Wine Maker notes: 
"Selected hillside wineyards, between 200 and 250 above sea level, in the Valpolicella area, planted in calcareous soils. Withering from mid-September for 100 days with natural weight decline of 60%. Scrupulous care and control of the integrity and health of the bunch in the drying loft. Soft pressing of the grapes in December/January, followed by 30-days of fermentation with controlled temperature and maceration. 100% of the wine is aged for 36 months in 30hl Slavonia oak barrels, then 12 months in the bottle. 

Grape Variety/Blend: Corvina Veronese 60%, Corvinone Veronese 20%, Rondinella 15%, Oseleta 5%

Tasting notes: Intense ruby red colour with violet edge. Warm, spicy, powerful bouquet with intense aromas of cherry, bitter almond and vanilla. Full, rich, velvety flavour."

Food Pairing: Traditionally paired with venison. Perfect wine with meat dishes, braised meats, game and mature cheeses. It should be opened one hour before meals.
