Acquired in 1997, it was the family's first major expansion beyond their historic home in Valpolicella.

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, followed by traditional red wine fermentation with approximately 12 days of skin maceration. The wine is then matured for 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks, developing complexity and structure while preserving its generous fruit character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep ruby red in color, the 2022 vintage opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, dark cherries and plum preserves, complemented by black pepper, licorice, vanilla, cedar and aromatic Mediterranean herbs.
