Not everyone will appreciate the intensity of this wine, made partially with raisined grapes. Those who dare, will be surprised by the freshness underpinning the fruit concentration and the acidity that offsets the sturdy tannins. Intense blackberry, black cherry on the broad palate followed by finish of prunes and hedgerow.

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.
Strong ruby red. Clear and transparent. Intense and elegant: fruit aroma (currants, black cherries) with the vanilla and tobacco of Slavonian oak.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 Cellar 7-10 years.
