Descrizione

It shows a vivid ruby color with garnet reflections, a sign of good concentration. On the nose it opens with ripe red fruit — cherry and plum — accompanied by delicate spice notes, hints of cocoa and light tobacco, and a subtle toastiness that doesn’t overpower. The approach is warm but controlled: the structure is broader than that of a young Valpolicella, with well-integrated tannins that support the fruit without weighing it down. The profile remains fresh thanks to elegant acidity and a pleasing sapidity that invites another sip.

On the palate it confirms its enveloping character, with full body, polished tannins and a pleasant mid-palate softness that evolves toward a savory, persistent finish. It is a balanced wine that sits well at the table: it pairs with braised meats, roasts and aged cheeses, stands up to mushroom dishes and structured ragùs, and is also suitable to accompany more complex preparations. Serve at a cool temperature, around 16–18 °C, to appreciate its warmth without losing freshness; it improves with a few years in bottle but is enjoyable immediately.
