winemaker's notes:
This single-vineyard blend of 70% Corvina Veronese, 15% Rondinella, 10% Syrah and 5% Sangiovese is a full-bodied, intense and elegant wine. All grapes are harvested from one of the most noble and prestigious vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico area: the La Grola vineyard, with its chalky and clayey soils, is located 1,000 feet above sea level. Aged 16 months in French oak, this wine is matured for almost one year in bottle for extra finesse.
Deep ruby red in color with a wide and embracing bouquet. Scents of wildberries, juniper, tobacco and coffee come through on the nose. This is a full-bodied, intense and elegant wine. It makes a perfect pairing with red meat, especially lamb. Also delicious with mild, aged cheeses.
