(2016 Vintage Notes)
corvinone
corvina
elegant
woody notes
This exquisite Ripasso red, which derives its character and color from a “repass” over the fermented Amarone must, reveals elegant notes of red berries and spices with subtle oak undertones, and offers a full-bodied palate with a beautiful balance between acidity and tannins… A must-try!

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the estate:

It’s not often that I visit a winery in the Veneto region that offers such high quality at such a remarkably fair price in today’s market. Readers of *The Wine Advocate* should give these wines serious consideration.
