Garnet in colour, with hints of tawny around the rim, and a glorious bouquet of cherry liqueur, dark chocolate and wafts of roasting coffee. With exposure to air, it reveals hidden depths: black truffle, leather, grandfather’s pipe tobacco, autumn leaves, musk, charcuterie and rose petal. Supremely velvety, full-bodied and mellow, it shows power, restraint and magnificent refinement. With marvellous length on the palate, this has decades of life ahead of it.

Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested in early September, then dried on bamboo racks for about 4months to enhance their aromatic profile. In mid-Jan they are destemmed, crushed, and undergo maceration at 4-5°C for 20days, followed by a 30-day fermentation in concrete at 18°C. Ages in Slavonian oak barrels for 6years and matures in the bottle for at least 12 months.
Press Review
100/100 - A vivid ruby color with a garnet tinge and super-restrained nose of licorice, oak bark, smoke, wood, cigar box, leather, dark chocolate, crushed violets and prunes. Freshness and subtlety. Full-bodied and elegant on the palate due to ripe, filigree tannins with long acidity and a toasty, savory aftertaste. One of the great Amarones. Corvina and Rondinella. Ready to drink now, but intended for the long haul.
