About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from the southwest-facing Vaio vineyard, situated in a small natural valley within the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico area. The vines grow at 230–265 m on red soils rich in humus, limestone and clay.
Grapes
The Serego Alighieri clone is used.
Vinification
The grapes are partially dried using natural ventilation, losing approximately 40% of their weight. Fermentation lasts 48 days in large Slavonian oak casks and is followed by malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine matures for three years in oak casks, followed by four months in 600-litre cherrywood casks and five months in bottle.
Tasting profile
Elegant and distinctive.
