Wine Description

Made from 50% Corvina Veronese, 35% Rondinella and 15% Molinara grown on the hills of Lake Garda. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 8-10 days before aging for three months.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby-red with a distinct aroma of bitter almonds and notes of small red fruits. Dry and elegant, yet fresh, thanks to the hints of cherries and prunes. Pairs well with Mediterranean cuisine, especially pasta and seasonal soups and hot hors d’oeuvres.
