Manual, end of September - first days of October.
Fermentation takes place in controlled-temperature stainless steel vats. The wine is then pumped over the pomace from the Amarone for a second fermentation lasting around 12-15 days, using the traditional method of “Ripasso”.
At the end of vinification, the wine matures for a period of 15 months in Slavonian oak casks and tonneaux.
Deep ruby red colour. On the nose it shows a fragrance of ripe red berries and cherries, enhanced by an intriguing balm-like note. On the palate it’s full bodied and well-structured. It offers sweetish fruity notes underpinned by elegant rounded tannins.
