About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the Le Morete vineyard, situated on a hillside in the Valpolicella Classico area near San Pietro in Cariano.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, gently crushed immediately after picking and fermented in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is then combined with pomace remaining from the fermentation of Amarone and Recioto wines. This traditional ripasso process usually takes place in March and initiates a second fermentation.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in 20-hectolitre Slovenian oak casks and French barriques, followed by around six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Harmonious, balanced and aromatic.

Serving and pairing

Let the wine breathe for one hour before serving.
