Description
This wine is a blend of semi-dried Corvina and Malbec grapes. The unrivalled and unmistakable qualities of Corvina Veronese, with its over-ripe cherry aroma and deep velvety structure, have balanced perfectly with Malbec's exuberant tannicity, thus making for a unique and fascinating aroma/taste profile.

The grapes lose about 20% of their weight and gain in the concentration of sugars and aromas. This process is followed by gentle destemming and crushing. |
