2013: a late year and thus excellent to allow the grapes to ripen properly.
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. The color is an intense and lively ruby that is slightly garnet on the edge. The tense aroma has some green hints and scents of fruit preserved in alcohol while notes of stewed prunes, cloves and nutmeg that embellish the bouquet and make it wrapping. The tannic and toasted notes in the mouthfeel recall tobacco, chocolate and cocoa powder along with sensations of caramel and vanilla. The flavor, already very complex, is also succulent, fresh and saline. The long finish has a persistent and alternating sensation between the acidity and the tannins before ending with elegance.
