This beautiful Ripasso red, which gets its character and color from "ironing" the fermented must of Amarone, reveals elegant notes of red fruit and spices, finely wooded, and offers a full-bodied palate, with a fine balance between acidity and tannins... A must-try!

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Domain rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
It's not so often that I visit a Veneto estate that offers this level of quality for an excessively honest price in today's market. Readers of the Wine Advocate should give these wines serious consideration.
