About this wine
Grapes
Corvina forms the basis of the blend, complemented by other red varieties.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and air-dried outdoors from October until January. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with ten days of maceration.
Ageing
The wine matures for approximately three years in large Slavonian oak casks and French barriques.
Label / history
According to legend, the Ottella name dates from the 16th century, as indicated by a coat of arms preserved in the estate’s courtyard. G. B. Perez’s La provincia di Verona ed i suoi vini (The Province of Verona and Its Wines), published in 1900, records that in the 16th century the winery was known as Verona’s only producer.
