The nose opens with ripe red fruit, layered with dried fruit notes and a distinctive savoury nuance of walnuts and almonds.\n\nThe palate is harmonious and velvety, yet firmly structured by powerful tannins and supported by a long, persistent finish. The fruit remains vivid throughout, lifted by the wine’s natural richness and alcohol, giving it excellent ageing potential and the capacity to evolve beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from Monte Lodoletta in Veneto, this Valpolicella Superiore is built on a classic blend of 60% Corvina, 35% Rondinella, and 5% Molinara. Fermentation is carried out naturally in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at around 28°C for 6–8 days, followed by a short settling period in tank before 30 months of ageing in barriques. Before bottling, the different barriques are blended, 10.5% Amarone from the same vintage is added, and the wine is filtered and bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a serious, full-flavoured red that pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as braised beef, roasted lamb, game, mushroom risotto, and aged hard cheeses.
