Tasting note

Deep ruby red with an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries, black cherries and red berries, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla, dark chocolate and white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins, fresh acidity and an elegant savoury character. Persistent and harmonious, with a smooth, gently spiced finish.

Viticulture

Sourced in the historic Tenuta Novare estate in Valpolicella Classica, near Arbizzano di Negrar, Veneto. The vineyards grow on marl-limestone soils with clay deposits and are trained using the double Guyot system. The traditional blend comprises 70% Corvina Veronese, 20% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella, carefully selected to express the character of the region.

Vinification

Second fermentation. In March, the fresh, young vintage Valpolicella undergoes a secondary fermentation on the still slightly sweet Amarone skins. Aging in 75 hl French oak barrels for 12 months, and one year in concrete vats. Then, the wine rests for about 6 months in bottle.

Food Match

Medium-matured cheeses, grilled and roast meat, game.
