Vineyard and terroir
The grapes are grown on southeast-facing slopes at Cavalo di Fumane, at around 500 m above sea level. The vines are around 25 years old. Soils are varied, with a soft alluvial layer, which lets each variety show its individual character within the blend. Harvest is by hand.
Vinification
After picking, the grapes are placed in crates and dried in special drying rooms for 35 days (appassimento), which concentrates their natural qualities and adds depth to the wine. Fermentation follows, with continuous pumping over.
Ageing
The wine ages for one year in French oak barrels, then rests a further 6 months in bottle.
Tasting profile
Full-bodied, with depth, softness and a layered character. The blend is rich and well balanced, with soft tannins and expressive flavour. Time in barrel and bottle gives the aroma and flavour greater depth and harmony. Depth and softness combine with elegance.
