This wine is made from red grape varieties grown on the Moraine Hills in the heart of Valpolicella. This wine is made in a traditional Veronese manner: raisin-drying of the grapes. The effect is partial dehydration: the grapes, placed in crates for about one month, lose about 8-10 % of their weight. This water loss naturally enriches the sugar contents of the grapes, their dry extract, and the colour of the wine. Pre-fermentation aromas are formed during drying. These subsequently blend with fermentation aromas and, above all, with tertiary aromas coming from aging the wine in wooden barrels.
Color: strong ruby red. Clear and transparent.
Bouquet: intense and elegant: fruit aroma (currants, black cherries) with the vanilla and tobacco of Slavonian oak.
Flavor: good body, good structure, lively acidity and alcohol content well balanced with tannins. The after taste confirms the notes in the bouquet. A complex and elegant wine. Can be enjoyed throughout the meal, from pasta to cheeses
