This prestigious and sweet blend is composed by 60% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 10% of other grapes. The vineyards are located in the traditional area of Valpolicella. The harvest is planned in the last week of September and it is managed manually. The wine-making considers a drying process that lasts 120 days. Then, in February, the stalks are eliminated and the pressing starts. The fermentation temperature is set on 20°C and the maceration is managed in small inox tanks. The fermentation is developed in barrels made with different woods, like cherry. 48 months aging in wood and 6 months in the bottle. Natural stabilization.
