An intense, refined, emotional wine that expresses the soul of Valpolicella.

Description

The latest (…but only in order of time) of the Corteforte wines, it is a special tribute to lovers of grilled red meat and, at the same time, to the Latin heritage of Valpolicella, for the colour that the Romans already favoured in its grapes and wines.

The deliberate choice was to blend the traditional grapes with others from the Cabernet, Cabernet Sauvignon and Croatina varieties, to obtain a wine with more body, tannic and fruity, with violet hues and inky pigments.
Its robust structure is therefore well suited to all dishes with a bold or spicy flavour.
