Ripe and dried fruit flavours of black cherry, plum and blackberry in spirit are layered with cocoa, sweet tobacco and spice, evolving toward balsamic nuances. The finish is long and persistent, with warmth, depth and complex savoury detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage in Valpolicella was marked by a warm, dry growing season with limited rainfall, resulting in lower yields and highly concentrated grapes.

Optimal drying conditions supported a clean, expressive aromatic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Grapes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from the prestigious La Groletta and Conca d'Oro crus in the hillside zone of Valpolicella Classica.
