Region: Veneto, Italy
Varietal: 75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Corvinone and 5% Rondinella
Tasting Notes: A deep ruby red with garnet highlights, on the nose it displays an elegant and very complex bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits (cherries, blackberries and plums) along with spicy nuances of licorice and bitter cocoa. It is full-bodied and austere on the palate, with rich tannins and a very long, splendidly fresh finish. Aged 1 year in barriques, 3 years in Slavonian oak casks and minimum 1 year in bottle before release. Best enjoyed at 18 to 20° C, pair with braised meats, stews, game, grilled red meat and cheese.
