Drinking Window: 2019 - 2025
Perfect to enjoy on chilly winter evenings, this delivers the black fruit richness you'd want from Amarone, but with blackcurrant leaf freshness on the nose and some brighter cranberry crunch on the palate. Chewy tannins and attractive spice, which builds across the palate and lingers on the finish. A blend of 50% Corvina Veronese, 30% Corvinone and 20% Rondinella. Available late-November.
