A wine made from secondary fermentation on the Amarone pomace, a process that gives it greater body and complexity. Aged for 12 months in 35-hectare Slavonian oak barrels. Ruby red with a garnet rim. An elegant nose with notes of dried violets and jammy sour cherries blended with notes of cedarwood, tobacco, black pepper, juniper berries, sweet spices, and rich balsamic aromas.

An ideal wine to accompany red meats, mature cheeses and rich traditional Venetian dishes.
