THE WINE

The “Chiaropure” (pure light in english) of the Rocca Sveva winery is a blend of Incrocio Manzoni, Müller Thurgau, Garganega and Moscato grown on the hills east of Verona in Veneto; in this area, you can find the most important regional DOC and DOCG, well-known at the worldwide level. In particular, the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) has recognized the vineyards of Soave as the first historical rural landscape in Italy, an agricultural heritage of global importance.

Rocca Sveva is a charming medieval village transformed into a winery of excellence. The Chiaropuro is part of a wine selection from the Veronese tradition.

THE WINEMAKING

The grapes are left to over-ripen on the plant for about fifteen days. The harvest is strictly manual, and only the selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking, beginning with a soft pressing; fermentation occurs in steel tanks. The wine refines in steel for a period that varies depending on the vintage, and after assembly and bottling, it rests for a few months in the cellar before being released on the market.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow with golden reflections. The aroma is pleasant, with hints of yellow-fleshed fruit where apricot and pineapple prevail, leaving room for notes of lime. Fresh and balanced on the palate, this Chiaropuro is a full-bodied wine with an excellent correspondence between perfumes and aroma and a pleasant balsamic finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

The Chiaropuro from the Rocca Sveva winery is perfect with fish, white meats, and medium-hard cheeses. Try it with seafood risotto.
