The palate is mellow, balanced and rounded, with elegant tannins and a silky finish — 45% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tessari family have farmed the volcanic hills east of Verona since the early 1900s; the estate took the Ca'Rugate name in 1986 and is now run by fourth-generation Michele Tessari, who has expanded into Valpolicella with vineyards at Montecchia di Crosara. Campo Lavei is a six-hectare hillside plot at 450 metres on limestone and pebble soils, certified organic. Each October some of the crop is set aside to dry in wooden trays until the end of December, then added to the already-fermented fresh fruit for a second ferment in stainless steel before pressing; the wine then finishes fermenting and matures in small oak barrels for eight to ten months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood with red meat, lamb, game and pasta. Drinking well now, with a decade or more ahead of it. Serve at 16–18°C; an hour in a decanter helps.
