About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from hills in the Veronese area.

Grapes

A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and other varieties permitted by the production regulations.

Vinification

Native red grapes undergo appassimento, bringing the fruit-drying tradition together with a multi-variety blend. The resulting wine is semi-dry.

Tasting profile

Ruby red with developed nuances. The complex aroma centers on cherry and vanilla. The palate is harmonious, full-bodied and velvety, leading to a long finish marked by spice.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 16–18 °C. Pair with grilled or braised red meats and mature cheeses.
