As with Amarone, the grapes here also undergo a drying process of one month before being made into a wine that matures for eight years in large wooden barrels. This full-bodied wine reveals a complex variety of aromas on the nose, including velvety plum, ripe cherry, dried fruit, wrapped in delicate vanilla and a hint of cinnamon, complemented by fine notes of marzipan and herbs. A subtle freshness of mint and cut grass rounds off the bouquet. In the mouth, it is superbly balanced with fresh acidity and is carried by fine-grained tannins that highlight the cherry fruit.
