Region: Italy, Veneto
Background: This wine has a great personality, it is obtained by selecting only a particular kind of grapes from the Valpolicella Classica region: the “recie”, the “wings” of the clusters, the sweetest and straggliest part.
Winemaking process: The vinification takes place in two steps at the end of January, after the grapes’ drying in traditional fruit drying sheds. The wine is left to rest in the bottle for almost one year in order to reach its peak in terms of quality while being still young.
Tasting notes: Deep ruby red colour. Floral and fruity scents, it reminds of violet and wild rose, becoming a wonderful mix of raspberry, redcurrant and sour cherry jam. Velvety, pleasant taste, smooth, sweet but never cloying.
