- This sweet, red wine shows great finesse and aromatic complexity. Notes of ripe plums, red berries and cocoa are accompanied by a jammy, spicy bouquet with hints of chocolate. Rich and complex, with an underlying minerality on the palate, the sweetness is beautifully balanced.
This wine is made from 40 year old vines grown in a four hectare area. The vineyard is planted with a south-easterly aspect and sits at an altitude of 200 to 250 metres above sea-level. The soil type is made up of volcanic and balsatic components, which impart wonderful mineral complexity to the wine. The vines are trained on a pergola system and are planted at a density of 3,000 vines per hectare. Harvest took place at the end of September.
Roccolo Grassi was established in 1996 by Bruno Sartori and his two children Francesca and Marco. Based in Veneto, they produce wines of unique character and strong personality, which are expressive of their origins. Winemaker Marco Sartori is one of hottest talents in the region. His philosophy is very simple; yields in the vineyard are significantly reduced to obtain a fabulous fruit concentration. The 14-hectares of vineyard are meticulously cultivated and minimal intervention takes place in the winery,
to allow the characteristics of each of the crus to be fully expressed. The result is a collection of world class wines distinguished by their pure elegance.
