Description

The wine is produced with grapes selected in the Marne bianche vineyard in Maternigo estate. The wine is obtained according to the ancient technique of ripasso, in other words, through the refermentation of one part of Valpolicella wine produced in October on the marc of Amarone and Recioto. Refinement is accomplished in Slavonian oak barrels for approximately 15 months followed by a further 6 months in the bottle.This is an elegant wine that is complex and reflects the style of the family. It is round, but dry, and is a great protagonist of the territory that expresses its worth full heartedly. It is suitable for aging and for food pairings.
