Area of production:Rock terraced hill vineyards in the Valpolicella DOC area
Soil type:Calcareous | Cultivation method: Veronese trellised vine
Grape variety: Corvine (40%), Corvinone (35%), Rondinella (20%) and Oseleta (5%)
Production per hectare:Small quantities of grapes, specially selected from the extra finest examples | Harvest: Late September, hand picked
Special vinification:After a careful selection, the grapes are laid out to dry on racks in well-aired buildings to increase their sugar concentration (about 120 days). Pressing takes place in late January – early February and is followed by a lengthy period of maceration (45 days, maceration completed. Driest version) to create a full-bodied wine, rich in essence, noble tannins and extracts. Its characteristics are exalted by maturation in oak casks.
Ageing and refinement:Maturation in second-used oak casks (tonneaux, French and American barriques) for 18 months and further ageing in the bottle.
Characteristics: Intense and thick ruby garnet; perserves and pickled cherries on the nose, with light earthy notes in the background; well structured on the palate and a mineral imprint, very fresh and tasty, with soft and smooth tannins and a plum finish.
Correct serving temperature and glass type:Uncork at least half an hour before serving at room temperature in large balloon glasses.
Bottle type: Bordeaux 0,75 Lt | Cork: Natural
