Tasting Note:

Made from 60% Corvina Veronese, 35% Rondinella and 5% Molinara vinified in stainless steel tanks. This wine is characterized by fresh, cherry-like perfumes, moderate alcohol levels and balanced acidity. The wine‰۪s fruity perfume is maximized by using a short maceration period during the winemaking process. It is lively and easy to drink with moderate tannins and a bright, vivacious color. Enjoy this wine while it is still young and exhibits its most fragrant and intense fruit.
