- A luscious and velvety textured wine full of intense black fruit and berry notes with hints of wild herbs and spice, complemented by a beautifully balanced sweetness.
The grapes were allowed to dry gently in well-ventilated rooms for between five to six months, concentrating their flavours, sweetness and colour. In spring, the grapes were crushed and fermentation was started by the natural yeast present on the grapes. The must was transferred into barriques to finish fermenting. The wine matured in wood on its lees for 10 to 12 months before being bottled.

| Winery | This wine is produced from a selection of the best grapes from Ca'Rugate's own vineyards in the hills around Montecchia di Crosara. The Guyot trained vines are planted at a density of 5,000 and 6,500 vines per hectare which yield 90 quintals per hectare. The soils are limestone, with fresh white calcareous components. The grapes are hand-picked during the last two weeks of September and laid flat in small wooden boxes containing an average of just six kilograms; this allows good air flow during the crucial drying process. |
