Italo Cescon Ca'Della Scala Mezzopiano Valpolicella Ripasso 2019

酒莊的故事始於1954年，當Italo Cescon服完兵役後，決定追隨祖父Domenico的路，他是Raboso del Piave的一位葡萄酒生產商。此後不久，Italo Cescon於1957年以自己之名成立酒莊。
六十多年後的今日，酒莊由Italo 的孩子 Gloria、Graziella 和 Domenico掌舵。他們是古代傳統的現代詮釋者——珍惜時間、關顧和工作的價值，尊重土地和自然。
如今他們於產區 Piave、Friuli 和 Valdobbiadene 擁有 6 個莊園，葡萄園面積達115公頃。2005年他們加入了「有機葡萄酒計畫」，令明天更美好。

CA’ DELLA SCALA這系列以風味作音符，在味蕾上譜出樂章。“Ripasso”是Verona為人所知的古老技術，把Valpolicella用風乾葡萄釀造的Amarone和甜酒Recioto的酒糟「重生」，創造出更強酒體和更有特色的優質葡萄酒。

The story of the winery started in 1954, when Italo Cescon, having finished his military service, decided to follow the path taken by his grandfather Domenico, a wine producer in the lands of Raboso del Piave. Shortly thereafter, the "Italo Cescon" winery was born in 1957. 
The winery is now led by Italo's children, Gloria, Graziella and Domenico, modern interpreters of ancient traditions -- cherish the value of time, care and work, and respects the land, nature and authenticity. Today they manage six estates falling under the denominations of Piave, Friuli and Valdobbiadene with vineyards of 115 hectares.
In 2005 they joined the research group "Organic Wine Project", "a choice of love and respect to have a better tomorrow". 

CA’ DELLA SCALA is the series of the melody of flavors. They are the music for the palate. “Ripasso” is an ancient technique known in Verona which consists of “repassing” Valpolicella on the pomace of the dried grapes used to produce Amarone and Recioto, creating a fine wine with greater body and character.
