the lake
combines with the influence of the Alps creating an incredible microclimate. The wine that is changing the way people think of Bardolino
