| This blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Nebbiolo, Croatina and Sangiovese is sourced from a single vineyard and from vines more than 30 years of age. Giuseppe Quintarelli, the Maestro del Veneto, may have passed away on January 15, 2012, but his legacy and influence are still encapsulated in his wines. He was an uncompromising traditionalist known for crafting wines of purity and sophistication, and this ripasso-style wine will be just that. Expect mixed fresh and dried berry with complex cocoa, tar and spice notes. |
