Great value for money, this is a harmonious blend of Corvina (55%), Rondinella (25%), Corvinone (15%) and Croatina (5%). The grapes are macerated with the skins of dried grapes used to produce Amarone, which adds depth and velvety texture to the palate. A coffee, mocha note to the bright berry aromas on the nose, followed by a lightly spiced palate of juicy red and black fruit, with good persistence on the finish.
