About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Veneto, northeastern Italy.

Vinification

The base Valpolicella is made in autumn from grapes that have not been dried. In early spring, after the fermentation of Amarone and Recioto, it is added to their pressed pomace, which consists of grape skins and seeds and retains some must, yeast and sugar. This starts a second fermentation, in a process comparable to sparkling-wine production.

Ageing

The wine matures in barrels for more than one year.

Tasting profile

Rich and concentrated in style.
