2005: an intermediate year.
A blend of 60% Corvina, 15% Corvinone and 15% Rondinella with the remaining 10% composed of varietals allowed by production regulations. The wine matures in barriques and then ages long in the bottle. A brick-red color with a garnet edge. The bouquet has intriguing notes of cinchona, sweet spice like cinnamon with hints of nutmeg and cloves and closes on scents of chocolate and bitter cocoa. The mouthfeel is surprisingly full and creamy but an acidic streak is not lacking while the flavor has hints of citrus peel, like kumquat, and sensations of tamarind, in particular.
