Description
The wine combines finesse and character. With good depth, it unfolds rich and deep aromas on the nose, with a clear perception of red fruit, black cherry and blackberry. The taste is fresh and agile, with enveloping tannic silkiness and pleasant drinkability.

Leonildo's idea was simple but at the same time revolutionary: to enhance the individual vineyards and give the wines an identity based on the relationship between variety, soil, climate and human work. The strong link with the territory leads Leonildo to make important choices also for the agronomic management of the vineyard, eliminating chemical weeding in 2002 and starting to convert all production to organic in 2008. In 2008, with other friends, he founded ''FIVI'', the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers.
The Valpolicella adventure arrives in the early 2000s, with the acquisition of the Monte Garzon Vineyard and Villa Cipolla in Tregnago, recently renovated and used as a Wine RelaiIs. In a few years Leonildo became the best interpreter of Soave and a point of reference for the national and international markets.
The fourth generation, represented by his sons Andrea and Dario both graduates in agriculture and enology, after the painful loss of their father in 2018, continue the family tradition in the vineyards near Soave with the same love and passion of their forefathers. Read more
