About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The organically cultivated vineyards lie in the valleys of Negrar and Fumane, within Valpolicella Classica.

Grapes

Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella.

Vinification

Selected grapes are traditionally laid on rush mats for appassimento. Fermentation takes place in January after the drying period.

Tasting profile

Dense, compact garnet red. The nose is intense and persistent, combining ethereal and fruity aromas of sour cherries in alcohol and prunes with dried flowers and a broad range of sweet spices. The palate is structured and notably soft, balanced by velvety tannins.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 18–19 °C. Pair with char-grilled red meat, braised meats, feathered game and mature cheeses.
