The Valpolicella Brolo di Sotto is one of the most popular and well-known labels from the Sartori winery, a historic brand of Verona wine, which manages numerous properties in different areas of the region. The grapes of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Croatina come from the estate's vineyards cultivated in the best areas of the territory, on calcareous-clay soils, very suitable for the needs of native red grape varieties. The cool and breezy climate, made particularly mild by the breezes from the nearby Lake Garda, favor excellent ripening, with rich and elegant aromas. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with skin maceration. Before proceeding to bottling, the wine rests for 6/8 months, partly in large oak barrels and partly in concrete or steel tanks.
