DESCRIPTION

Type of soil: clay mixed with pebbles, typical of the morainic hills deposited by the glaciers that formed the area around Lake Garda
Grapes: Corvina, Cabernet Sauvignon e Merlot
Training system: Guyot with 7,000 vines per hectare
Yield per hectare: 7,000-8,000 kilos

Vinification: the late-harvested grapes are subjected to a brief period of drying, using the traditional technique employed in the Province of Verona. Maceration takes place on the skins for 10-14 days at controlled temperature, in order to enable complete extraction of the wine’s ripe fruit aromas
Maturation: 30 months in 700-litre cherry wood casks. At least 6 months’ maturation in bottle
Number of bottles produced: 25.000

TASTING NOTE

Colour: a deep, bright garnet red

Nose: intense fruity perfumes that are reminiscent of cherries and wild berries (bilberries, dewberries), with faint hints of cacao

Flavour: this wine is concentrated and mouth-filling on the palate. It has gentle, elegant and velvety tannins, and its fruit is rich, deep and long on the finish

Serving suggestions:: this is a red wine of great personality and power, which goes well with meat dishes (even rather complex or fullflavoured ones): roasts, grilled red meats such as chops and steaks, lamb and game. It is also excellent for accompanying mature cheeses

Note: it has great ageing potential

Alcohol: 14,5% vol
