Grape harvesting
Only the best straggly bunches, hand-picked, are selected and then placed
one by one in boxes. After this, they are moved to the drying lofts where
they slowly dry out for 90-100 days. This leads to a natural and unique
development of aromas and polyphenolic substances that can only be
found in Valpolicella autochthonous grapes.
Fermentation
Slow fermentation with maceration for 20 to 30 days, and then ageing in
barrels of oak and steel.
Organoleptic properties
Ruby red in colour with granite highlights that become brick coloured with
ageing. Evolved, embracing aroma, with characteristic hints of ripe red fruit
and spices. Full, velvety flavour, with a persistent body.
Food pairings
Wine for meditating. Accompanies risottos, pot roasts, game and mature
cheeses perfectly.
