Vinification

Destemming and pressing of the grapes.
Maceration: about 10 days in stainless steel tanks.
Ripasso technique: 3 days of maceration and second fermentation of the Valpolicella Classico with grapes from Amarone and Recioto vinification.

Maturation and ageing

9 months in 50 hl oak barrels.
Approximately 6 months in the bottle.

Sensory impressions

A clear, remarkably brilliant ruby red colour, with ruby-garnet hues visible at the edge of the glass, it offers a powerful nose, redolent of sour cherries in spirit, prunes, a potpourri of dry flowers, underbrush, cloves, fine oak, cinnamon and roots of liquorice: an ample bouquet, alluring and aristocratic. The palate is concentrated, with a silky, velvety texture, an extremely dynamic acidity and a pleasant strength; in brief, a big wine, with a long, clean finish.

Recommended food pairings

A versatile wine, it easily pairs with pasta with meat sauce, semi-firm cheeses and cured meat cuts. At a riper age, it makes a perfect marriage with capon and guinea fowl, roast veal, pork ribs with sauerkraut or Wiener schnitzels.
