Made by the Allegrini family, it takes its character from the traditional Ripasso method, which gives the wine added depth while preserving freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuby-red in the glass, it opens with clear aromas of cherries and ripe red fruit, joined by sweet spice and herbal notes.

Clay soils rich in limestone and the traditional pergola training system shape the fruit. Hand-harvested in September, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel. In February, the wine undergoes Ripasso: a slow second fermentation on dried Amarone grape skins. It is then matured in stainless steel and for 11 months in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by a further period of ageing. The wine is made for enjoyable drinking, though no specific cellar-ageing window is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy it with flavourful stews, red meat or medium-aged cheeses.
