2008: an early year led to an early harvest.
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 ruby color that is still lively. The aroma is immediate with notes of marasca and black cherries, evolved fruit with some oxidized hints, sensations of sweetness and fullness. It is also quite balsamic and spicy with hints of baked black olives. The mouthfeel is consistent with the aroma and is soft, evolved and complex with a medium persistence and a warm and alcoholic finish.
