Corvina: 60%, Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina: 30%; Old traditional Valpolicella varieties: 5%. The wine ages in 500litre barrels for 36 months followed by a year in bottle before release.
Brilliant and intense ruby red in colour. Characterful wine a heady perfume of black cherries, blackberries and plums on the palate it is complex and rounded, with a powerful structure supporting the fruit and a lovely freshness on the finish. A wine with plenty of character with the potential to age well.
The dried fruit and spices are impressive on the nose, as well as the flowers. Full-bodied, dry and flavorful with figs, dried berries, spice, mahogany and tar undertones. Attractive bitterness in the aftertaste. Rich and flavorful, in a more traditional style. Drink or hold.
