About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines are trained in equal proportions to Pergola Veronese and Guyot. The soils are limestone-rich, tuffaceous and clayey.

Grapes

50% Corvina, 25% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella, 5% Molinara and 5% Oseleta.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested manually. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel under controlled temperature.

Ageing

Maturation follows in large oak barrels.

Technical data

Alcohol: 13.5% vol. Total acidity: 5.5 g/L. Reducing sugars: 1.2 g/L. Available in 0.75 L and 1.5 L bottles.

Tasting profile

Ruby red. The broad, intense floral bouquet develops pronounced aromas of sour cherry and red fruit alongside spice. Full-bodied and structured, with a firm, tannic yet clean and elegant character. Ripe cherry, plum and blackberry return on the palate, accompanied by pepper, sweet spices, tamarind, cinchona and vanilla. The texture is soft and enveloping, the tannins polished, and the freshness brings balance through a persistent finish.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 16–18 °C. Its harmonious profile suits service throughout a meal, particularly with chicken, roasts, grilled meat, game and aubergine parmigiana.
