An elegant Valpolicella red produced using the ripasso technique. 70% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella and 10% Molinara and other varieties. Medium (+) purple-red. The nose is clean, medium (+) in intensity, with aromas of red fruit, tart black fruit, red flowers, mocha and a touch of spice. Aged for 12 months in very large Slavonian oak barrels. The palate is dry, with medium to medium to medium (+) acidity, alcohol and tannins. This wine is very smooth and balanced, with solid flavor intensity and length. Drink now through at least 2021. A great value.
