A full-bodied Italian red wine made by the traditional appassimento method, bottled at 16% ABV in a 750ml bottle. David Sterza farms vineyards in Casterna, at the foothills of the Lessini mountains within the historic Valpolicella Classico zone. Hand-harvested Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes are dried to concentrate sugars and flavour compounds before fermentation, then aged for 15 months in French oak barrels. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature in a large-bowled glass, with decanting for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
Tasting Notes
Dark ruby red in the glass, opening with concentrated raisin and blackberry aromas; leather and cedar emerge as the wine breathes, layered beneath subtle spice.
Rich and fruit-forward, led by blackberry and raspberry compote alongside darker plum and prune tones; gossamer-like tannins and soft acidity keep it balanced, with cedar, baking spice and cocoa building toward a layered peak.
Long and smooth, with toasted wood and juicy raisin lingering; a thread of dark berry sweetness and warm spice slowly fades.
