Production notes
Native to Veneto, the particularly fruity character of this grape, cultivated since the 17th century, finds its true expression here. Brilliant deep ruby in color, the bouquet reveals plums, blackberries, and black cherries, complemented by sweet spices—vanilla, nutmeg, and fennel. Medium-bodied and marked by freshness, with smooth tannins and rich flavors of dark berries layered over notes of toasted bread and pepper, it offers an indulgent, well-rounded profile. In short, balance and elegance, thanks to 30 months of aging in third-fill barrels. An authentic grape variety from the hills of Veneto, waiting to be discovered!
