Grape Harvest
Hand selection of the best grape bunches coming from hilly vineyards. The grape is collected in small crates and left to raisin to achieve a high concentration of sugar, extracts, aromas and glycerin.
Soil
Red-brown soil on detrital, limestone-marly and basaltic sediments.
Tasting Notes
Color: ruby red. Bouquet: intense, with fruity and floral notes. Palate: pleasantly sweet, fresh and velvety.
Vineyard
Valpolicella Classica zone (hilly band to the north of Verona).
Vinification
Raisining of the grapes for 3 months followed by traditional skin fermentation and slow maceration. When the must is still sweet the alcoholic fermentation is blocked by a series of frequent rackings.
