IL PRIMO DELLA CLASSE RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO D.O.C.G. 2022

Deep ruby red in colour. The bouquet is exceptionally intense and broad, revealing aromas of red fruit, preserves, Morello cherry, violet and wild rose. Warming, sweet, intense and elegant on the palate, with a remarkably persistent finish and flavours reminiscent of dried grapes, almond and Morello cherry.
