A blend of 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella that matures for 18 in barriques. An intense, ruby-garnet color and an aroma with a slightly darker personality. The notes of red and dark fruit are completed by balsamic one and those of spice and there are some hints of yellow fruit, even citrus. (If I have learned anything it is that if you can sense yellow fruit in a red wine, nine times out of ten it is a good thing). The mouthfeel is defined by a distinct sapidity and is complex with a significant persistence. The product of a soil with a high chalk content, which Lonardi said was very similar to that in Champagne, this is a wine that still has to express its full potential and is destined to have a long life. Fine and elegant it will evolve with grace over time.
After tasting the grapes and learning the composition of the soil, it was immediately possible to comprehend these wines. If it could only always be like this. But there is no need to despair because more and more producers are investing in these types of projects and I’m sure they can’t wait to tell us about them.
