This blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella has a medium to medium+ intensity nose that is savoury with spices and herbs layered over dark fruit, blackberry, and plum aromas. It's medium-full bodied with smooth, refined tannins with good structure and fresh acidity lifting the pleasing aroma replays in a slightly off-dry (i.e. a touch sweet) flavour profile. Sweet spices and plums carry through to the finish, with very good length. Tasted May 2024. Score: 90+ pts
