Description
Grape: 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 5% Oseleta and Croatina
Produced only in top vintages, this graceful wine is made from a selection of Corvina and Rondinella grapes grown in the oldest vineyards in the township of Sant’Ambrogio in Valpo-licella’s “classic” zone.
Following vinification, it undergoes long-term aging for at least 4 years in Slavonian oak casks.
It represents the very identity of the winery and its legacy throughout the world – a wine that can age and be enjoyed for more than 20 years.
With luminous and dense color, elegant complexity, and a wonderful touch of spice, it’s a wholehearted expression of the land where it is made.
Winemaking
After harvesting and grading by hand in small, 5 kilogram crates, the grapes are left to dry for around four months in well-ventilated
drying lofts. The grapes are not pressed until January, once the innovative withering process has taken place.
After slow fermentation for 15-20 days in the skins, the wine is agedfor at least four years in large oak casks before refinement in the
bottle for at least one year
