About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow on the southern shore of Lake Garda, in limestone-clay, silty and sandy soils. The climate is mild and maritime, which allows the healthy, fully ripe grapes to be harvested late.

Vinification

The grapes undergo a long maceration and a controlled-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine ages 14 months in barriques, followed by 10 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Ruby-red, with a spicy aroma and rich flavour. The wine is deep and balanced, with rich fruit flavours and a velvety texture.

Serving and pairing

Suited to meat dishes.
