Palate
Medium-to-full bodied with firm but well-integrated tannins, lively acidity characteristic of Valpolicella, and a rich, velvety texture imparted by the ripasso re-fermentation on Amarone pomace.
Finish
Long and warming finish with lingering notes of dried fruit, cocoa, and a subtle spice that persists well beyond the swallow.
