Vineyards:

Vineyards are located on the hillsides of the Valpolicella production area at an altitude between 180-250 metres above sea level facing southeast. Soils here are clay and chalk. The vines are 27 years old on average, with a plant density of about 3,000 vines per hectare. There are 16 buds per vine.

Vinification:

The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stalked and then soft crushed. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks between 26-30°C over a period of 8-10 days with daily periodic pump overs. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally. The wine was aged for three months in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before being bottled.

Tasting Notes:

Intense and inviting ruby red. Characteristic hints of cherries and pepper are followed by subtle herbal nuances. Dry and well-balanced, the traditional fresh acidity balances the soft fruitiness producing a supple, yet feisty wine.

Food Suggestion: Simple Mediterranean cuisine, especially pasta and seasonal soups; appetising entrées, including hot toasted 'bruschetta' with extra virgin olive oil, ham and sausages.

Closure: Natural Cork  Acidity [g/l]: 5.37  ABV: 12.5%
