There is nothing in the A - Z kit review so i will add it when you have finished it. :thumb:
 
This is presumably what they formerly called valpolicella, which, is a protected regional name, not a grape variety, which is why the chianti version is called cantia.
I haven't tried this one, because I don't rate valpolicella very much.
 
started this at the weekend, supposed to take about 4 weeks, but what a lot of messing about it will be....

following the instructions to the letter it says that it needs to be racked three times, my technique is pretty **** so I'll expect to lose a bit of volume each time, although I'll be trying harder with this one

It also says to use a filter at the final racking stage (pre bottling), a filter wasn't mentioned in the kit requirements though, anyone think this is essential ?
 
I rarely if ever get my filter out for anything less than a 30 bottle kit.
Kits will generally clear by themselves if you rack and leave them long enough.

Wows with added fruit and country wines are of course a whole different matter.
