Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the municipality of Mezzane di Sotto, in the Monti Garbi area, a hilly region of Valpolicella that offers favorable conditions for structured and deep wines. The vineyards are located 350 meters above sea level and grow on a white soil with a dominant calcareous skeleton and a sandy-silty component, a combination that contributes to giving momentum, savoriness, and aromatic precision. The blend consists of Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina, and Oseleta, grape varieties that here express the typical richness of Amarone, combined with a refined and territorial texture.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a ruby-purple color, clear and consistent. On the nose, it offers an intense and complex bouquet, with floral notes, ripe red fruits like cherry, currant, and blueberries, followed by spices, licorice, and a marked mineral imprint reminiscent of black graphite. The evolution over time adds nuances of cocoa, vanilla, and coffee. On the palate, it is dry, warm, and quite soft, with good structure, balance, and a long, enveloping persistence. The impact is generous yet well-defined, with a progression that invites you to follow its evolution in the glass.
