Tasting Notes

Deep ruby colour, with garnet tints. It has a typical,distinctive and complex bouquet with hints of cherry conserve and vanilla, balsamic, floral and ripe fruit notes. The flavour is dry, warm and concentrated with an elegant, spicy (black pepper) finish. Particularly robust and rich, it can keep for a long time and still improve.

Vinification Details.

The bunches were hand harvested into wooden boxes during the first ten days of October. The grapes are vinified by the red wine method, with 10 days of maceration with frequent remontages.The fermentation takes place at controlled temperature (28-30 °C). The wine was stored in barriques where the malolactic took place. Then the wine is left for maceration with fermentation for 7/10 days on the pomace of Amarone. The maturation in wood lasted for 13 months.

Regional info.

The grapes come from selected vineyards on the hills of the Valpolicella classic zone situated in the north of the city of Verona; the vines are trained by the Cortina Pendente system (modified trellis) on clayey-limestone soil mixed with stones.
