About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Veneto, northeastern Italy.

Grapes

Merlot forms the larger part of the blend, contributing a fruity character, while Corvina Veronese adds structure, richness and cherry notes.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, beginning no earlier than October. Traditional red-wine vinification is used.

Ageing

The wine ages in oak barrels for eight months, developing notes of vanilla and spice.

Tasting profile

Ripe fruit and raisins accompany cherry, vanilla and spice notes. The Corvina Veronese gives the wine structure and richness.

Serving and pairing

Pair with grilled or roasted red and white meats, game or mature cheeses.
