This round and complex wine is produced from Merlot grapes from our best vineyards in Casara Roveri on the Berici Hills.
Aged in French oak barrels and in the bottle, this is a longaging wine. It has an intense ruby red color. On the nose, there are clear hints of black berry fruit, undergrowth, spices and chocolate. In the mouth, it is harmonious and full-bodied with velvety tannins.
