NOTES It is a vigorous and refined wine at the same time. It is appreciated for its great versatility. Produced with the RIPASSO technique deliberately applied in a more restrictive way than the production disciplinary, it is obtained by passing the Valpolicella Classico on the Amarone pomace for one time only. The result is an authentic local wine that elegantly displays a beautiful complexity of fruity aromas and spicy tones well supported by good acidity and the right alcohol content.

AGING 12 months in 20 hl Slavonian oak barrels. Refining in bottle for 6 months.
