About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the estate’s central vineyards.

Grapes

The blend comprises Corvina Grossa (40%), Corvina (30%) and Rondinella (30%).

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are placed in wooden crates and dried until February to concentrate their sweetness and aromas. Fermentation takes place in large vats at low temperatures for about one month.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak barrels for three years.

Tasting profile

Dried, raisin-like berry notes accompany a rich, powerful aroma.
