First harvest of Amarone grapes for this renowned producer of the white wine Lugana. The soil is in Valpolicella Doc, volcanic type, the grapes are corvina, corvinone, rondinella, croatina. Traditional and moderniste, aged in new barrique for 2 years. Long, balanced, with a good acidity and a clean finish

A new release, from a single 10 hectares vineyard in Marcellise, eastern Valpolicella. It's on a basaltic plateau that gives great acidity and thus longevity. Drink it in 5-7 years.

Lots of maturity and arancio. Tawny (leather, chocolate, dried fruit) character.

This one cut my legs, as the Italians say. At 17% is has the density of a Vintage Port but without being syrupy or sickly sweet. Intensely rich and deep with fig and golden raisin flavored this is a big wine that somehow still retains a freshness. Wonderful bottle at the end of a dinner.
