About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie in three of the five areas of Valpolicella Classico: San Pietro in Cariano, Negrar and Marano di Valpolicella.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October, gently crushed and macerated on their skins before fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months in 100-hectolitre stainless steel tanks and 200-hectolitre concrete tanks. After bottling, it matures further for an unspecified period in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Well-balanced.
