About this wine

Grapes

Corvina is the predominant variety in the blend.

Vinification

The wine is made using the ripasso method on Amarone lees.

Tasting profile

The aroma is pleasant, and the palate is warm.

Label / history

The name dates to a blind tasting in 2000, when the wine’s Amarone-like character fooled a sommelier. Il Bugiardo means “the liar” in Italian.
