Richly aromatic, with notes of strawberry, candied orange zest, and pepper. Develops in flavour, with crisp red cherry fruit, dried herbs, white pepper, and a balsamic tone.
Fresh on the palate, light to medium bodied and dry, textured with light peppery tannins.
Nerd Notes
A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella from Valpolicella in Veneto, Italy.
The grapes come from the Massimago estate - the vineyard sits at 100m to 400m elevation with a south-west exposure, and vines growing in limestone soils.
Grapes are hand picked, gently destemmed, and crushed. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats, starting with a few days of skin maceration.
The wine is then aged in stainless steel for a few months, before being bottled and aged for 6 months before release.
