About this wine
A refined Ripasso-style wine that combines richness, elegance, and velvety smoothness, showcasing the hallmark warmth and character of the Veneto.
In the cellar: Crafted from 20-year-old vines, the grapes are hand-harvested and dried for 30 days. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks until February, followed by a second (ripasso) fermentation on Amarone and Recioto skins. The wine is then aged for 12 months in oak, developing structure and depth.
