Winemaking: Grapes are hand-picked in the second half of September. The grapes undergo soft pressing, then fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Aging is carried out in steel until mid-February, then for 2 months in the bottle

Tasting notes: Ruby red in color, with purplish-blue highlights the nose exhibits fragrant fruit with prominent notes of cherries, echoed by fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varietals of this appellation. Whilst young it is impressively lively and playful on the palate while it expresses greater delicacy and finesse some two years later.

Food pairings: This type of Valpolicella is the perfect accompaniment to Italian antipasti, soups, pasta dishes and other dishes typical of Mediterranean cuisine. It also pairs well with roasted and grilled white meats and is ideal as a summer red to drink with fish dishes.
