The wine is clear and impenetrable of a vigorous ruby red. Ready and very fascinating aromas. Dried purple and pink, black cherry, plum, blueberry and currant. Balsamic sensations of Mediterranean scrub, then vanilla, hazelnut, dark chocolate with hints of tobacco and rhubarb. Full tasting, energetic; all the components are expressed at a high level to achieve an excellent together, smooth and great drink. A wine of refined structure.

70% Corvina/Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 10% Croatina and Oseleta/Others. Grapes are hand-picked and strictly selected, depending on the ripening period. Then the grapes are dried in 5/6 kg crates in a controlled environment for 60 -120 days.

Refinement takes place in French and American oak barrels with a capacity of 225 lt, 500lt and big French oak barrels of 50 Hl for about 30 months, followed by 8/10 months refinement in the bottle.

Elegant aromas of wild violets, macerated plums in sweet baking spice and savory herbs waft from the glass of this inviting Amarone. Loaded with candied black cherries on the palate, mixed with espresso and bitter chocolate yielding to savory herbs that finish with fine tannins. -J.P.
